Bullet trains are trains where maglev, or magnetic levitation, is used to propel the train down the

track. It runs on special magnetic tracks that have minimal turnes and curves to prevent
accidents. They are one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel as well as one of the
safest ways to travel. They have decreased the amount of car usage in the world, therefore
slightly unclogging busy roads and highways.we must use bullet trains instead of using car and
motor bike and pollute pollution

Did you ever want to say something

more to your friends than just,
"Youknow those cool bullet trains,
they're really fast." Well, if you
read my report you can say how fast
they travel, what they run on, and
more!

    Did you know there are different kinds of bullet trains in different
countries? For example there's the German ICE, the TGV in France,
the American Flyer, and last but not least the Shinkansen in Japan. The
fastest is the TGV.  It can get up to speeds of 322 m.p.h. That's two
times faster than most race cars! The slowest is the American Flyer, it
can only get up to speeds of 140 m.p.h.    

    You may already know that bullet

trains are fast, look like bullets, etc. 
But now for more. Did you know that
bullet trains have special tracks that no
other train can ride? And did you know a
bullet train's plans are almost entirely
based on aerodynamics?  Wow!   While
most trains run on coal or diesel fuel,
these don't. They run on electricity.
That's partly why they have special tracks. They use electricity so
they can go much father distances without needing to refuel or stop a
lot

The term bullet train refers to the high speed Japanese commuter rail system. It runs on standard
guage track and is powered by 25,000 V AC overhead electricity. By powering the train from above
this allows the train to be much lighter and helps reduce wear and tear to the tracks

A few countries are using powerful electromagnets to develop high-speed trains, called maglev

trains. Maglev is short for magnetic levitation, which means that these trains will float over a
guideway using the basic principles of magnets to replace the old steel wheel and track trains. In this
article, you will learn how electromagnetic propulsion works, how three specific types of maglev trains
work and where you can ride one of these trains.

If you've ever played with magnets, you know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each
other. This is the basic principle behind electromagnetic propulsion. Electromagnets are similar to
other magnets in that they attract metal objects, but the magnetic pull is temporary. As you can read
about in How Electromagnets Work, you can easily create a small electromagnet yourself by
connecting the ends of a copper wire to the positive and negative ends of an AA, C or D-cell battery.
This creates a small magnetic field. If you disconnect either end of the wire from the battery, the
magnetic field is taken away.
The magnetic field created in this wire-and-battery experiment is the simple idea behind a maglev
train rail system. There are three components to this system:

 A large electrical power source

 Metal coils lining a guideway or track
 Large guidance magnets attached to the underside of the train
The big difference between a maglev train and a conventional train is that maglev trains do not have
anengine -- at least not the kind of engine used to pull typical train cars along steel tracks. The engine
for maglev trains is rather inconspicuous. Instead of using fossil fuels, the magnetic field created by
the electrified coils in the guideway walls and the track combine to propel the train
