Explore the Future: Maglev Techniques Explained! 🚄✨

The video explains the differences between passive and active maglev techniques used in Hyperloop technology.
using passive or active maglev. Passive maglev uses permanent magnets in a specific configuration to create a constant magnetic current that levitates the pod, similar to the magnets you might have played with as a kid. Active maglev uses a combination of permanent magnets and electromagnets, the latter which can manipulate the electric current and the strength of that current. Basically, if I get too close, I drive it one way. If I get too far, I add some strength. And so you can kind of think of it as balancing out. And so if there's bumps in the track, if there's all this, I have a system which we basically use as an active control system to make that ride smooth. And while you might think this sounds similar to existing maglev trains, the Hyperloop concept removes a key element that holds a lot of trains and planes back, air resistance.
