The wonder of Maglev Train

1 Do you know what a maglev train is? It is a wonder! It floats, it goes faster than a bullet train, and doesn’t use any fuel! Do you think it’s all in your imagination? No! It’s all thanks to amazing technology and advanced science.



2 Magnetic Levitation Transport (or Maglev for short) is a special train that uses magnetic forces to travel across the track levitating*. The maglev train floats by levitation using magnets. Two magnets, using opposing forces, push against each other, which enables the maglev to run. It doesn’t use any fuel; instead it uses energy that is emitted from the track called a guide way. The maglev train can go up to 300 mph using this system.



3 The maglev train has its pros and cons. One benefit to having a maglev train is that it is faster than a bullet train and uses 30% less energy than normal trains. Its track requires little maintenance and could create a new industry along with helping the economy. While these are pros, a maglev train also has its limitations that should be taken into account. The maglev train’s tracks are more expensive than normal train tracks and a whole new set of tracks would have to be built. The last con is that, despite being quiet, air disturbance occurs by maglev train traversing the track.



4 It may have costly limitations, but its pros are sure interesting. It can save fuel and carry large numbers of passengers. It’s all thanks to amazing science and technology advances.

I had just finished making a complicated piece of equipment that was to be used for a show opening in Philadelphia called "Fiorello." When the machine arrived they had trouble wiring it, so instead of going off to college that morning for an orientation, I spent several days at the theater fixing my light/sound equipment. The show received poor reviews, except for the mention by one reviewer of the "special effects," which, he wrote, were "outstanding."

Fourteen-year-old Albert Buckle was staring at death itself. Thick smoke moved toward him. Flames licked at the ceiling. Every second, the heat grew worse.

But Albert couldn’t run away from the fire. He was trapped deep underground in the coal mine where he worked. People were starting to panic. “Everyone is going to die!” someone shouted.

It was November 13, 1909. Albert worked at the Cherry Mine—a coal mine about 100 miles from Chicago, Illinois. Nearly 500 miners spent their days in the Cherry Mine. Their job was to dig out coal from deep inside the earth.

But today, disaster had struck. Albert and the other miners were caught in one of the worst coal mine fires in American history.


Where was Albert, and why was he in danger?
