Power supply has been a major technological challenge for high-speed maglev trains. As China aims to be a transport superpower, a team of Chinese researchers has developed wireless power transfer for maglev trains. Photo: CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co
In maglev innovation, Chinese researchers transfer power wirelessly to moving train
- A test run in eastern China found the elevated prototype could draw powerful electricity from transmitting coils on the rail with up to 92.4 per cent efficiency
- Although a maglev train is driven forward by magnetic force, much of the equipment on board requires electricity, and existing methods have their drawbacks
