http://www.vp-scientific.com/magnetic_levitation.htm

Extractions: Simple to operate The gold standard for optimal bacterial growth is aeration using a shake flask on an orbital shaker. Unfortunately deep well blocks (96 or 384) are not aerated like the flasks are on the orbital shaker and the growth fades when the oxygen in the media is depleted. One of our customers compared E. coli growth using Levitation Stirring in 96 deep well blocks and a shake flask on an orbital shaker the results below demonstrated comparable growth curves between the two culture conditions. Thus it possible to obtain maximal DNA or protein yields in miniaturized culture conditions.

http://www.fact-index.com/m/ma/magnetic_levitation.html

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index A magnetic levitation train or maglev is a train -like vehicle that is suspended in the air above the track, and propelled forward using the repulsive and attractive forces of magnetism . Because of the lack of physical contact between the track and the vehicle, the only friction is that between the carriages and the air. Consequently maglev trains can travel at very high speeds with reasonable energy consumption and noise levels (systems have been proposed that operate at up to 650 km/h, which is far faster than is practical with conventional rail transport ). Whilst the very high maximum speeds make maglev trains potential competitors to airliners on many routes, the enormous cost of constructing the tracks has limited maglev vehicles largely to demonstration projects. Table of contents 1 Technology 4 External links There are two primary types of maglev technology: One that relies on superconducting magnets and a newer, potentially more economical system that uses permanent magnets. Japan and Germany are active in maglev research producing several different approaches and designs. In one design, the train can be levitated by the repulsive force of like poles or the attractive force of opposite poles of magnets. The train can be propelled by a

Extractions: David O'Loughlin said the high-tech mag-lev transit system for Pittsburgh could be finished in about three years. O'Loughlin was wrong. And what happens - or doesn't happen - over the next six months or so will decide whether the maglev ever advances to the next stage or whether it goes nowhere. ABC News: Seven MagLev Finalists The seven "maglev" finalists in California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Nevada and Pennsylvania were announced Monday. The seven selected projects will get $12 million combined in grants for further studies on their feasibility, and one will be chosen next year for development and construction.

Science. magnetic levitation Train. Shanghai, China may be the world s first city to build a commercial magnetic levitation train.
http://www.learnersonline.com/weekly/archive2K/week48/

Extractions: Subject: Physical Science Magnetic Levitation Train Shanghai, China may be the world's first city to build a commercial magnetic levitation train. German consortium Transrapid is pursuing the contract to build the controversial "Maglev" high-speed train. Germany has invested decades of research and billions of dollars into developing Maglev technology, as has Japan, though the technology has yet to be put to commercial use. Maglev uses powerful magnets to hold a train a few millimeters from the track and propel it with little noise or vibration. In an April time trial, a Japanese test Maglev set a speed record of 343 mph. Germany has its own test Maglev, which a delighted Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji rode in July. Shanghai is expected to sign a contract with Transrapid as early as December, 2000 for a 20- to 25-mile line to the 1-year-old Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The venture could cost more than $1 billion. This week's online lesson is about magnets, magnetism, and Maglev technology.

http://www.desc.med.vu.nl/Magnet_us.htm

Extractions: Magnetic levitation Every element (in the periodic system) is magnetic. However, there are three main levels or domains of magnetism. The smallest effect is know as diamagnetism and is a property of elements like antimony, bismuth, copper, carbon but also phosphorus and hydrogen. Paramagnetism has an intermediate value, about two orders of magnitude higher than diamagnetism. Paramagnetism is seen in e.g. aluminum, zinc, liquid oxygen but also in glass and rubber. The largest magnetic effect is known as ferromagnetism. This is, in our daily life, the most common form of magnetism. The only elements with ferromagnetic properties are iron, cobalt, and nickel. Ferromagnetism is about 10 times larger compared to diamagnetism. Ferro and paramagnetic elements may easily be levitated in low gradient magnetic fields. This system is used in various commercial products. To elevate diamagnetic materials, however, much higher field strengths and field gradients are necessary. In such a high power magnet organic materials or even living biological samples may be elevated, thereby counteracting the force of gravity.

Extractions: BACKGROUND The Subcommittee will conduct a hearing to examine magnetic levitation transportation issues. Magnetic levitation (maglev) is an advanced technology in which magnetic forces lift, propel, and guide a vehicle over a guideway. Utilizing state-of-the-art electric power and control systems, this configuration eliminates contact between vehicle and guideway. Maglev systems, although not yet in revenue service, have been demonstrated to operate at speeds around 300 miles per hour (mph). High-speed passenger trains such as the European TGV and ICE systems, using flanged wheels and steel rails, have also reached speeds approaching the 300 mph level on dedicated rights-of-way. Because of its high acceleration and cruising speed, maglev offers competitive trip-time savings to auto and aviation modes in the 40 to 600-mile travel markets. By comparison, current U.S. passenger trains such as the Amtrak Metroliners operate at up to 125 mph on parts of the Northeast Corridor. The new Acela high-speed trains used by Amtrak are capable of 150 mph, but in most areas except the newly electrified New Haven-Boston segment of the Northeast Corridor, they are limited to about 130 mph by the infrastructure. The Maglev Deployment Program in TEA 21 In 1998 Congress passed the "Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century" (TEA 21), which created a National Magnetic Levitation Transportation Technology Deployment Program. The program is to demonstrate high-speed maglev technology in commercial service through a project of about 40 miles in length.

Magnetic Levitation
To cause diamagnetic levitation, both the diamagnetic material and magnetic material must produce a combined repulsive force to overcome the force of gravity.
http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/magnet_university/magnetic_levitation.htm

Extractions: Up Diamagnetism A diamagnetic substance is one whose atoms have no permanent magnetic dipole moment. When an external magnetic field is applied to a diamagnetic substance such as bismuth or silver a weak magnetic dipole moment is induced in the direction opposite the applied field. All materials are actually diamagnetic, in that a weak repulsive force is generated by in a magnetic field by the current of the orbiting electron. Some materials, however, have stronger paramagnetic qualities that overcome their natural diamagnetic qualities. These paramagnetic materials, such as iron and nickel, have unpaired electrons. Some Diamagnetic Elements Some Ferromagnetic Elements Some Paramagnetic Elements Diamagnetic Levitation Diamagnetic Levitation occurs by bringing a diamagnetic material in close proximity to material that produces a magnetic field. The diamagnetic material will repel the material producing the magnetic field. Generally, however, this repulsive force is not strong enough to overcome the force of gravity on the Earth's surface. To cause diamagnetic levitation, both the diamagnetic material and magnetic material must produce a combined repulsive force to overcome the force of gravity. There are a number of ways to achieve this: Placing Diamagnetic Material in Strong Electromagnetic Fields Modern Electromagnets are capable of producing extremely strong magnetic fields. These electromagnets have been used to levitate many diamagnetic materials including weekly diamagnetic materials such as organic matter. A popular educational demonstration involves the placement of small frogs into a strong static electromagnetic field. The frog, being composed of primarily water, acts as a week diamagnet and is levitated.
