PERANCANGAN KONSEP DESAIN KERETA MAGLEV

Abstract

Maglev train is a train using magnets as a Chair of the wheel with the aim of reducing the friction between wheel and rail. The existing maglev train comes on electrical energy, it is still a bit of utilizing alternative energy. The purpose of this research is to design a maglev that energy efficient environmentally friendly & by making use of alternative energy. Research of design method using VDI 2221 beginning with the classification task, the design concept, the design of the form or manifestation, and the design is complete. The research results obtained are a maglev that has the ability to lift 6982.7 N with a maximum speed of 100 km/h as well as using the power of the Sun of 5.615 MW.
