The 9 inch world globe contains a large magnet inside the top and a small magnet inside the bottom. The top of the stand contains a large iron core electromagnet. The bottom of the stand contains a Hall effect magnetic field strength sensor. This senses the position of the globe by sensing the field strength from the small magnet in the bottom of the globe. The sensor provides input to the feedback circuit which controls the current provided to the electromagnet in the top of the stand. This feedback control circuit holds the globe in mid air. It provides rock stable levitation.
substance that is diamagnetic repels a magnetic field. All materials have diamagnetic properties, but the effect is very weak.
Diamagnetic
levitation can be used to levitate very light pieces of pyrolytic graphite or bismuth above a moderately strong permanent magnet.
As
water is predominantly diamagnetic, this technique has been used to levitate water droplets and even live animals, such as a grasshopper and a frog.
A live frog levitates inside a 32 mm diameter vertical bore of a Bitter solenoid in a magnetic field of about 16 teslas at the High Fiel Magnet Laboratory in Nijmegen the Netherlands.
SUPERCONDUCTORS
Superconductors
may be considered perfect diamagnets (r = 0), completely expelling magnetic fields due to the Meissner effect.
The
levitation of the magnet is stabilized due to flux pinning within the superconductor. This principle is exploited by EDS (electrodynamic suspension) magnetic levitation trains.
Superconductors
are sometimes proposed for use for the electromagnet, since they can produce a stronger magnetic field for the same weight.

MAGLEV (TRANSPORT)
Invented
by Alfred Zehden (German). Its a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion.
Magnetized coil running along the track is called a guideway, repels the large magnets on the train's undercarriage Allows the train to levitate between 0.39 and 3.93 inches (1 to 10 cm) above the guideway. Once the train is levitated, power is supplied to the coils within the guideway walls to create a unique system of magnetic fields that pull and push the train along the guideway. The electric current supplied to the coils in the guideway walls is constantly alternating to change the polarity of the magnetized coils. This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust. Trains float on a cushion of air, eliminating friction. This lack of friction and the trains' aerodynamic designs allow these trains to reach unprecedented ground transportation speeds of more than 310 mph (500 kph).

There are three primary types of maglev technology: Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) uses the attractive magnetic force of a magnet beneath a rail to lift the train up. electrodynamic suspension (EDS) uses a repulsive force between two magnetic fields to push the train away from the rail. Stabilized permanent magnet suspension (SPM) or Inductrack uses opposing arrays of permanent magnets to levitate the train above the rail.
ELECTRODYNAMIC SUSPENSION(EDS)
Both the rail and the train exert a magnetic field. Train is levitated by the repulsive force between these magnetic fields. Magnetic field in the train is produced by either electromagnets or by an array of permanent magnets (as in Inductrack). Repulsive force in the track is created by an induced magnetic field in wires or other conducting strips in the track.
At slow speeds, the current induced in these coils and the resultant magnetic flux is not large enough to support the weight of the train. Hence, the train must have wheels or some other form of landing gear to support the train until it reaches a speed that can sustain levitation. Propulsion coils on the guideway are used to exert a force on the magnets in the train and make the train move forward. The propulsion coils that exert a force on the train are effectively a linear motor. A.C. flowing through the coils generates a continuously varying magnetic field that moves forward along the track. Frequency of the A.C. is synchronized to match the speed of the train. Offset between the field exerted by magnets on the train and the applied field creates a force moving the train forward.

A maglev line project was presented to India's railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav by an American company. If approved, this line would serve between the cities of Mumbai and Delhi, the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that if the line project is successful the Indian government would build lines between other cities and also between Mumbai centre and Chattrapati Shivaji International Airport. State of Maharashtra has also approved feasibility study for Maglev train between Mumbai, which is commercial capital of India and state govt capital and Nagpur, which is second capital of the state and about 1000 km away. It plans to connect developed area of Mumbai and Pune with Nagpur via underdeveloped hinterland via Ahmednagar, Beed, Latur, Nanded and Yavatmal.
DISADVANTAGES OF MAGLEV
Noise pollution Not compatible with conventional track Weight of the large electromagnets Maglev trains are not compatible with conventional track .Maglev trains are not compatible with existing steel tracks; therefore the entire line would have to be constructed from scratch. Steel wheel high speed trains can partially run on existing rail infrastructure/Row's. Strong magnetic fields onboard the train or along the tracks could be dangerous for people, computer laptop disks and credit/debit cards. The high speed of some maglev trains translates to more sound due to air displacement, which gets louder as the trains go faster. Barstow and Baker residents may find this unacceptable as the high speed train passes by their communities. As linear motors must fit within or straddle their track over the full length of the train, track design is challenging for anything other than point-topoint .
