Sir, thats about inside the train.. What about the iron materials near the train, say on the platform, like a person is just going to enter a train...ain't he gonna feel an attracting force due to belt, watch or anything he's wearing which is made of iron?

Wherever the magnetic lines of force are likely to interfere with humans and their gadgets etc., the shielding will be in place.It is the speed and this magnetic radiation ,which had made the MagLev to run at an elevated guideway.
The superconductor type MagLev develops magnetic field which is about 100 times more powerful, and even that is shielded with control elements like High magnetic shields made of steel and Aluminum for eddy current.
One common method of control is to have another winding in a different phase of magnetism, around the active winding, which will cancel the radiated magnetism....
I will give you a simple example...have you seen speakers used in our audio systems and in TVs ? if you take any iron piece close to the back of the speaker the magnet will immediately attract it.....but there are speakers for Color TV which have magnetic shield at back which will not attract iron material...the shielding is to ensure that the Electron beam inside the Color Picture tube does not get deflected due to the speaker's magnetism...

^ spot on sir...sometimes that shielding in TV's may cause color patches(mostly greenish) in the screen! Perfect example for explaining shielding

There is another permanent magnet stuck at the back to null the original speaker's magnetic radiation....
You can try out another experiment...when the color tv is working just move it clockwise or anticlockwise...you will see color patches again...this is because of Earth's magnetic orientation...when we switch on the TV there is a DE-magnetizing circuit which will erase all magnetization on the tube metal frame ,and then slowly reduce..but once you change the tv's orientation, then fresh magnetizing of the tube's metal part takes place leading to the dis-coloration.Switching off and again on after 5 minutes will erase this and the tv will be ok.

Did you know that the Earth's AXIS had shifted by 4 inches and North and South MAGNETIC poles have also shifted in the past year ? The North pole is shifting at the rate of 40 miles per year towards Russia...

OT:- So do we see any immediate impact to human lives?

This is like '2012' film !!

I've read the "shifting"part when I was studying about magnetism few months back.
But the experiment with the TV was not known to me, I'll try it next time I go home.

Ok, so assuming that necessary precautions have been taken.
Now, I've read your article but I have doubt on how do the MagLev trains accelerate and decelerate? Please Sir, if you can explain or give some links explaining the mechanism?

Also, if the train is always "above" the track by some millimeters, then due to the large momentum of the train when emergency brakes are applied, how are the things kept such that it maintains a minimum threshold distance from the track and not "hit" the track giving train and its passengers an impulse???

Again, when there's a turn ahead and the train is moving at 500kmph then due to its momentum how the things are kept such that it doesnt slip off the magnetic field of the track and goes away the line?

Here is a link ,which explains most of your queries....

A research team had found the fossil of a sea crab belonging to family Potamidae.....on top of Himalaya Mountain,and Ammonites were found above 5,000 meters on the Himalayas.Here is a picture of a small and large Ammonite.

OT- I also want to know about it.

The first symptoms of this shift was noticed when migratory birds did not arrive at a particular town in US..when the town people looked , and inquired around they found the birds had arrived on time but at a town 30+ kilometers away...this made the Environment and Geo Scientist to sit up and take note...
In the mean time Pilots of air crafts flying to their destination were noticing that slowly their intended place of landing were geographically shifting elsewhere, as per their on board compass.

NASA and other Military and Space Agencies are aware of this gradual shift taking place every year, but it is not widely known ,outside the Scientific Community ....the shift that happened in 2011 was a little more than normal...a whole degree .

As for as Humans are concerned, your old compass though works correctly will no longer point to the correct destinations,simply because the orientation had shifted..so markings made on Earth's North pole based data are no longer valid...there will be some natural disturbances like earth quake,El nino,and to some extent UV influx....but nothing as disturbing to us as to the birds which rely on magnetic orientation....Of course now all flights have re-oriented heading guide to follow as per compass..

Right now, the magnetic north pole, where the field is vertical, is located at 84.97 degrees North and 132.35 degrees West, above the Arctic Ocean and drifting generally north-northwest toward Siberia at about 55 kilometers (34.2 miles) per year,

Below is the new marking for Tampa Florida Airport Runway markings...


Thanks to gradual shifting of the Earth's magnetic field, Tampa International Airport has to renumber its runway, with '19R' and '19L' taking over from '18R' and '18L' to reflect the magnetic shift

Great piece of info.
will have to read more about it

Looking forward to queries on Locos...

JANUARY 2012....

The railways has decided to set up a National High-Speed Rail Authority (NHSRA) to expedite high-speed train project which is likely to be introduced in the country soon. The railways has drafted a Bill in this connection which is likely to be moved in Parliament.According to a Railway Board official, the railways intends to set up an autonomous body to implement and monitor the high-speed train project across the country. Since high-speed trains would run at the maximum speed of 300 km per hour, a legislation is required to set up the authority, he said.



The proposed NHSRA will have nine members, including chairman and eight members. It will have four full-time members which include member (project), member (finance), member (engineering) and member (planning). The stakeholders in the high-speed rail corridor project will also have four representatives as part-time members in the NHRSA, a Board official said, adding it will be set up on the pattern of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).
According to sources, the entire NHRSA project will be under the direct control of the Union railway ministry. However, selection of the chairman and members will be done by the Public Enterprise Selection Board with the approval of the Appointment Committee of Cabinet, sources said, adding the railways has already selected six routes to introduce high-speed trains across the country. According to a Board official, the railways has awarded contracts to global consultants for making feasibility studies of the indentified routes. The state government and financial institutions will be stakeholders in this project. It is believed that it will cost about Rs 100 crore to construct one km dedicated high-speed corridor in the country on six different routes, he said. According to sources, the NHSRA Bill has already been sent to the Union law ministry, the urban development ministry, the Union finance ministry and the Planning Commission.
A UK-based consultant is carrying out feasibility study on the longest Delhi-Agra-Lucknow-Varanasi-Patna (991 km) while a Spanish consultant has been given the responsibility to make feasibility study on the shortest route Howrah-Haldia (135 km). Besides, a French consultant is said to have completed feasibility study on the Pune-Mumbai-Ahmedabad route (650 km), sources said, adding feasibility studies on other routes like Delhi-Chandigarh-Amritsar, Hyderabad-Vijayawada-Chennai and Chennai-Bengaluru-Ernakulam are being taken up, too. The railways is keen to introduce this ambitious project with an aim to increase country's growth rate as well as develop satellite towns, the Board official said.


MAY 2012


A Japanese team had visited Ratlam Indore during a study of the Delhi to Mumbai route, for a high speed(200Kmph) bullet train which will be progressively increased to 300 Kmph..The entire route was checked by the Team to evaluate the difficulties and propose the steps to implement the High Speed train..

Proposal for High speed 300+ Kmph trains had been made in the PUNE-MUMBAI-AHEMEDABAD sector . The progress is slow because even the National High Speed Rail Authority is Yet to be formed.
ON A SLOW LANE

The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed train project was first conceived in 2007-08. A consortium led by Systra, a French consultant, and supported by Italy’s ITALFER and RITES India submitted a pre-feasibility study in December 2010.

Gujarat and Maharashtra have high per capita income and traffic projections in this sector, and this indicates financial sustainability

The Pune-Mumbai-Ahmedabad route to cost over Rs 1 lakh crore, of which the Mumbai-Ahmedabad segment would account for Rs 63,000 crore (inclusive of rolling stock)

Challenges:

Financial modelling of the project to make it viable

Land acquisition: High speed train needs more than the usual land required along the tracks for safety.Fences have to be erected to prevent live stock..including humans from crossing the tracks,since a high speed Train hitting any object on Track will have disastrous result. The exact land requirement would be known after the detailed project report...
With the Govt's focus ,elsewhere , the feasibility study of the project started in 2007 is still to be considered..
