Magnovate - Maglev for the Toronto Zoo - Part II Engineering

This is our second part in a series of the Magnovate Company Maglev that has been approved to be put into the Toronto Zoo. The implementation of the Maglev at the Zoo will show to the world the potential of this technology.We will focus on the engineering benefits of the Maglev. Maglev Engineering Magline’s patented powertrain technology uses magnetic levitation (or maglev); a system of magnets to suspend and propel vehicles along a guideway. Maglev trains in Germany and Japan safely operated at speeds near 500 kph for decades, but are too expensive and lack high-speed switching capability. These existing systems long ago proved the enormous performance benefits of replacing conventional wheels-on- axles with frictionless maglev drives Levitation eliminates the pounding of steel wheels on tracks as well as friction and rolling resistance and enables high speeds and unparalleled energy efficiency with minimal wear. Maglev vehicles cost less to build and make much less noise both inside ...

Magnovate - Maglev technology for the World

Magnovate Transportation Magnovate Transportation Inc. was founded in 2013 to commercialize Magline, a patented magnetic levitation (maglev) technology, a green, quiet, and cost-efficient power system. Magnovate founder is Edmonton entrepreneur Dan Corns. Over the next 5 years Magnovate plans to execute a series of strategically timed projects for early adopters of this new technology. The Company proposes to progress over a period of years from building slow-speed systems ranging from $30-$200 million CAD to high-speed rail projects costing billions. Magnovate is the lynchpin of a consortium that includes several multi-billion dollar international industrial leaders, Magna, Stantec, All-Trade Industrial Contractors, and Plenary Group who are assisting Magnovate with project delivery, marketing, financing, and global expansion. The Consortium has contracted with the Toronto Zoo to build an elevated system at that facility as its first demonstration project. Magnovate will continue to...
