The Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering (MIT), commissioned by the government of the Leningrad Region, has developed a technical design for the route for magnetic cushion trains. The press service of the institute announced this in mid-October 2023.
 | The technical project of the passenger monorail transport system using the magnetic unloading system was developed for the route from the Devyatkino metro station to the Mega-Parnas shopping center in the Leningrad region, TASS was specified in MIT |  |
Representatives of the organization added that by mid-October 2023, the construction of the highway has not yet begun. At the same time, they did not specify when they would start work. However, earlier Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Yuri Solomonov, who is also the general designer of the enterprise, said that they plan to put the system into operation in 2025. He also reported that such trains will be able to operate in unmanned mode.
According to Yuri Solomonov, practical work on design documentation for the first prototype train has begun. The creators of the project named among its advantages the high speed of construction, the need for minimal maintenance of overpasses and rolling stock, low energy consumption and low noise levels, as well as environmental friendliness.
A full-size model of a train using magnetic unloading technology, operating by October 2023, was created in 2021 on the basis of the MIT test complex. Based on the test results, it was found that all technical solutions were taken correctly in the development.
A magnetic cushion train or maglev is a type of rail transport moving using the force of an artificially created magnetic field. The name comes from the fusion of the words magnetic levitation.
The idea of developing a train on magnetic pads belongs to German inventors of the early twentieth century. However, it was possible to implement the project only in 1971 in Germany.[1]
