Sinopse

Floating Trains explores the revolutionary potential of hover technology, specifically magnetic levitation (Maglev), in transforming rail transportation. It delves into the science and engineering behind trains that float above the tracks, eliminating friction and enabling unprecedented speeds.

 
Examining both Electromagnetic Suspension (EMS) and Electrodynamic Suspension (EDS) systems, the book highlights how Maglev could offer faster, more energy-efficient, and sustainable alternatives to conventional rail. One intriguing fact is that Maglev trains can reach speeds exceeding 300 mph, significantly reducing travel times.

 
The book progresses from a historical overview of rail technology to a detailed examination of Maglev principles, engineering challenges, and existing systems like the Shanghai Transrapid. It analyzes the economic feasibility and potential social impacts of widespread Maglev adoption, including the high initial costs and environmental considerations.

 
By bridging theoretical physics with practical engineering and economic realities, Floating Trains offers a comprehensive understanding of this cutting-edge transportation technology and its potential to reshape the future of high-speed rail.

    Coming from a working-class background, Paul Besley knew the worst and best of life in a Yorkshire steel town. He had always been drawn to the solitude of the hills, but that life nearly ended when a fall while hillwalking left him critically injured and alone in the mountains of the Lake District. Paul was found and brought to safety by a mountain rescue team. This was the trigger for him to transform his life, first by joining his local team, then by finding Scout, his very own Border collie puppy, and training him to become a mountain rescue search dog.
    In The Search, Paul writes with humour and honesty as we follow him and Scout through their complex training, with searches and rescue incidents sometimes tragic and often funny. Paul's demons and headstrong characters threaten to derail them, until his past finally catches up with him and his life inescapably unravels. It's up to Scout to keep an eye on him now as Paul tries to build the best life he can.

    Physics - A Very Short Introduction

    Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Understanding the physics of our universe is an essential aspect of humanity's quest to understand our environment and our place within it. Doing physics enables us to explore the interaction between environment and human society, and can help us to work towards the future sustainability of the planet. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of how this pervasive science came to be and how it works: who funds it, how physicists are trained and how they think, and how physics supports the technology we all use. Sidney Perkowitz presents the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics from ideas of the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, cosmology, digital electronics, and energy production. Considering its most consequential experiments, including recent results in elementary particles, gravitational waves and materials science, he also discusses outside the lab, the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe.
