EDS (Electrodynamic Suspension)
Electrodynamic Suspension (EDS) is a technology used in high-speed trains, particularly maglev (magnetic levitation) trains. It works by using powerful electromagnets to create a magnetic field that lifts the train off the tracks, eliminating friction between the train and the ground. This allows for faster speeds and a smoother ride. The train is stabilized in its position by the magnetic forces, allowing it to glide effortlessly along the tracks. EDS is advantageous because it enhances energy efficiency and reduces wear and tear compared to traditional rail systems.
