Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance. [1][2][3]

Dec 17, 2025 · A maglev is a floating vehicle for land transportation that is supported by either electromagnetic attraction or repulsion. Maglevs use magnetic forces—like poles repel each …

5 days ago · Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) technology represents a revolutionary leap in transportation by enabling vehicles—primarily trains—to float above tracks using magnetic …

Jun 14, 2016 · In Maglev, superconducting magnets suspend a train car above a U-shaped concrete guideway. Like ordinary magnets, these magnets repel one another when matching …

Transportation systems employing some form of magnetic levitation are known as maglevs and consist of vehicles moving along dedicated guideways.

In the 21st century there are a few countries using powerful electromagnets to develop high-speed trains, called maglev trains. These trains float over guideways using the basic principles …

Dec 27, 2025 · The maglev train was tested on a 400 metre (1,310-foot) magnetic levitation (maglev) test line, and safely brought to a stop afterwards. China has set a world record in …
