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]

Nov 11, 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 other, …

5 days ago · Germany’s federal railway authority has issued the European country’s first license for public magnetic levitation (maglev) train operation, in a major milestone for the nascent technology’s ...

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 poles face each …

Sep 3, 2025 · The Superconducting Maglev (SCMAGLEV) is the world’s fastest and most advanced train. It will revolutionize travel in the Northeast Corridor.

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 of magnets …

Jul 21, 2025 · Maglev (short for magnetic levitation) magnets are typically made of strong neodymium materials. They’re arranged to either repel or stabilize objects without physical contact, creating the …

Sep 15, 2025 · At its core, maglev relies on an elegant principle: magnetism. By harnessing powerful electromagnets, trains can be lifted and propelled without ever touching the track.

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