Magnetic Levitation: How Trains Float Above Tracks

Magnetic levitation, or maglev, lets trains float above rails without wheels.
Strong magnets create lift by repelling or attracting each other.
With no friction from wheels, maglev trains can reach over 370 mph (600 km/h).
Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) uses magnets under the train to pull it up.
Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) uses superconducting magnets to push it away.
Maglev technology reduces noise and wear compared to traditional trains.
Japan’s SCMaglev holds speed records with superconducting maglev systems.
Maglev requires precise control systems to keep trains stable in motion.
Energy efficiency improves since there’s less mechanical resistance.
Maglev could redefine future transportation with ultra-fast, smooth travel.
