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 other, …

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 …

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 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.

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

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

Dec 5, 2015 · Maglev trains are high-speed trains that use principles of electromagnetism as well as electromagnetic propulsion to run.

20 hours ago · Feat seen to catapult China into global top tier of ultra-high-speed maglev technology and unlock new possibilities for hyperloop transport.

Aug 3, 2025 · Maglev technology has been developed in Japan since 2002 and testing has also taken place in China where one line achieved speeds of over 620 miles per hour, faster than many …
