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 …

1 day 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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …
