  1. Maglev - Wikipedia

    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]

  2. Maglev | Facts, Operation, & Systems | Britannica

    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 …

  3. Northeast Maglev - DC to NYC in One Hour

    Sep 3, 2025 · The Superconducting Maglev (SCMAGLEV) is the world’s fastest and most advanced train. A train in name only – unlike any train you’ve ever seen before. Imagine …

  4. How Maglev Works - Department of Energy

    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 …

  5. China’s Astonishing Maglev Train Is Faster Than Most Planes

    Jul 13, 2025 · Maglev technology uses opposing magnetic fields to lift the train off its track, which reduces friction and allows for smoother, quieter, and faster movement.

  6. Why maglev trains thrive in Asia while US and Europe lag behind

    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. …

  7. How Maglev Trains Work - HowStuffWorks

    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 …
