  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 other, …

  3. 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 poles face each …

  4. 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. This eliminates …
