Electrodynamic Suspension

Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) uses magnetic forces and electricity to levitate and propel vehicles, such as maglev trains. When a superconductor or a conductor moves through a magnetic field, it generates electrical currents that create their own magnetic fields. These opposing fields produce a repulsive force that lifts the vehicle off the track, eliminating contact and reducing friction. EDS systems often require onboard or track-based superconductors and powerful electromagnets, enabling high speeds and smooth, quiet operation. This technology combines electromagnetic principles to achieve efficient, contactless transportation with minimal maintenance.
