Magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology
Magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology uses powerful magnets to lift and propel trains without physical contact with tracks. By creating magnetic forces that repel or attract, Maglev trains float above the rails, reducing friction and allowing for smoother, faster, and more energy-efficient travel. The system typically relies on electromagnetic suspension (EMS) or electrodynamic suspension (EDS) to maintain stability and precise positioning. This technology results in quieter operation and less wear and tear on components, enabling higher speeds and improved reliability compared to traditional trains.
