Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) Theory

Magnetic levitation, or Maglev, is a technology that uses powerful magnets to lift and propel objects, typically trains, above a track. By utilizing the repulsive and attractive forces of magnets, Maglev trains float above the rails, eliminating friction and allowing for smooth, fast travel. This levitation minimizes wear and tear on tracks and enables trains to reach higher speeds with greater energy efficiency. The fundamental principle relies on electromagnetic forces, making it a modern alternative to traditional rail systems, enhancing both speed and comfort in transportation.
