Abstract - The term “Levitation” refers to a class of
technologies that uses magnetic levitation to propel vehicles
with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings.
Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) uses magnetic
levitation to propel vehicles. With maglev, a vehicle is levitated
a short distance away from a “guide way” using magnets to
create both lift and thrust. High-speed maglev trains promise
dramatic improvements for human travel widespread
