Magnetic Levitation Train (or Maglev Train) a high-speed ground
transportation vehicle levitated above a track and
propelled by magnetic fields. Magnetic levitation train
technology can be done by attraction of electromagnets to a
laminated iron rail from underneath or by repusion of coils
in the guideway against superconducting magnets in the train.
There are high-speed experimental systems up to 500 km/h and
a short-distance maglev shuttle has
been operating since 1984 between the Birmingham, England, airport and the
city train station at less than 100 km/h.
