Maglev technology, short for magnetic levitation, is a transportation method that uses powerful magnets to lift and propel vehicles, such as trains, above a track. This eliminates friction, allowing for smoother and faster travel compared to traditional rail systems. The key components of maglev systems include superconducting magnets and electromagnetic coils, which create a magnetic field that lifts the train. As a result, maglev trains can reach high speeds, making them an efficient option for long-distance travel and urban transit, with reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.
