How maglev trains work? Maglev Trains is One of the most modern transports. The maglev capable of travelling at speeds of over 400 km/h. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets.

Maglev is a type of high-speed transportation that uses magnetic forces to levitate above its track and move, eliminating the need for wheels or rails. It offers several advantages such as high speed, comfort, and improved efficiency compared to traditional transportation systems, as well as being environmentally friendly and safer. Maglev technology has been implemented in several countries such as Japan, China, and South Korea.

The two main types of maglev technology are :

✔ Electromagnetic suspension (EMS), electronically controlled electromagnets in the train attract it to a magnetically conductive (usually steel) track.

✔ Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) uses superconducting electromagnets or strong permanent magnets that create a magn
