  2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces.

  3. Maglev - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev

    Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in Lower Saxony, Germany A full trip on the Shanghai Transrapid maglev train Example of low-speed urban maglev system, Linimo. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.

  4. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

    Magnetic levitation technology is important because it reduces energy consumption, largely reduces friction. It also avoids wear and has very low maintenance requirements. The application of magnetic levitation is most commonly known for its role in maglev trains.

  5. Mass driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_driver

    On Earth, a mass-driver design could possibly use well-tested maglev components. To launch a space vehicle with humans on board, a mass driver's track would need to be almost 1000 kilometres long if providing almost all the velocity to Low Earth Orbit , though a lesser length could still provide major launch assist.

    The institute maintains a website filled with data, charts, maps, photos and videos of several types of maglev technology being developed around the world. [6] NAMTI resources are used by transportation planners , engineering firms, and governments around the world considering new maglev transport projects.

    California-Nevada Interstate Maglev High-speed maglev lines between major cities of southern California and Las Vegas are also being studied via the California-Nevada Interstate Maglev Project. This plan was originally supposed to be part of an I-5 or I-15 expansion plan, but the federal government has ruled it must be separated from interstate ...

  9. National Maglev Initiative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maglev_Initiative

    The National Maglev Initiative (NMI) was a research program undertaken in the early 1990s by the United States Department of Transportation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Energy, and other agencies which studied magnetically levitated, or "maglev", train technology, operating at speeds around 300 miles per hour (480 km/h).
