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.
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.
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.
There are plenty of reasons to look forward to spring. I, for one, am especially excited to celebrate warm-weather holidays like Easter, Mother’s Day and Cinco de Mayo (street-style tacos, FTW!).

' Shanghai Maglev Demonstration Operation Line ') is a magnetic levitation train (maglev) line that operates in Shanghai, China. The line uses the German Transrapid technology. [ 2 ] The Shanghai maglev is the world's first commercial high-speed maglev and has a maximum cruising speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). [ 3 ]
Eric Roberts Laithwaite (14 June 1921 – 27 November 1997) was an English electrical engineer, known as the "Father of Maglev" [1] for his development of the linear induction motor and maglev rail system after Hermann Kemper.
