Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. 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. [2]
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.
Old Dominion University maglev: In 1999, Old Dominion University agreed to work with American Maglev of Atlanta to construct an on-campus student transportation link of less than 1-mile (1.6 km) — using a smart train / dumb track design in which most sensors, magnets, and computation were located on the train rather than the track.

China's Red Rail is said to be the world's first suspended maglev, or magnetic levitation, train, allowing it to float through the air untethered.
A bullet train which ‘floats’ above the tracks using magnetic levitation could soon hit 373mph in China New Chinese magnetic levitation train ‘is faster than going by plane’ [Video] Skip ...
The Super Bullet Maglev is an experimental Chinese high-speed maglev train, with a maximum designed speed of 620 km/h. [1] Built by the Bavarian construction company Bögl together with a local Chinese partner, the prototype was unveiled on January 13, 2021, at a test track in Chengdu, Sichuan.
L0 Series maglev train at Yamanashi test track. The SCMaglev (superconducting maglev, formerly called the MLU) is a magnetic levitation railway system developed by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and the Railway Technical Research Institute.
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).
