2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

   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]

3. Levitation (physics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitation_(physics)

   a high-temperature superconductor levitating above magnet. Magnetic levitation is the most commonly seen and used form of levitation. This form of levitation occurs when an object is suspended using magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are commonly used for demonstration purposes.

4. Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-stabilized_magnetic...

   Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation whereby a spinning magnet or array of magnets (typically as a top) is levitated via magnetic forces above another magnet or array of magnets, and stabilised by gyroscopic effect due to a spin rate that is neither too fast, nor too slow to allow for a necessary precession.

5. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

   Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by constantly altering the strength of a magnetic field produced by electromagnets using a feedback loop. In most cases the levitation effect is mostly due to permanent magnets as they have no power dissipation, with electromagnets only used to stabilise the effect.

6. Magnetic bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_bearing

   A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical wear. Magnetic bearings support the highest speeds of any kind of ...

7. 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.

8. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

   Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) is a form of magnetic levitation in which there are conductors which are exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. This induces eddy currents in the conductors that creates a repulsive magnetic field which holds the two objects apart. These time-varying magnetic fields can be caused by relative motion between two ...

9. Inductrack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductrack

   Inductrack is a passive, fail-safe electrodynamic magnetic levitation system, using only unpowered loops of wire in the track and permanent magnets (arranged into Halbach arrays) on the vehicle to achieve magnetic levitation. The track can be in one of two configurations, a "ladder track" and a "laminated track".
