Maglev - Wikipedia
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. [1][2][3]

2016年6月14日 · Maglev -- short for magnetic levitation -- trains can trace their roots to technology pioneered at Brookhaven National Laboratory. James Powell and Gordon Danby of Brookhaven received the first patent for a magnetically levitated train design in the late 1960s.
How Maglev Trains Work - HowStuffWorks
In the 21st century there are a few countries using powerful electromagnets to develop high-speed trains, called maglev trains. These trains float over guideways using the basic principles of magnets to replace the old steel wheel and track trains.

2024年12月21日 · At present maglev technology has produced trains that can travel in excess of 500 km (310 miles) per hour. This speed is twice as fast as a conventional commuter train and comparable to the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) in use in France, which travels between 300 and 320 km (186 and 199 miles) per hour.
Shanghai maglev train - Wikipedia
The Shanghai maglev train (SMT) or Shanghai Transrapid (Chinese : 上海磁浮示范运营线; pinyin : Shànghǎi Cífú Shìfàn Yùnyíng Xiàn; lit.'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 ] .
