Okay, so how do maglev trains ACTUALLY work? 🤨🚊 Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains work by using powerful magnets to lift the train above a guideway, eliminating friction, and propelling it forward with magnetic fields, allowing for extremely high speeds. There are two main types: Electromagnetic Suspension (EMS), which uses attraction (like Shanghai's train), and Electrodynamic Suspension (EDS), which uses repulsion (like Japan's system)! #science #physics #engineering #technology #tech | Le

China Tests Future Maglev Train at Record Speed. #China #MaglevTrain #ChinaNews | The MES Times

Blink and you'll miss it. Japan’s state-of-the-art maglev train has set a world speed record in a test run near Mount Fuji, clocking more than 600km/h (373mph). The maglev, short for “magnetic levitation”, hovers 10cm (four inches) above the tracks and is propelled by electrically charged magnets. http://gu.com/p/47y3y/fb | The Guardian
