Japan Introduces Magnetic Levitation Car Technology
WEBAug 22, 2024 · Magnetic levitation, often referred to as maglev, is a technology that allows an object to float above a surface without any physical contact, using magnetic fields to counteract gravitational forces. In the context of Japan’s new automotive innovation, this technology allows cars to hover a few centimeters above specially designed tracks.

WEBApr 13, 2022 · In Maglev, superconducting magnets suspend a train car above a U-shaped concrete guideway. Like ordinary magnets, these magnets repel one another when matching poles face each other. “A Maglev train car is just a box with magnets on the four corners,” says Jesse Powell, the son of the Maglev inventor, who now works with his father.
