Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended in the air with no support other than magnetic fields. The fields are used to reverse or counteract the gravitational pull and any other counter accelerations. Maglev can create frictionless, efficient, far-out-sounding technologies.

How does levitation technology work?

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.

What is levitation method?

Levitation (from Latin levitas "lightness") is the process by which an object is held aloft, without mechanical support, in a stable position. ... Levitation excludes hovering flight by insects, hummingbirds, helicopters, rockets, and balloons because the object provides its own counter-gravity force.
