Magnetic levitation, or maglev, is a method by which an object is suspended in the air without any support other than magnetic fields. The magnetic forces used to counteract the effects of gravitational and any other accelerations. Magnetic floatation, on the other hand, specifically refers to the use of magnetic forces to levitate objects above a liquid or solid surface without solid mechanical support. These technologies harness the principles of electromagnetism to achieve what was once deemed impossible—levitating mass in stable equilibrium. Maglev technology finds its utility in various sectors, fundamentally altering how processes are approached by eliminating the need for physical contact or traditional propulsion systems.
