Magnetic levitation
Videos
Page
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.
Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used
