Abstract

The name maglev is derived from magnetic levitation. Magnetic levitation is a highly advanced technology. It has various uses. The common point in all applications is the lack of contact and thus no wear and friction. This increases efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and increases the useful life of the system. The magnetic levitation technology can be used as an efficient technology in the various industries. It's a technology that has been experimented with intensely over the past couple decades. This paper tries to study the most important principle uses and application of magnetic levitation technology and the development of magnetic levitation vehicles in Germany, Japan, and the United States.
