Maglev trains are advanced trains that float above tracks using electromagnets, allowing them to reach speeds of 500 km/h, nearly twice as fast as other high-speed trains. Electromagnets, which are only magnetic when electricity flows through them, are crucial to the operation of maglev trains. These magnets lift the train above the track, eliminating friction and enabling smooth, fast travel. As the train completes its journey, the electricity is turned off, and the train rests on the track. Maglev trains are seen as the future of train travel due to their speed, quiet operation, and environmental benefits.
