The most interesting feature of Magnetic Levitation (Maglev) technology is its ability to between a vehicle and its track , effectively removing friction—the primary barrier to high-speed land travel. Core Technological Features
: By using magnetic attraction or repulsion, Maglev trains "float" above a guideway. This lack of contact allows them to reach speeds exceeding 600 km/h (373 mph), nearly twice as fast as conventional high-speed rail.
: In many systems, the further a vehicle moves from its centered position, the stronger the magnetic force becomes to push it back into place. This "magnetic cushion" makes derailment virtually impossible.
