Facts on Maglev Train

In the five-years series, they tested you on the Maglev Train. So, here is the info about it!
Maglev Train

Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a method of propulsion that uses magnetic levitation to propel vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings.Their non-reliance on friction means that acceleration and deceleration can surpass that of wheeled transports, and they are unaffected by weather.If you've ever played with magnets, you know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other. This is the basic principle behind electromagnetic propulsion. Electromagnets are similar to other magnets in that they attract metal objects, but the magnetic pull is temporary.
