Meaning
High-speed rail technology; train is suspended on a magnetic cushion above a magnetized track and so travels free of friction.
Classification
Nouns denoting acts or actions.
Examples
- The European Union has funded various research projects focused on magnetic levitation to enhance the efficiency of high-speed rail travel.
- Magnetic levitation technology allows trains to travel at extremely high speeds by reducing friction between the train and the tracks.
- High-speed trains using magnetic levitation technology have achieved speeds of over 400 km/h in test runs.
- Several countries have invested in developing magnetic levitation transportation systems that can travel efficiently at over 500 km/h.
- The Shanghai Maglev Train in China is one of the world's first commercial trains to use magnetic levitation technology to transport passengers.
