To actually build one is pretty hard but in essence it uses two magnets facing each other, but they are on opposite poles (North on South/South on North) so thus, they repel each other, making the train levitate. That's where the name comes from- Mag (magnet) lev (levitate).
It costs approx 5.9 million euro to build a TGV.
