Maglev stands for Magnetic Levitation (primarily used in trains) it refers to how they use the repulsion of electromagets to "fly" from 1cm - 10cm above an electromagnetic track (guideway) the applications are mainly for highspeed transport because as there is no friction, these trains have a record speed of 518km/h (311mph).
