magnetic levitation
Hovering via magnetism
Magnetic levitation is suspension of an object using magnetic fields to counteract gravity, allowing it to float without physical contact.
The technology appears in high-speed trains (maglev trains), frictionless bearings, and laboratory demonstrations.
Often shortened to maglev: The maglev reached 375 miles per hour.
