How magnetic levitation lifts and propels high-speed maglev trains

Maglev trains use powerful magnetic fields to move above the track without wheels, eliminating rolling friction, enabling speeds of over 400 km/hr; however, the technology requires dedicated guideways with precision engineering, making construction and operation expensive
