'''Maglev''' (short for [[magnet]]ic levitation) is a unique classification of [[train]]s whose rolling stock utilizes [[electromagnet]]s that levitate the train as opposed to having wheels that roll on rails. This eliminates [[rolling resistance]], which enables the trains to reach speeds of up to 603 km/h, a figure that set a new speed record for trains. This was accomplished by an [[L0 Series]] train in [[Japan]]. One of the more familiar maglev systems is in [[Shanghai]], [[China]], where trains shuttle passengers from the city centre to the airport.

The concept of maglev isn't really a new concept; even [[Robert H. Goddard]], the guy who made the first [[liquid]]-powered [[rocket]], conceived of magnetically propelled frictionless trains.
