Maglev Technology and The Future Of Healthcare
 

Magnetic levitation — maglev, for short — sounds like something out of science fiction. But it's been a reality for a while now; you might have noticed it if you keep a keen eye on trains and transportation.

But maglev technology can do more than make the trains run on time. The possibilities for application go far beyond transportation. It could change lives — and it's already saving some.

WHAT IS MAGLEV?

You've heard the phrase "opposites attract." The inverse is what powers maglev technology.

When opposite poles of a magnet — a north pole and a south pole — are placed near each other, their electromagnetic forces pull the magnets together. But when poles of the same kind — two south poles, say — are placed near each other, they repel. Therefore, an object whose base made of magnets from one pole will effectively levitate above a surface made of magnets of the same polarity.

Maglev technology is highly advanced and has various applications, but it's most notable for its chief offering: because the moving object never touches the stationary one, wear and tear caused by friction is greatly reduced. Because there's less friction, maglev systems are much more efficient; this reduces maintenance costs and lengthens the lifespan of a system or machine.
