How it Works

Magnetic poles interact through invisible magnetic fields. Like poles repel while opposite poles attract, creating forces that can cause levitation.

Applications

This principle is used in maglev trains, magnetic bearings, and various industrial applications where contactless suspension is needed.

Fun Facts

The Earth itself is a giant magnet! Its magnetic field protects us from solar radiation and helps with navigation.
