Yes
Yes, the futuristic train has no wheels. They use magnets for movement ect
A maglev train has no wheels
Is there a kind of train that has no wheels?
It is going backwards
It has no ceiling
No wheels
That it looks very futuristic and has no wheels
It is purple
The train has no wheels
It has no wheels
What do you observe about the train in Figure 1.11?
Some magnets hold the train up and other magnets are used to move the train forward
They push against gravity
They give off waves of energy
They repel against the metal track
Levitating
The magnets hold up the train and help to levitate the train above the tracks
How do magnets work to keep a maglev train moving?
The train has no conductor
No wheels
The  train has no wheels. It uses magnets to levitate above the tracks
The train flies
The train has no ceiling
The train has no wheels
It has no wheels
What looks different about this futuristic train?
It actually floats, or levitates, just above the track with magnets
Magnets enable the train to levitate or float
Floats
It has air pressure holding it up
It is pulled by wind
It has wings
It uses magnets to levitates above the train tracks
How does the train work without wheels?
The train has no conductor
Magnets
The train goes backwards
The train uses magnets to move
Figure 1.11 is a futuristic looking train, with no wheels that leviates above a track
The train is like a helicopter

What holds the train up and moves it forward?
No
Yes. Maglev Trains are able to travel at high speeds of up to 300 miles per hour
Yes
Maglev trains are very fast and can attain speeds up to 300 miles per hour
Yes. It can go fast
Are maglev trains able to travel at high speed?
Take a look at this train in Figure 1.11. It looks very futuristic. What do you notice about it? Did you notice that the train has no wheels? How can a train have no wheels? It doesn't need wheels. It actually floats, or levitates, just above the track. Magnets enable the train to do this. This is not a normal train. This is a maglev train. The word maglev stands for magnetic levitation. Because it has no wheels, there is no friction. Some magnets hold the train up. Other magnets are used to move the train forward. This train can go very fast. It can reach speeds up to 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour! Magnets are pretty cool. What exactly is a magnet? How is it able to exert such force?
