Maglevs monorails that use the basic principle of magnets for their movement. Opposite poles of a magnet attract each other and like poles repel each other. In a Maglev, one magnet is placed in the guide rail and the other is placed at the bottom of the train. This placement is done in such a way that like poles lie next to each other. The like poles repel and raised the train above the guide rail. These trains can attain very high speeds of approximately 603 kilometre per hour. The advantage of using these trains is that here is practically no maintenance required. As the train floats over the guide rail, there is no friction coming into play. Thus, there is very less wear and tear of components and very little wheel noise.
