An exploration of levitation that discusses the use of magnetic forces to overcome gravity and friction, examines its applications, and explains the science behind maglev transportation systems.
From Peter Pan to Harry Potter, from David Copperfield to levitating toys, there is magic in conquering gravity. In this first-ever popular introduction to "maglev"--The use of magnetic forces to overcome gravity and friction--James D. Livingston takes lay readers on a journey o…

In this work the authors draw upon their expertise in geophysical and astrophysical MHD to explore the motion of electrically conducting fluids, the so-called dynamo effect, and describe the similarities and differences between different magnetized objects. They also explain why…
