In Maglev Trains

Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) in Maglev trains is a system whereby a powered electromagnet maintains a train at a constant distance from a track. It is distinguished from electrodynamic suspension (EDS). Transrapid at the Emsland test facility Transrapid maglev in Shanghai Magnetic levitation transport, or maglev, is a radically new form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles via electro-magnetic energy. ... An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by a flow of electric current. ... Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, composed of the electric field and the magnetic field. ...

In Automobiles

Electromagnetic Suspension is currently under development for cars and other uses by RSQ Automotive Technologies in the UK. Electromagnetic suspension works where two or more electromagnets of the same polarity absorb all the bumps and vibrations from the road. The electromagnetic suspension can also be used under the seats of business mans cars for a almost senseless drive. Tne technology is soon to be fully designed and prototyped for use in vehicles like Maybachs, Rolls Royces and Bentleys. The main problem is making the magnets strong enough when running off a car's electrical system.
