There is a new means of transportation that can completely change transportation of the 21st century the way aeroplanes did in the 20th century. Some countries are using very powerful  electromagnets  to produce very high-speed trains, known as Maglev  trains .  Maglev is shortened form for magnetic levitation meaning that these trains float on top a guideway employing the basic principles of magnetism to replace the archaic steel wheel and
