Magnets in the sides of the tracks constantly repel and attract magnets in the sides of the train.

Explanation: Coils in the guideway are energized in sequence to create a traveling magnetic field (a linear motor) that alternately attracts and repels the train’s magnets, producing forward thrust while the train is levitated.
