Abstract: Magnetic Levitation is a technology that has been experimented with intensely over the past couple decades. It wasn’t until the last ten years when scientists began to develop systems that would use magnetic levitation as a means of transport. This paper outlines the methods behind magnetic levitation, as well as the technologies implemented using the levitation. The implementation of a large-scale transportation system using magnetic levitation has huge social as well as economical effects. Magnetic levitation, maglev or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. The electromagnetic force is used to counteract the effects of gravitational and any other acceleration. The physics behind it is to simply provide a magnetic force which must be equal and opposite of the gravitational force on the object. The two forces cancel and the object remains suspended. The two primary issues involved in magnetic levitation are lifting forces and stability. In this model, polarities are varied using arduino, which is interfaced with IOT. Magnetic levitation is used for maglev trains, contactless melting, and magnetic bearings and for product display purposes
