- Spin stabilized magnetic levitation - Spin stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon originally discovered through invention by Vermont inventor Roy M. Harrigan in the late 1970's.
- Magnetic bearing - A magnetic bearing is a bearing which supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving machinery without physical contact, for example, they can levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion without friction or wear.
- M-Bahn - The M-Bahn or Magnetbahn was an experimental local transport train built in the 1980s in Berlin. Like the Transrapid and other magnetic levitation trains, it used a long stator linear motor for propulsion; however, only 85% of the vehicle's weight was supported by magnetic levitation with the balance being supported by wheels.
- Inductrack - Inductrack is a completely passive, fail-safe magnetic levitation system, using only unpowered loops of wire in the track and permanent magnets (arranged into Halbach arrays) on the vehicle to achieve magnetic levitation. The track can be in one of two configurations, a "ladder track" and a "laminated track".
