REPULSIVE LEVITATION AND PROPULSION

A magnetic-levitation vehicle to which linear synchronous motor and repulsive levitation are applied is described. The vehicle is equipped with superconductive magnets to obtain high flux density in the clearance gaps between body and guideway for high levitation and lateral clearance and for good efficiency. The principles and concepts, as well as the laboratory progress, are described.
