CHARACTERISTICS OF A MAGLEV VEHICLE RUNNING ON ALUMINIUM SHEET GUIDEWAYS

Studies on the running characteristics of superconducting magnetic suspension, guidance and linear synchronous motor (LSM) systems for high-speed trains on aluminium sheet tracks are reported, comparing the theoretical results with experimental results obtained by a running test vehicle. The test vehicle can be suspended and guided magnetically, and driven by LSM with no contact.
