This book provides a comprehensive overview of magnetic levitation
(Maglev) technologies, from fundamental principles through to the
state-of-the-art, and describes applications both realised and
under development. It includes a history of Maglev science and
technology showing the various milestones in its advancement. The
core concepts, operating principles and main challenges of Maglev
applications attempted across various fields are introduced and
discussed. The principle difficulties encountered when applying
Maglev technology to different systems, namely air gap control and
stabilization, are addressed in detail. The book describes how
major advancements in linear motor and magnet technologies have
enabled the development of the linear-motor-powered Maglev train,
which has a high speed advantage over conventional wheeled trains
and has the potential to reach speed levels achieved by aircraft.
However, many expect that Maglev technology to be a green
technology that is applied not only in rail transportation, but
also in diverse other fields; to ensure clean transfer in LCD
manufacturing, in ropeless high speed elevators, small capacity
rail transportation, space vehicle launchers, missile testers,
energy storage, and so on. These potential applications and their
unique challenges and proposed technological solutions are
introduced and discussed in depth. The book will provide readers
from academia, research institutes and industry with insights on
where and how to apply Maglev technology, and will serve as a guide
to the realization of their Maglev applications.
