Maglev ground transportation with high-temperature superconductors (HTS)

Last updated on 10 March 2020 12:48

Today's magnetic levitation (Maglev) trains are based on magnetic fields from of 0.5 to about 5 Tesla, provided either by conventional high-current electromagnets above a metal guideway or beyond 2 Tesla by superconductors, moving and generating eddy currents. The Transrapid electromagnetic system (EMS) and the Chuo Shinkansen electrodynamic system (EDS)...
