Superconducting Levitation Superconductors expel magnetic field, and hence repel magnets. This repulsion can be stronger than gravity, which leads to levitation - the most fascinating manifestation of superconductivity. This web-page presents a few movies showing how the superconducting levitation works. AVI movie 280 Kb MPEG movie 330 Kb QuickTime movie 460 Kb. Movie 1: Levitation in action A superconductor is immersed in liquid nitrogen to provide cooling below the critical temperature. A magnet is placed in the air above the superconductor and left there levitating. Nothing but magnetic interaction keeps the magnet from falling down. AVI movie 420 Kb MPEG movie 360 Kb QuickTime movie 850 Kb. Movie 2: Finding a better levitating position The levitating magnet has a preferential position above the superconductor and returns there after a small perturbation by a human finger. When the magnet is pushed hard towards the superconductor, it changes the magnetic field distribution in the superconductor, and a new position becomes preferential.

64. Magnetic Levitation - Background magnetic levitation maglev is a transportation technology in which noncontacting vehicles travel at speeds of 300 miles-per-hour. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blrailroad3.htm

zJs=10 zJs=11 zJs=12 zJs=13 zc(5,'jsc',zJs,9999999,'') You are here: About Inventors Inventors Inventors ... Help Chapter 1: Background WHAT IS MAGLEV? Return Table of Contents Magnetic levitation (maglev) is a relatively new transportation technology in which noncontacting vehicles travel safely at speeds of 250 to 300 miles-per-hour or higher while suspended, guided, and propelled above a guideway by magnetic fields. The guideway is the physical structure along which maglev vehicles are levitated. Various guideway configurations, e.g., T-shaped, U-shaped, Y-shaped, and box-beam, made of steel, concrete, or aluminum, have been proposed. Figure 1 depicts the three primary functions basic to maglev technology: (1) levitation or suspension; (2) propulsion; and (3) guidance. In most current designs, magnetic forces are used to perform all three functions, although a nonmagnetic source of propulsion could be used. No consensus exists on an optimum design to perform each of the primary functions. Suspension Systems The two principal means of levitation are illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is an attractive force levitation system whereby electromagnets on the vehicle interact with and are attracted to ferromagnetic rails on the guideway. EMS was made practical by advances in electronic control systems that maintain the air gap between vehicle and guideway, thus preventing contact.

68. Magtube: Magnetic Levitation The vehicle magnet arrays extend for most of the length of the vehicle. With practical magnet dimensions, they can provide a levitation gap of three to http://www.magtube.com/index.php/technology/magnetic_levitation

Magtube: Freight transit for the 21st century Home The Problem The Solution Technology ... Propulsion Halbach Arrays The maglev suspension technology developed for the Magtube design makes use of high-strength neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets assembled in a configuration known as a Halbach array. A typical array of this type and its magnetic field are shown in the figure to the left. The Repulsor The active face of the vehicle array points downward, while the active face of the stationary track array points upward. The vehicle array is much larger in cross section than the track array to provide sufficient lift force while minimizing track costs. The Repulsor design produces in excess of three times the force of an equivalent mass of magnet material configured as simple dipoles of opposing polarity, and also confines the field to a much more localized area. The vertical and lateral forces produced by the Repulsor are illustrated below. With the vehicle and track arrays vertically aligned as shown in this figure, vertical force is maximized and lateral force is zero. As the lateral offset increases, the magnitude of the lateral force grows and tends to increase the offset even more, i.e. the Repulsor is laterally unstable. Stabilization To compensate for lateral instability, voice coil lateral stabilizers are mounted beneath the vehicle magnets to interact with the track magnets, resulting in the vehicle suspension shown in this illustration.

Liftoff Home Join Explorers Buzzwords electromagnetism induction Sites on this subject: Space Transportation Directorate at MSFC From Steam to Maglev by US Bureau of Land Mgt. Transrapid System by THYSSEN Maglev: Launching Rockets Using a Magnet October 25, 1999 Computer Model of a maglev launch Rockets of the future might be launched using a Magnetic Levitation (maglev) launch track similar to the test track recently built at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. A maglev system uses magnetic fields to levitate and accelerate a vehicle along a track. Similar systems are in use today as high-speed trains and some of the newer, radical-ride roller coasters. Maglev systems use high-strength electro-magnets to lift a vehicle a few inches above a track and then propel it forward with high acceleration. By using a meglev for launching, the spacecraft would be accelerated up to speeds of 600 mph (965 kph) without using any on-board fuel. When the spacecraft nears the end of the track, it could take off like an airplane and then switch to more conventional rocket engines to continue to orbit.

Using Magnetic Levitation In Wind Turbines July 27th, 2007 No Comments Today, I wrote a post for TreeHugger about a company that is proposing to build a colossal magnetic levitation wind turbine. Magnetic levitation (or maglev) is an interesting technology that has been around for a while. A series of German patents for magnetic levitation trains propelled by linear motors were awarded to Hermann Kemper between 1937 and 1941. Today maglev is being used in a number of ways, according to the MagLev Wind Turbine Technologies web site: Today MAGLEV trains operate in Germany, China and Japan. MAGLEV trains currently hold many land speed records and are most noted for energy efficiency, on time performance and low maintenance. MAGLEV systems are also used in sophisticated ship elevators, amusement park rides, aircraft carrier catapults and a variety of other conveyance applications. /blockquote> The big advantage in using maglev in wind turbines is that it reduces maintenance costs, and increases the lifespan of the generator. But there is very little information out there on how maglev is actually implemented in wind turbines. A post on
