Download or read book Magnetic Levitation written by Hyung-Suk Han and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2008-09-22 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,3, Vrije University Brussel (Solvay Business School), course: Advanced Technology, language: English, abstract: The magnetic levitation train analysed in this study was developed in Germany by the Transrapid International GmbH & Co. KG, a joint venture by Siemens AG and ThyssenKrupp AG, as a means for high speed transportation. First prototypes were presented to the public as early as 1969 and 1979, yet, the first public high-speed maglev track was opened only four years ago in Shanghai, China. Despite the fact that businesspeople like engineers from all sorts of backgrounds speak very highly of the technology, the Shanghai track remains the only commercially operated one thus far.1 Purpose of this paper is to analyse the potential of the maglev train, to assess its strengths and weaknesses, and to spot opportunities as well as threats to the application of this state-of-the-art - or perhaps ahead-of-its-time - technology.

This book was released on with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast landscape of transportation innovation, few concepts capture the imagination quite like magnetic levitated trains, or maglev trains. Since their inception, these marvels of engineering have promised to revolutionize the way we move, offering the tantalizing prospect of high-speed travel with minimal friction and noise. As the world grapples with the challenges of congestion, pollution, and the need for efficient, sustainable transportation, the allure of maglev technology only grows stronger. In this book, we embark on a journey through the fascinating realm of magnetic levitated trains, exploring their history, development, and potential impact on society. From their humble beginnings as experimental prototypes to their emergence as viable transportation solutions in various parts of the world, maglev trains represent the pinnacle of innovation and ingenuity. Through a blend of historical analysis, technical insight, and future projections, we seek to unravel the mysteries behind these sleek, futuristic vehicles. What are the underlying principles that allow maglev trains to defy gravity and glide effortlessly along their tracks? How do they compare to traditional rail systems in terms of speed, efficiency, and environmental sustainability? And perhaps most importantly, what role will they play in shaping the cities and societies of tomorrow? But this book is more than just a technical exploration. It is also a celebration of human creativity and ambition, showcasing the collaborative efforts of engineers, scientists, and visionaries from around the globe who have dedicated themselves to pushing the boundaries of what is possible. It is a testament to the power of innovation to transcend borders and transform lives, offering hope for a future where transportation is not just a means of getting from point A to point B, but a catalyst for progress and prosperity. As we delve into the world of magnetic levitated trains, may we be inspired by the spirit of exploration and discovery that drives us ever forward, towards new horizons and grander dreams. For in the realm of transportation, as in all aspects of human endeavor, the only limit is our imagination.

This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railway transportation has become one of the main technological advances of our society. Since the first railway used to carry coal from a mine in Shropshire (England, 1600), a lot of efforts have been made to improve this transportation concept. One of its milestones was the invention and development of the steam locomotive, but commercial rail travels became practical two hundred years later. From these first attempts, railway infrastructures, signalling and security have evolved and become more complex than those performed in its earlier stages. This book will provide readers a comprehensive technical guide, covering these topics and presenting a brief overview of selected railway systems in the world. The objective of the book is to serve as a valuable reference for students, educators, scientists, faculty members, researchers, and engineers.
