Application of Magnetic Levitation Technology in Personal Transportation Vehicles

Hamid Yaghoubi, I. Int Roduction

Abstract

The name maglev is derived from MAGnetic LEVitation. Magnetic levitation is a highly advanced technology. It has various uses including maglev cars. The common point in all maglev applications is the lack of contact and thus no wear and friction. This increases efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and increase the useful life of the system. The magnetic levitation technology can be used as an efficient technology in the automotive engineering. There are already many countries that are attracted to maglev systems. Many systems have been proposed in different parts of the worlds. Maglev can be con veniently considered as a solution for the future needs of the transportation engineering. This research chapter tries to study the uses of magnetic levitation technology in personal transportation vehicles.
