Title: High temperature superconducting magnetic levitation train
Abstract: With the improvement in both materials and processing techniques, very large-grained YBa2Cu3O7 samples with overall dimension of 4×12×12 mm3 were produced. Each sample was capable of levitating over a kilogram in weight. A high temperature superconducting magnetic-suspension (levitation) train prototype was constructed using the YBa2Cu3O7 samples, to validate the concept of using an HTS Meissner effect magnetic suspension system. Measurements on important magnetic suspension parameters, such as relative suspension stability and suspension force, as well as magnetic field intensity and distribution are reported and discussed.
