The core concepts, operating principles\nand main challenges of Maglev applications attempted across various fields are\nintroduced and discussed. The principle difficulties encountered when applying\nMaglev technology to different systems, namely air gap control and\nstabilization, are addressed in detail.   The book describes how\nmajor advancements in linear motor and magnet  technologies have enabled\nthe development of the linear-motor-powered Maglev train, which has a high\nspeed advantage over conventional wheeled trains and has the potential to reach\nspeed levels achieved by aircraft.   However, many expect that Maglev\ntechnology to be a green technology that is applied not only in rail transportation,\nbut also in diverse other fields; to ensure clean transfer in LCD\nmanufacturing, in ropeless high speed elevators, small capacity rail\ntransportation, space vehicle launchers, missile testers, energy storage, and\nso on. These potential applications and their unique challenges and proposed\ntechnological solutions are introduced and discussed in depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will provide readers from academia, research institutes and\nindustry with insights on where and how to apply Maglev technology, and will\nserve as a guide to the realization of their Maglev applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-02-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401775229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-7524-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 247\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149226348684,"sku":"9789401775229","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401775229.jpg?v=1779573349","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401775229","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
