112 Ë 4 Superconducting magnetic levitation
Fig. 4.18:Design diagram of the super-high-speed HTS Maglev train.
Figure 4.18 shows the design diagram of the quasi-all-superconducting HTS Maglev
train with ultra-high speed (no EET in Fig. 4.18). This project includes HTS Maglev
vehicle [13], HTS Maglev bearing [108], HTS Maglev FESS [109, 110], and HTS linear
motors [111] for vehicle propulsion. The quasi-all-superconducting HTS Maglev system
[112] is fit not only for ultra-high-speed Maglev train but also for a HTS Maglev
launch system. The speed of the quasi-all-superconducting HTS Maglev launch sys-
tem is designed for 3000 km/h, or 1 km/s. Future HTS Maglev trains will be com-
bined with HTS linear motor [113] and the HTS cable [114, 115] to give a full HTS
system.
