levitation gaps of 10 and 15 mm, respectively. Figure 6.60 shows the total levitation
forces of the eight on-board Maglev equipment assemblies. The total levitation forces
of these equipment assemblies yielded levitation forces of 10,431 and 8486 N at
levitation gaps of 10 and 15 mm, respectively.
All measurement results of each on-board HTS magnetic levitation equipment
had some differences. The reason may be ascribed to the different properties of each
YBCO bulk or 43 pieces of YBCO integration, the different thin-bottom liquid nitrogen
vessel, different degrees of accuracy in installing them on the measurement system
