Bibliography Bibliography There is no claim that any section of this bibliography is complete. All that can be said is that an honest attempt has been made to list most of the major papers in the various topics up to the end of 197 5. There are problems whenever one attempts to cover such a vast field as this. Would the reader prefer an alphabetical list of authors?-or an alphabetical list of subjects? How should the topic be subdivided to make reference easier? As soon as subdivision is made there are sure to be papers that overlap more than one section. There will also be papers that do not really 'fit' any one subdivision, so there is almost bound to be a 'General' section, which many classifiers condemn as a mark of failure. An attempt has been made not to duplicate a paper in two or more sections but to decide, on balance, which is the more relevant section. The main overlap occurs, of course, between 'Transport' and 'Levitation', and readers are warned to check carefully that an apparently 'missing' paper is not in the other section. The order of presentation is fairly arbitrary. 'General' could equally well have come last. The other problems as to the order of listing were finally solved by declaring: 'This is a history book, the papers shall be listed in order of year of publication'. In that way, the order at least makes a vague attempt to follow the text. The only thing that is claimed is that this is probably the most comprehensive list of publications to date on the subject of linear motors and allied topics.

  • Maglev (Transport) 1 Maglev (Transport)
    Maglev (transport) 1 Maglev (transport) Maglev, or magnetic levitation, is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The power needed for levitation is usually not a particularly large percentage of the overall consumption; most of the power used is needed to overcome air drag, as with any other high speed train. The highest recorded speed of a Maglev train is 581 kilometres per JR-Maglev at Yamanashi, Japan test track in hour (361 mph), achieved in Japan in 2003, 6 kilometres per hour November, 2005. 581 km/h. Guinness World (3.7 mph) faster than the conventional TGV speed record. Records authorization. The first commercial Maglev "people-mover" was officially opened in 1984 in Birmingham, England. It operated on an elevated 600-metre (2000 ft) section of monorail track between Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station, running at speeds up to 42 km/h (26 mph); the system was eventually closed in 1995 due to reliability and design problems. Perhaps the most well known implementation of high-speed maglev technology currently operating commercially is the IOS (initial operating segment) demonstration line of the German-built Transrapid Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in train in Shanghai, China that transports people 30 km (18.6 miles) to Germany the airport in just 7 minutes 20 seconds, achieving a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph), averaging 250 km/h (160 mph).
