This paper examines the prospects for the future of maglev technology in general. Future applications will depend on a variety of factors including the extent to which Transrapid or other maglev technologies can be proven superior to its competitors technically, environmentally, and economically. This paper will address the extent to which the potentially beneficial attributes of maglev technol...

Maglev is Google’s network load balancer. It is a large distributed software system that runs on commodity Linux servers. Unlike traditional hardware network load balancers, it does not require a specialized physical rack deployment, and its capacity can be easily adjusted by adding or removing servers. Network routers distribute packets evenly to the Maglev machines via Equal Cost Multipath (E...

As a special load in the power system, high-speed Maglev has an obvious impact on the power system. The effect of Maglev on the node voltage is studied and a new model is presented. Compared with traditional models, this model can be used to analyze the effect of Maglev on voltage more accurately. This paper will further the study about the Maglev impact on the power system..

This paper addresses real-time adaptive Phase-lead controller for maglev systems using digital signal processors (DSP). With an adaptive phase-lead controller, the DSP automatically updates the controller parameters to achieve the desired system output. The controller is applied to maglev systems. Different adaptation rates were tested. Test results show that controller parameters converged to ...

This paper describes a method for determining the density of contact trace objects with magnetic levitation (MagLev). MagLev measurements accurately determine the density (± 0.0002 g/cm(3) ) of a diamagnetic object and are compatible with objects that are nonuniform in shape and size. The MagLev device (composed of two permanent magnets with like poles facing) and the method described provide a...

This paper deals with the present scenario of magnetic levitation with LIM. The magnetically levitated train has no wheels, but floats-or surfs-on an electromagnetic wave, enabling rides at 330 miles per hour. By employing no wheels, maglev eliminates the friction, and concomitant heat, associated with conventional wheel-on-rail train configurations. There are two basic types of non-contact Mag...

High speed maglev is one of the most important reformations in the ground transportation systems because of its no physical contact nature. This paper intends to study the dynamic response of the single-span guideway induced by moving maglev train. The dynamic model of the maglev train-guideway system is established. In this model, a maglev train consists of three vehicles and each vehicle is r...

magnetic levitation (maglev) is amongst the most advanced technologies that are available to the transportation industries. it has already been noticed by decision makers in many countries around the globe. contrary to such high levels of interest, there are no practical algorithms available to the engineers and/or managers to assist them in analyzing economics of the maglev systems. therefore,...

An electromagnetic levitation controller design considering guideway deflection is presented. Even though to design a maglev controller to make a vehicle steady suspension under guideway deflection is a key technology in maglev vehicle system, the vehicle-guideway interaction effects haven’t well explored and yet settled. Unlike most approaches based on the linear model, a maglev controller is ...

This work describes the development of magnetic levitation (MagLev) to characterize the kinetics of free-radical polymerization of water-insoluble, low-molecular-weight monomers that show a large change in density upon polymerization. Maglev measures density, and certain classes of monomers show a large change in density when monomers covalently join in polymer chains. MagLev characterized both...
