TL;DR: In this article, the second-generation HTS Maglev vehicle system is highlighted by the cost-performance and the wireless multiparameter onboard monitoring function, which can display parameters of levitation weight, levitation height, running speed, acceleration, lateral offset, online position, and total running distance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the first proof-of-principle prototype of a 45m-long high-temperature superconducting Maglev evacuated tube transport (HTS Maglev-ETT) test system, called the “Super-Maglev,” based on the passive self-stable HTS MAGLEVER conceived in our group in 2000.

TL;DR: In order to design high temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev launch system, three NdFeB permanent magnetic guideways (PMGs) are investigated and compared for the better levitation forces and guidance forces.

TL;DR: In this article, a Halbach permanent magnetic guideway (PMG) is proposed to improve the levitation performance of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic levitation (maglev) vehicle.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D model of the guideway was built up, through which the influence of the air gap across the guidway on the magnetic field was studied, and the numerical results indicated that the HTS-PMG system is optimum when the width ratio between PMG and HTS is between 1.005 and 1.105.
