Abstract :
A 1/25-scale Magneplane system with superconducting coils is described. The vehicle is 1 m long, has a 20-cm circular cross section, and weighs, without liquid helium, 14 kg. It is supported by inductive maglev at high speeds and propelled by a linear synchronous motor. The outdoor guideway with accelerating, cruising, and decelerating sections is 116 m long.
