HTS Maglev launch technology Acronyms and abbreviations The authors begin this book with a systematic overview of superconductivity superconducting materials magnetic levitation and superconducting magnetic levitation the prerequisites to understand the latter part of the book that forms a solid foundation for further study in High Temperature Superconducting Magnetic Levitation (HTS Maglev). This book presents our research progress on HTS Maglev at Applied Superconductivity Laboratory (ASCLab) of Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) China with an emphasis on the findings that led to the worlds first manned HTS Maglev test vehicle Century . The book provides a detailed description on our previous work at ASCLab including the designing of the HTS Maglev test and measurement method as well as the apparatus building Century developing the HTS Maglev numerical simulation system and making new progress on HTS Maglev. The final parts of this book discuss research and prototyping efforts at ASCLab in several adjacent fields including HTS Maglev bearing Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) and HTS maglev launch technology. We hope this book becomes a valuable source for researchers and engineers working in the fascinating field of HTS Maglev science and engineering.
