An experimental ring model device employing high critical temperature superconductor (HTCS) short “runner” above circular iron-homopolar magnetic guideway was designed and manufactured. The device simulates, by analogy, the electromagnetic behaviour of magnetically levitated vehicle, with passive short superconductor “runners” on board, riding along a magnetic track. In the wide range of work conditions magnetic levitation experiments were conducted and lift and drag forces were measured. Numerical analyses by two-dimensional finite element parametric models were carried out; the results are presented in terms of forces and flux density distribution.

Abstract
An experimental ring model device employing high critical temperature superconductor (HTCS) short “runner” above circular iron-homopolar magnetic guideway was designed and manufactured. The device simulates, by analogy, the electromagnetic behaviour of magnetically levitated vehicle, with passive short superconductor “runners” on board, riding along a magnetic track. In the wide range of work conditions magnetic levitation experiments were conducted and lift and drag forces were measured. Numerical analyses by two-dimensional finite element parametric models were carried out; the results are presented in terms of forces and flux density distribution.Pubblicazioni consigliate
