      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive overview of magnetic  levitation (Maglev) technologies, from fundamental  principles through to the state-of-the-art, and describes  applications both realised and under development. It  includes a history of Maglev science and technology showing  the various milestones in its advancement. The core  concepts, operating principles and main challenges of  Maglev applications attempted across various fields are  introduced and discussed. The principle difficulties  encountered when applying Maglev technology to different  systems, namely air gap control and stabilization, are  addressed in detail. The book describes how major  advancements in linear motor and magnet technologies have  enabled the development of the linear-motor-powered Maglev  train, which has a high speed advantage over conventional  wheeled trains and has the potential to reach speed levels  achieved by aircraft. However, many expect that Maglev  technology to be a green technology that is applied not  only in rail transportation, but also in diverse other  fields; to ensure clean transfer in LCD manufacturing, in  ropeless high speed elevators, small capacity rail  transportation, space vehicle launchers, missile testers,  energy storage, and so on. These potential applications and  their unique challenges and proposed technological  solutions are introduced and discussed in depth. The book  will provide readers from academia, research institutes and  industry with insights on where and how to apply Maglev  technology, and will serve as a guide to the realization of  their Maglev applications.},
