	Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary ones used in maglev trains are servo-stabilized electromagnetic suspension (EMS), electrodynamic suspension (EDS), and Inductrack.
		This principle is exploited by EDS (electrodynamic suspension) in some magnetic levitation trains.
		Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) in maglev trains is a system whereby a powered electromagnet maintains a train at a constant distance from a track.

		Due to this (and flux pinning) the magnet is held at a fixed distance from the superconductor or vice versa.
		This is the principle in place behind EDS (electrodynamic suspension) magnetic levitation trains.
		If the position and trajectory of the object to be levitated can be measured, the field of nearby electromagnets (or even the position of permanent magnets) can be continuously adjusted via feedback control systems to keep the levitated object in the desired position.

	Dr. Marc Thompson, PhD Thesis CHAPTER 1 --- INTRODUCTION
		The repulsive system (electrodynamic suspension, or EDS) is levitated by reaction forces caused by induced circulating currents in a passive conductive guideway.
		The electrodynamic superconducting magnetic suspension (EDS) is a repulsive suspension invented in the United States in the 1960’s and has been actively researched in the United States, Japan, and to a lesser extent Germany.
		The use of HTSC coils in an active secondary suspension is a significant contribution to the state-of-the-art in Maglev suspensions.

	WHAT IS MAGLEV? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is an attractive force levitation system whereby electromagnets on the vehicle interact with and are attracted to ferromagnetic rails on the guideway.
		Variations in payload weight, dynamic loads, and guideway irregularities are compensated for by changing the magnetic field in response to vehicle/guideway air gap measurements.
		Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) employs magnets on the moving vehicle to induce currents in the guideway.

		The extended electrodynamics provides an electrodynamically engineerable unified field theory that is capable of directly changing matter through action-at-a-distance, including time-reversing matter (either living or inert), through the manipulation of the internal longitudinal wave pairs with associated time-polarized EM waves.
		It is known in electrodynamics that in a dielectric, such as the body, every part of the dielectric participates in each photon emission from the body surface [Reali, 55].
		Suspensions of larger particles or regular masses can be utilized if the liquid medium is agitated to keep the particles/masses in suspension.

	[No title]
		The electrodynamic system, also known as the Linear express, was developed in Japan.
		The electrodynamic system is based on three basic principles, Lenz's law (motional emf), moving current creates a magnetic field, and that like poles of a magnetic field repel while opposite poles attract.
		Superconducting wires are used in a basically solenoid shape to create the electromagnets on the train with a linear synchronous motor that provides the alternating current.

	Magnetic Levitation Train - MSN Encarta
		The first, called electromagnetic suspension (EMS), uses conventional electromagnets mounted at the ends of a pair of structures under the train.
		The second design, called electrodynamic suspension (EDS), uses the opposing force between superconducting magnets on the vehicle and electrically conductive strips or coils in the guideway to levitate the train.
		This approach is inherently stable, and it does not require continued monitoring and adjustment.

		The systems were described in terms of conceptual design detail, performance, cost, safety, and other measures in order to illustrate their merit for application to a next-generation 300 mph (134 m/s) maglev for U.S. deployment.
		In order to take full advantage of a large air gap, a suspension with sophisticated characteristics, such as some combination of feedback, preview, and adaptive control, is needed.
		Research to determine the optimum suspension force-control characteristic is ongoing.

		If the position and trajectory of the object to be levitated can be measured, the field of nearby electromagnet s (or even the position of permanent magnet s) can be continuously adjusted via feedback control system s to keep the levitated object in the desired position.

	Perspective on Maglev Transit and Intro of the PRT Maglev
		For the PRT maglev, vehicular suspension structures are located in front of and behind the passenger cabin.
		For electrodynamic suspension, magnetic drag losses are proportional to the weight of the vehicle and are inversely proportional to travel velocity.
		As high temperature superconductivity becomes reality, electric powered cars could be manufactured with magnetic suspension systems located within the four quarter-panels and, similar to HOV lanes, wheeled vehicles could literally drive onto and into a maglev transit corridor where automated maglev suspension would take over for much of the trip.

	Superconductors!!!!!
		German engineers are building an electromagnetic suspension (EMS) system, called Transrapid, in which the train's bottom is wrapped around a steel rail.
		Japanese engineers are developing a competing version of maglev trains that use an electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system based on the repelling force of magnets.
		The key difference between Japanese and German maglev trains is that the Japanese trains use super-cooled, superconducting electromagnets, whereas the German's EMS system uses standard electromagnets.

		The attractive electromagnetic suspension (EMS) uses electromagnets on the train body which are attracted to the iron rails.
		The electrodynamic suspension (EDS) levitates the train by repulsive forces from the induced currents in the conductive guideways.

		Because the magnets are below the rail, they are attracted upwards, which causes the vehicle to be pushed upwards and "levitate."
		Unlike electromagnetic suspension, EDS operates through repulsive force.
		In this instance, a vehicle has a electromagnet attached directly to the bottom of the vehicle, not below the rail.
