VEHICLE WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: high- speed transport. SUBSTANCE: stator windings are arranged along the road bed. The vehicle has working and reserve superconducting windings arranged to permit repulsion from the stator windings, cooling system for supplying coolant to the cooling reservoir provided with respective windings, and non-magnetic pressure-tight separating wall interposed between the cooling reservoirs. The superconducting windings are positioned so that to provided mutual inductance. If superconductivity of working winding disappears because of an accident, the superconducting magnetic device conserves the repulsive force and the vehicle, which moves with a high speed, can safely reach at least the nearest station. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 7 cl, 13 dwg
