Electromagnetic suspension and levitation

Deals with the physics and engineering aspects of the four principal contenders for advanced ground transportation systems using 'maglev' and describes the most up-to-date developments in Germany, Japan, USA and the UK in this field. Some of the very recent challenging developments in the application of electromagnetic suspension and levitation techniques to contactless bearings are also described.
