Summary: | Recognizing the development of magnetic levitation (maglev) systems in Germany and Japan, and the growing congestion, air pollution, and energy consumption resulting from the current transportation system, the US, in 1990, embarked on a program to evaluate the potential usefulness of these systems in the US. The utility of maglev systems in alleviating some of these problems, progress in the current program, and opportunities for participation by the superconductivity and cryogenic communities are discussed.< > |
