Amlev-a self-regulating version of Maglev

The reasons for delay of commercialization of Maglev for public transportation are presented. It is argued that both the magnetic suspension and the propulsion motor should be self-regulating, and the feasibility of self-regulation is proved. A brief description of Amlev's design and the principles of operation of its self-regulating magnetodynamic suspension and permanent magnet propulsion motor are presented. The advantages of Amlev over electromagnetic system (EMS) and electrodynamic system (EDS) Maglev are discussed.
