From Peter Pan to Harry Potter, from David Copperfield to levitating toys, there is magic in conquering gravity. In this first-ever popular introduction to “maglev”— the use of magnetic forces to overcome gravity and friction—James D. Livingston takes lay readers on a journey of discovery, from basic concepts to today’s most thrilling applications. The tour begins with examples of our historical fascination with levitation, both real and fake. At the next stop, Livingston introduces readers to the components of maglev: gravitational and magnetic forces in the universe, force fields, diamagnetism and stabilization, superdiamagnetism and supercurrents, maglev nanotechnology, and more. He explores the development of the superconductors that are making large-scale levitation devices possible, and the use of magnetic bearings in products ranging from implanted blood pumps to wind turbines, integrated circuit fabrication, and centrifuges to enrich uranium. In the last chapters, we arrive at the science behind maglev transportation systems, such as Chinese trains that travel 250 miles per hour without touching the tracks. Packed with fascinating anecdotes about the colorful personalities who have “fought friction by fighting gravity,” the book maintains accuracy throughout while it entertains and informs technical and nontechnical readers alike. With so many new applications for magnetic levitation on the horizon, Rising Force is sure to retain its own magic for years to come.

Presents the fundamental principles governing levitation of material bodies by magnetic fields without too much formal theory. Defines the technology of magnetic bearings, especially those based on superconductivity, and demonstrates the key roles that magnetics, mechanics and dynamics play in the complete understanding of magnetic levitation and its bearings. Features extensive figures and photos of Mag-Lev devices and summarizes recent U.S. research studies in an effort to regain the lead in Mag-Lev technologies.

Levitation - is it possible? Can human beings really leave the ground through the power of the mind alone? How can this extraordinary defiance of gravitational force be induced at will? These are some of the questions answered in this epoch-making book, the first ever to lay bare the occult meditational techniques by which the mind can lift the body off the ground. The secrets of levitation are centuries old, but they have remained in the hands of a few adepts - until now. This book gives you the facts, the history, the controversies, the theories, and, above all the techniques - everything, in fact, you should know about meditation. Among the topics covered here are: Transcendental Meditation (TM) and levitation. Science and levitation. Famous Fakirs and fakers. The connection between levitation and the Chakras Astral power The power of the mind - how to harness it This is an essential guide for anyone interested in the power of the mind, the legends of the East, Transcendental Meditation, occult and metaphysical practices, and of course, anyone interested in a good giggle.

One of the major experimental difficulties in studying materials at extreme temperatures is unwanted contamination of the sample through contact with the container. This can be avoided by suspending the sample through levitation. This technique also makes metastable states of matter accessible, opening up new avenues of scientific enquiry, as well as possible new materials for technological applications. This book describes several methods of levitation, the most important being aerodynamic, electromagnetic and electrostatic. It summarizes the state-of-the-art of the measurement of structural, dynamic and physical properties with levitation techniques, the considerable progress made in this field in the past two decades, and prospects for the future. It also explores the concepts behind the experiments and associated theoretical ideas. Aimed at researchers in physics, physical chemistry and materials science, the book is also of interest to professionals working in high-temperature materials processing and the aerospace industry.

The little manual you now hold teaches levitation. Many people will have you believe levitation is impossible. It is not. Levitation is an extraordinary ability. By that I mean you do it every day and don’t even realize it. I’m going to show you how to bring out that little bit of extra energy you need to leave the ground. With proper knowledge and some time spent doing the exercises in this manual, you can achieve levitation. It’s not as hard as you may think. I wrote this manual to save lives. Our society lives and works in buildings that are too tall. Fire and rescue personnel just can’t get to the upper floors if something disastrous happens in the middle or upper floors of these buildings. Many people choose to jump rather than die in fire. I don’t blame them either; however, by writing this manual, I would like to give you a third choice. If you take the time to learn what I teach, you can control how fast you fall. That is why I chose to name this work Survival Levitation. Levitation is for survival and it can save your life. I hope and pray that you will never have to use the knowledge in this book to save your life. If you do, however, it will be nice to have it. Be safe, be prepared, and don’t be afraid to let yourself achieve something impossible.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of magnetic levitation (Maglev) technologies, from fundamental principles through to the state-of-the-art, and describes applications both realised and under development. It includes a history of Maglev science and technology showing the various milestones in its advancement. The core concepts, operating principles and main challenges of Maglev applications attempted across various fields are introduced and discussed. The principle difficulties encountered when applying Maglev technology to different systems, namely air gap control and stabilization, are addressed in detail. The book describes how major advancements in linear motor and magnet technologies have enabled the development of the linear-motor-powered Maglev train, which has a high speed advantage over conventional wheeled trains and has the potential to reach speed levels achieved by aircraft. However, many expect that Maglev technology to be a green technology that is applied not only in rail transportation, but also in diverse other fields; to ensure clean transfer in LCD manufacturing, in ropeless high speed elevators, small capacity rail transportation, space vehicle launchers, missile testers, energy storage, and so on. These potential applications and their unique challenges and proposed technological solutions are introduced and discussed in depth. The book will provide readers from academia, research institutes and industry with insights on where and how to apply Maglev technology, and will serve as a guide to the realization of their Maglev applications.

"In this book, Peter Adey explores the idea of levitation within our cultural, scientific and spiritual lives. From science to illustration, poetry, philsophy, law, technology and a wider popular, spiritual and visual imagination, Levitation casts the levitator as a far more vulnerable figure than we previously have thought"--Jacket flap
