Overview of My Study on Superconducting Levitation Mechatronics

Abstract

　This commentary article discusses the overview of my study on “Superconducting levitation mechatronics” which consists of “Superconducting magnetic levitation” and “Superconducting magnetic bearing”. In the study, many superconducting applications and systems are proposed and improved. In the study on hybrid magnetic bearing, the stiffness, rotation speed, etc. are discussed and improved. In the study on flywheel energy storage system, the rotation speed, energy storage system, etc. are discussed and improved. In the study on superconducting actuators, the stiffness, magnetization, etc. are discussed and improved. In the study on superconducting magnetic bearing with superconducting coil, the stiffness, damping coefficient, etc. are discussed and improved. In the study on levitation system with superconducting coil, the superconducting persistent current, application to levitation system, etc. are discussed and improved.
