Abstract
In this research, the magnetic gradient drive system is proposed as a HiTc super conductor levitation motor with a new driving method. This drive system rotates the rotation body of apermanent magnet according to a rotating magnetic gradient. This permanent magnet is used as a levitation body of the high temperature superconducting levitation too. In this research, this motor was developed and the utility was verified by the experiment. Moreover, the movement of the rotation levitation body was simulated, and the utility of the theoretical analysis was verified compared with the experiment result.
