Abstract

A possible on-board power supply system for a magnetically levitated train is presented and its obtainable electrical power is estimated. The system uses special superconducting magnets, which are used only for generating electrical power. Some induction coils to pick up high-frequency components are set in front of the magnets. The special superconducting magnets and the induction coils will be mounted only at the head car and the tail car out of 14 cars in a train. The estimation shows that it is possible to obtain more than 630 kW of electrical power
