Abstract

A revolutionary development in the field of low-friction, high-speed transportation is the magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology. Electrodynamic and electromagnetic suspension methods used by older maglev systems still suffer from stability issues and energy losses. One possible answer might be the use of superconducting metamaterials, which combine the tailored electromagnetic characteristics of metamaterials with the zero electrical resistance of superconductors. Levitation efficiency and system stability are both enhanced by the materials' capacity to offer ultra-low loss magnetic channels and precise control of the magnetic field. Thanks to the Meissner effect and flux pinning phenomena seen in superconductors, which drastically decrease friction and wear, stable levitation independent of mechanical support is now within reach. It is possible that metamaterial structures might enhance field dispersion and levitation force by manipulating magnetic fields. With the use of superconducting metamaterial structures, this research intends to foretell and analyze the functionality of future maglev transit systems. In comparison to conventional magnetic levitation methods, this one performed better in terms of stability, energy loss reduction, and levitation height. The suggested method may provide the groundwork for a low-power, maintenance-intensive, high-speed transportation system.
