Abstract
Recently, there have been some attempts to apply magnetic levitation technology in areas where contactless operation is a prime design consideration. Magnetic conveyors, elevators and rides are examples of such applications. In addition, the use of the subsystems of the maglev systems, i.e. linear motors or magnets, is also being proposed, particularly in areas such as transportation, defense and aerospace. This chapter introduces such newly proposed attempts with a view to highlighting the use of magnetic levitation in those applications. It is hoped that this chapter may help the reader imagine their own new applications.
