Overview of Electrodynamic Levitation Technique Applied to Maglev Vehicles

Magnetic levitation vehicles are means of transport that move without touching the ground by the action of magnetic forces. The electrodynamic levitation technique uses the repulsive forces that arise from the interaction between any variable magnetic field and a good electrical conductor. This work aims to organize in a didactic manner the main topics involving electrodynamic suspension applied to Maglev vehicles, thus contributing to the understanding of the technique.
