Abstract
In this paper the concept of magnetic rolling resistance (MRR) is introduced. The MRR is particularly useful when trying to characterize maglev devices that operate with a slip. Approaches to minimize the MRR for an electrodynamic wheel magnetic suspension device are discussed. MRR is calculated from the power losses and it is shown that by using MRR a direct performance comparison with existing modes of transportation can be made. The MRR for a number of different maglev designs is calculated.
