Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for damping vibrations in high Tc superconducting magnetic levitation bearings and the like is described. By controlling the temperature of the superconducting material at the 'energy dissipation peak', which is a few degrees below the temperature of the transition to the superconducting state, a damping effect can be switched on or off as required.
