a high temperature superconductor maglev for evacuated tube transport with a magnetic levitation structure for ett capsule vehicles traveling in an evacuated tube . at least one ett capsule travels within an evacuated tube , an upper and a lower cryostat respectively mount at the top and bottom of said ett capsule along the length thereof , at least a plurality of superconductor levitation force elements divided between said upper and lower cryostats . the levitation force being spread over the length of capsule , however substantially concentrated in a compact cross - sectional area . at least a pair of permanent magnetic elements mounted at the top and bottom of the evacuated tube to levitate the capsule . at least a pair of capsule based switchable diverge force elements cooperate with at least a pair of tube based diverge force elements to steer the capsule while in an interchange .
