Levitation system and method of using the same

A vehicle for levitated transportation, the vehicle comprising:

• a passenger compartment;
• a superconducting material mounted to a surface of the passenger compartment;
• pipes configured to receive a flow of liquid hydrogen throughout the superconducting material and thereby maintain a temperature of the superconducting material below a critical temperature of the superconducting material;
• an optical interface system mounted to the surface of the passenger compartment, the optical interface system comprising
• at least one laser source;
• and
• at least one magnetized laser reflector;
• and
• a controller comprising a memory and a processor, the controller configured to control the optical interface system,
• wherein the at least one magnetized laser reflector is configured to reflect light emitted from the at least one laser source to create a combined magnetic field below around the surface of the passenger compartment that repels a magnetic field of the superconducting material.

A method for levitating a vehicle, the method comprising:

• cooling a superconducting material below a critical temperature of the superconducting material, the superconducting material being mounted on a surface of the vehicle;
• emitting magnetized light from a light source mounted on at least the surface of the vehicle;
• reflecting the magnetized light from the light source using at least one magnetized light reflector;
• generating a magnetic field between the surface of the vehicle and a ground surface;
• and
• repelling the surface of the vehicle away from the ground surface based on the magnetic field repelling the superconducting material.
