  2. Linear induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_induction_motor

    A linear induction motor (LIM) is an alternating current (AC), asynchronous linear motor that works by the same general principles as other induction motors but is typically designed to directly produce motion in a straight line. Characteristically, linear induction motors have a finite primary or secondary length, which generates end-effects ...

  3. Magnetic river - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_river

    Magnetic river is an electrodynamic magnetic levitation (maglev) system designed by Fredrick Eastham and Eric Laithwaite in 1974. It consists of a thin conductive plate on an AC linear induction motor. Due to the transverse flux and the geometry, this gives it lift, stability and propulsion as well as being relatively [vague] efficient. The ...

  4. Electromagnetic propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_propulsion

    [2] [3] In the 1960s Eric Roberts Laithwaite developed the linear induction motor, which built upon these principles and introduced the first practical application of electromagnetic propulsion. [4] In 1966 James R. Powell and Gordon Danby patented the superconducting maglev transportation system, and after this engineers around the world raced ...

  5. Linear motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motor

    Linear motors are most commonly found in high accuracy engineering [1] applications. Many designs have been put forward for linear motors, falling into two major categories, low-acceleration and high-acceleration linear motors. Low-acceleration linear motors are suitable for maglev trains and other

  6. Chūō Shinkansen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chūō_Shinkansen

    The Chuo Shinkansen (中央新幹線, Central Shinkansen) is a Japanese maglev line under construction between Tokyo and Nagoya, with plans for extension to Osaka.Its initial section is between Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and Nagoya Station in Nagoya, with stations in Sagamihara, Kōfu, Iida and Nakatsugawa.

  7. Induction motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

    Induction motors are most commonly run on single-phase or three-phase power, but two-phase motors exist; in theory, induction motors can have any number of phases. Many single-phase motors having two windings can be viewed as two-phase motors, since a capacitor is used to generate a second power phase 90° from the single-phase supply and feeds ...

  8. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

    Maglev (magnetic levitation) is a transportation system in which a vehicle is suspended on a guiding rail by the principle of electromagnetic suspension. Maglev has the advantages of being quieter and smoother than wheeled transportation due to eliminating much of the physical contact between wheels and track.

  9. L0 Series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L0_Series

    The L0 Series (Japanese: L ( エル ) 0 ( ゼロ ) 系 ( けい ), Hepburn: Eru-zero-kei, "L zero series") [3] is a high-speed maglev train which the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) has been developing and testing. JR Central plans to use the L0 series on the Chūō Shinkansen railway line between Tokyo and Osaka, which ...
