R. M. Owen CompanyOwens Magnetic Motor Car Corporation. The Owen Magnetic was a pioneering [1] American brand of hybrid electric luxury automobile manufactured between 1915 and 1922. Car models of the brand were notable for their use of an electromagnetic transmission and were early examples of an electric series hybrid drivetrain. The ...
The first working full-scale MHD ship. A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics. The fluid is directed to the rear and as a reaction, the vehicle ...
Magnet motor. A magnet motor or magnetic motor is a type of perpetual motion machine, which is intended to generate a rotation by means of permanent magnets in stator and rotor without external energy supply. Such a motor is theoretically as well as practically not realizable. [1][2] The idea of functioning magnetic motors has been promoted by ...
Failsafe suspension—no power required to activate magnets; Magnetic field is localized below the car; can generate enough force at low speeds (around 5 kilometres per hour or 3.1 miles per hour) for levitation; given power failure cars stop safely; Halbach arrays of permanent magnets may prove more cost-effective than electromagnets.
This enables the car to accelerate from 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.4 seconds and achieve a top speed above 200 mph (322 km/h). [9] Power is delivered to the rear wheels by a 6-speed rear-mounted dual-clutch transmission. [10] [11] The car uses tires of size 255/40ZR19 at the front and 285/40ZR19 at the rear.
The Wingless Electromagnetic Air Vehicle (WEAV) is a heavier than air flight system developed at the University of Florida, funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. [1][2][3] The WEAV was invented in 2006 by Dr. Subrata Roy, [4] plasma physicist, aerospace engineering professor at the University of Florida, and has been a subject ...
The electrical current is used to either create an opposing magnetic field, or to charge a field, which can then be repelled. When a current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, an electromagnetic force known as a Lorentz force, pushes the conductor in a direction perpendicular to the conductor and the magnetic field. This repulsing ...
A Road Powered electric vehicle may be defined as a transport capsule with the following characteristics: Where an external electric supply is provided, this is typically with overhead conductors or above-ground rails or (rarely) sub-surface electro-magnets. The electric vehicle further may include an on-board control system that directs energy ...
