  2. Maglev - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev

    EDS maglev propulsion via propulsion coils. In electrodynamic suspension (EDS), both the guideway and the train exert a magnetic field, and the train is levitated by the repulsive and attractive force between these magnetic fields. [79] In some configurations, the train can be levitated only by repulsive force.

  3. Electromagnetic propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_propulsion

    Electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) is the principle of accelerating an object by the utilization of a flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. The electrical current is used to either create an opposing magnetic field, or to charge a field, which can then be repelled.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

    Floating globe. Magnetic levitation with a feedback loop. Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by constantly altering the strength of a magnetic field produced by electromagnets using a feedback loop. In most cases the levitation effect is mostly due to permanent magnets as they have no power ...

  6. Electrodynamic wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_wheel

    An electrodynamic wheel is a type of wheel proposed for use in electrodynamic levitation of the maglev train transport system. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Unlike a conventional wheel, an electrodynamic wheel has a rim studded with magnets of alternating poles.

  7. SCMaglev - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCMaglev

    The SCMaglev (superconducting maglev, formerly called the MLU) is a magnetic levitation railway system developed by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and the Railway Technical Research Institute. [1] [2] [3] The SCMaglev uses an electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system for levitation, guidance, and propulsion.

  8. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces. [2]
