2. Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-stabilized_magnetic...

   Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation whereby a spinning magnet or array of magnets (typically as a top) is levitated via magnetic forces above another magnet or array of magnets, and stabilised by gyroscopic effect due to a spin rate that is neither too fast, nor too slow to allow for a necessary precession.

3. 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]

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. Magnetic bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_bearing

   A magnetic bearing. A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical wear. Magnetic bearings support the highest ...

7. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

   Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) is a form of magnetic levitation in which there are conductors which are exposed to time-varying magnetic fields. This induces eddy currents in the conductors that creates a repulsive magnetic field which holds the two objects apart. These time-varying magnetic fields can be caused by relative motion between two ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_structure

   The term magnetic structure of a material pertains to the ordered arrangement of magnetic spins, typically within an ordered crystallographic lattice. Its study is a branch of solid-state physics . Magnetic structures
