Integrated null-flux suspension and multiphase propulsion system for magnetically-levitated vehicles

Patent Rote, Donald M. ; He, Jianliang ; Johnson, Larry R.

A propulsion and stabilization system comprising a series of FIG. 8 coils mounted vertically on the walls of the guideway to provide suspension, lateral guidance and propulsion of a magnetically levitated vehicle. This system further allows for altering the magnetic field effects by changing the relative position of the loops comprising the FIG. 8 coils either longitudinally and/or vertically with resulting changes in the propulsion, the vertical stability, and the suspension.
