Abstract:In general, it is well known that the induction type magnetic levitation (Maglev) has advantages of a contactless support and a passive control for the levitation and propulsion of a conductive sheet metal. However, heat loss caused by the eddy current inside the sheet metal decreases the efficiency remarkably. In order to use that eddy current more effectively, we have developed a new method for generating quasistatic Lorentz force between the eddy current and additional magnetic flux. In this paper, the basi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
