INTEGRATED SYSTEMS FOR MAGNETIC SUSPENSION AND PROPULSION OF VEHICLES

Integrated magnetic suspension and propulsion system characteristics are discussed. It is concluded that repulsive suspension with linear synchronous motor drive are the most promising. In addition, preliminary results are given for a novel suspension concept which appears to provide strong lifting and restoring forces, large clearance and low drag.
