PROPOSED PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR MAGNETICALLY LEVITATED GUIDED GROUND TRANSPORTATION

A propulsion system, using a controlled variable-speed linear synchronous motor, is proposed for magnetically levitated guided ground transportation systems. The motor may be integrated with the magnetic levitation system which will use superconducting magnets for high speed systems. The motor concepts are described together with its local, remote or preset control features and inputs.
