PASSENGER CARRYING VEHICLES USING CONTROLLED D.C. AND CONTROLLED PERMANENT MAGNETS

Development and operation of a vehicle weighing 1000 Kg, using controlled d.c. electromagnets, capable of carrying four passengers and operating on a 30 m track are discussed. The vehicle utilizes an electromagnetic method with magnetic flux loop or force transducers and position and velocity transducers. Computational aspects of unusual magnets geometries and propulsion requirements are considered.
