摘要： The invention provides in some aspects a transport system comprising a guideway with a plurality of propulsion coils disposed along a region in which one or more vehicles are to be propelled. One or more vehicles are disposed on the guideway, each including a magnetic flux source. The guideway has one or more running surfaces that support the vehicles and along which they roll or slide. Each vehicle can have a septum portion of narrowed cross-section that is coupled to one or more body portions of the vehicle. The guideway includes a diverge region that has a flipper and an extension of the running surface at a vertex of the diverge. The flipper initiates switching of vehicle direction at a diverge by exerting a laterally directed force thereon. The extension continues switching of vehicle direction at the diverge by contacting the septum. Still other aspects of the invention provide a transport system, e.g., as described above, that includes a merge region with a flipper and a broadened region of the running surface. The flipper applies a lateral force to the vehicle to alter an angle thereof as the vehicle enters the merge region, and the broadened region continues the merge by contacting the septum of the vehicle, thereby, providing further guidance or channeling for the merge. The flipper, which can be equipped for full or partial deployment, is partially deployed in order to effect alteration of the vehicle angle as the vehicle enters the merge.

摘要： The invention provides in some aspects a transport system comprising a guideway having a plurality of regions in which one or more vehicles are propelled, where each such vehicle includes a magnet. Disposed along each region are a plurality of propulsion coils, each comprising one or more turns that are disposed about a common axis, such that the respective common axes of the plurality of coils in that region are (i) substantially aligned with one another, and (ii) orthogonal to a direction in which the vehicles are to be propelled in that region. The plurality of coils of at least one such region are disposed on opposing sides of the magnets of vehicles being propelled along that region so as to exert a propulsive force of substance on those magnets. In at least one other region, the plurality of coils disposed on only a single side of the magnets of vehicles being propelled in that region exert a propulsive force of substance thereon—regardless of whether the plurality of coils in that region are disposed on a single or multiple (e.g., opposing sides) of those magnets.

摘要： A networked guideway transit system uses permanent magnet repulsion with induction-based repulsion within the networked guideway transport system, which can levitate passively with motion. Magnetic levitation technology is used to replace wheels as the primary means of vehicle suspension. The networked guideway transit system uses the permanent magnets to provide primary lift and uses electrodynamic repulsion to create centering forces at most operational speeds while integrating linear motor functions with the electrodynamic centering function. Further, the networked guideway transit system uses no moving parts in the guideways, which enhances reliability in the guideways.

摘要： The magnetic levitation system for long distance delivery of water includes a magnetic levitation guideway and a magnetic levitation train of vehicles for carrying large amounts of water at high speed. Vehicles of the water train have a large, flexible balloon having a thick skin formed of reinforced flexible composite material for carrying water. When pressurized and filled with water, the container forms a streamlined cylinder that runs the full length of the vehicle. After delivery of the water load and depressurization, the flexible skins are depressurized and collapsed to minimize the frontal area and air drag on the vehicles. An "iron lift" guideway panel provides the magnetic lift force, with superconducting magnets on the vehicle attracted upwards to laminated steel plates attached to the guideway. Null flux aluminum loops provided for inherent stabilization. Unstable horizontal attractive forces are countered by null flux stability loop circuits making the stable restoring force from the null flux loops greater than the unstable force from the attraction to the steel plates, so that the net horizontal force is restoring, and the suspension is horizontally stable.

摘要： The electromagnetic induction ground vehicle levitation guideway includes a beam support member, and a transverse structural slab member mounted on top of the beam support member. The structural slab member includes top and bottom structural plates mounted to the top and bottom surface of the structural slab member. The guideway includes vertical lift, lateral stability, and linear synchronous motor coils with a null flux geometry in the guideway that interact with superconducting magnets of the vehicle, allowing the vehicle to safely reach speeds of up to 350 mph with relatively low power consumption. A kinetic energy absorption structure is provided on the guideway that is capable of high speed mechanical braking of the vehicle if the superconducting magnets of the vehicle fail. A sloped top protective cover over the energy absorption structure is provided to minimize adhesion and buildup of snow and ice, and extends over the sides of the guideway. Sensors are also mounted to the guideway for detecting the presence of heavy objects contacting the guideway, and for determining the location and speed of the vehicle.

摘要： A Linear Synchronous Motor for a high-speed, ground transportation vehicle includes a linear extended guideway stator assembly containing two extended symmetrical three-phase stator windings supported on the guideway and a rotor installed on the vehicle chassis and having an even number of identical units. When the winding is powered by three-phase sinusoidal current of constant frequency, the traveling wave of the sinusoidal current arises and runs along the stator. By varying the length of the turns of the stator windings, the velocity of the traveling wave is variable on different sections of the guideway, which include acceleration section, constant velocity section and deceleration section. Each of the rotor units includes vertically magnetized permanent magnets and two "C"-shaped steel cores which close the magnetic lines through two parallel air gaps. The permanent magnets move downward and upward within the "C"-shaped steel cores. The turns of the stator windings pass through the air gaps in the rotor units, so that the traveling wave interacts with the magnetic field in the air gaps and creates the Lorenz force propelling the vehicle. Two synchronizing devices are operatively associated with the rotor to coordinate the length of the turns of the stator windings with the length of the pole-pitch of the rotor. One of the synchronizing devices controls movement of the permanent magnets upward and downward with respect to the "C"-shaped steel cores to change the pole-pitch of the rotor step-wise, and another one moves the units of the rotor apart and together to change the pole-pitch of the rotor smoothly. As the result, the linear synchronous motor provides the vehicle motion with designated speed at any section of the guideway/stator.

摘要： A magnetic levitated vehicle, including a linear rotor connected thereto, runs on a tubular track having a circular cross-section and a tubular linear induction motor stator mounted therein. The rotor is movably mounted within the stator and the vehicle is positioned above the track. The rotor is connected to the vehicle by a riser extending through longitudinal slots of the track and stator, and by an actuator mechanism, which includes a transversely curved saddle movably connected to drive members, for enabling the vehicle to be banked at curve sections of the tubular track. Further, vehicle banking is also accomplished by constructing the track and stator with the slots laterally offset at the curved sections of the track.

摘要： A monobeam/guideway (beam) and electromagnetically jimmied vehicle prototype mating system having: a beam of durable, long life pre-cast reinforced concrete or similar composite infrastructure produce with mass to reduce travel sound transmissions caused by deflections in lighter weight elevated guideway support designs. The beam to vehicle mating design allows the vehicle to straddle over the beam riding along its ridge on tires while balancing on support casters making firm positive contact at critical tangent points along the beam's Nebel surfaces during intermittent non-jimmied/non-levitated periods of operation. Non-jimmied vehicle positioning is free of the wide gap tolerances of prior art. The beam and elevated support allow the vehicle to underwrap and become jimmied by attractive magnetic response of magnetic balancers which are magnets at the vehicle underwrap excited by electromagnetic starter packs located underside guideway beams. The Beam has rubberized non-stick ride surfaces to shed ice and snow. Other magnetic balancers are also set at clockset positions to the beam's radial tendency and are in addition angular set in a unified saw-tooth arrangement to draw train toward travel direction. Noise, mechanical wear and the vibrational passenger discomforts of prior art during non-jimmied operation are reduced if not eliminated by this design.
