Development of New Propulsion System for Magnetically Levitated Vehicle

This paper describes a new propulsion system for magnetically levitated vehicles with hybrid magnets, which were studied in place of streetcars and transportation systems in semiconductor production. The new propulsion system for magnetically levitated vehicles proposed here is low cost and easy to make. We obtained static experiment results of the linear switched reluctance motor (LSRM) as a new propulsion system, and obtained the basic characteristics.
