Abstract: One or more permanent magnets, or one or more permanent magnet arrays are used to produce shear force levitation. A primary application of shear force levitators is a levitated ring energy storage device. Such a levitated ring energy storage device includes a round support structure having a first magnetic levitator or levitator array encircling its outer periphery, and a ring encircling the support structure and having a second magnetic levitator or levitator array encircling its inner periphery, such that the first and second magnetic levitators (or levitator arrays) interact to produce a vertical force that levitates the ring.

Abstract: A magnetically levitated transportation system employs permanent magnet rails along a guideway that interact with permanent magnets on a vehicle. The rails are optimized to reduce magnetic mass, while maximizing lift force. In one example, the arrays are composed of arrays of magnets having rotating magnetizations, such as Halbach arrays. In another example, the arrays are cup-shaped to provide stronger magnetic field forces in the central portion of the array, relative to the lateral portion of the array. The vehicle may be stabilized in the lateral and yaw directions with feedback controlled lateral control coils that interact with the permanent magnet rails on the guideway. Vertical, pitch and roll motions may be controlled or damped with eddy-current damper coils or plates or with active feedback control to control the coils.

Abstract: A variable reluctance electric motor employs motor coils installed adjacent to or integral with railroad rails and uses the steel wheels of railroad locomotives and cars as its moving elements. This “rail motor” electrically propels unmodified conventional railroad trains or individual railroad cars, without the use of diesel engines and with no mechanical connection to the vehicles, and is electronically controlled. Electric operation eliminates the production of air pollution by any locomotive traveling through rail motor-equipped zones, improves system capacity by providing boost power on ascending grades, and can be used to brake trains, recovering and storing the energy.
