Abstract
- The mechanical rotation of a radially positioned permanent-magnet Halbach array above a conducting, nonmagnetic track induces eddy currents in the track that can inductively create suspension and propulsion forces simultaneously. The parameters that affect the performance of this electrodynamic wheel are studied using a 2-D steady-state finite-element method. Tradeoffs between the lift and thrust force performance are investigated and methods to improve the thrust efficiency are proposed. Index Terms--Eddy currents, electromagnetic analysis, finite-element methods, Halbach array, maglev.
