Electro-magnetic and electro-dynamic sustentation comparison

초록

The aim of the present analysis is to compare electro-dyanmic and electromagnetic sustentation systems. For the electro-dynamic solution, the simplified model will be a sine wave MMF generated by a DC conducting layer in front of a semi-infinite conducting space. For the electro-magnetic solution, an electromagnet in front of iron will be considered. In a second step a more precise model is presented, allowing a sensitivity analysis of the main design parameters: speed, air gap, conducting layer thickness, pole pitch, etc
