Abstract: In a linear drive for track-guided land transportation or railway vehicles, which includes a primary part and a secondary part in magnetically active connection thereto, the primary part is formed as a reaction track and the secondary part includes a number of magnets. The secondary part includes at least one first magnetic wheel. The number of magnets is arranged in this first magnetic wheel. The reaction track is magnetically actively connected to this number of magnets. The secondary part is mechanically connected to a rotation drive.

Abstract: An amusement facility with a rail system and vehicles guided on the rail system includes a drive for powering the vehicles, as well as a power supply for the drive. The rail system includes elevated sections that are arranged vertically above a base area on a support structure, on which the amusement facility is built. A plurality of photovoltaic units and/or wind energy units for generating electrical energy are arranged on the supporting structure, which are connected to at least one energy storage system for storing the generated electrical energy. The at least one energy storage system is connected to supply electrical energy to the drive and/or a control unit for controlling the amusement facility.

Abstract: An electromagnetic linear drive for driving a track-guided vehicle along a rail system. The electromagnetic linear drive includes at least one stator segment arranged at the rail system and at least one magnet armature arranged at the vehicle. The at least one magnet armature includes a cover consisting of synthetic material comprising a meshwork of carbon fibers and/or aramid fibers. The electromagnetic linear drive can be used in a roller coaster for driving vehicles of the roller coaster.

Abstract: The invention relates to a linear motor drive system for the acceleration of a vehicle within an acceleration section on a travel route. The linear motor drive system comprises a stator with at least two stator elements arranged along the travel route, the stator elements are assembled to form at least two stator groups. Moreover, the linear motor drive system comprises a rotor, which is secured on the vehicle. Each stator group is permanently connected to its own at least one energy transformer for its power supply, which can be individually actuated. At least two of the stator groups are arranged such that the rotor can interact at the same time with the at least two stator groups. The invention furthermore relates to the use of the linear motor drive system for the acceleration of a vehicle 3 for passenger transportation in an amusement park.
