Abstract: Magnetic levitation self-regulating systems having enhanced stabilizational forces designated for immobile, or forward, or rotational motion and stable hovering of heavy masses (working bodies) in both gravity and weightlessness are proposed. This system includes a stator assembly and a levitator assembly. The stator assembly comprises split iron cores with air gaps between their core shoes fixed on a non-magnetic foundation and magnetic screens in the capacity of which serve superconductive, or permanent magnetic, or non-magnetic conductive strips. The levitator assembly comprises permanent magnets coupled together by non-magnetic couplers and disposed into the air gaps of the stator assembly. The levitator magnets are magnetized across the air gaps of the stator and generate the primary magnetic field, magnetizing the iron cores, which, in turn, create a secondary magnetic field. The magnetic screens change distribution of the primary and secondary magnetic fields in the air gaps.

Abstract: A linear synchronous motor for a high speed, ground transportation vehicle includes a linear stator assembly that is divided into sections. The stator assembly has an air gap and generates a magnetic field traveling wave therein from a constant frequency alternating current. The traveling wave has variable speeds and accelerations along different sections of the stator. A rotor assembly has a plurality of magnets forming at least one pole-pitch of a variable length. The rotor assembly is coupled to the vehicle and disposed in the air gap of the stator and runs laterally therewith, producing an attractive force between a magnetic field of the rotor and the traveling wave of the stator. The rotor has at least one magnet that includes an upper portion, a lower portion spaced apart from the upper portion, and a nonmagnetic coupler rigidly coupling the upper portion of the magnet to the lower portion. The magnetic field of the rotor propels the vehicle.

The resulting magnetic field creates a stabilizing levitational force providing a stable hovering of the levitator without any automatic control system or additional energy consumption.

Abstract: A non-contact self-adjusting magnetic guidance device for stabilizing the trajectory of a vehicle suspended in a magnetic field includes a guidance device extending along the guideway which determines the direction of movement of the vehicle. A magnetic unit has permanent magnets, of which has a longitudinal axis. The magnets, each of which is magnetized along its longitudinal axis, are coupled to an undercarriage of the vehicle and are disposed along a horizontal axis of the vehicle, and create opposite magnetic forces that align the trajectory of the vehicle during movement. A regulating mechanism monitors the magnitude of a vertical magnetic force exerted on the magnetic unit, and the regulating mechanism automatically reduces the difference between the vertical magnetic forces to zero.
