  2. Hovercar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovercar

    It was a one-person, small in a modern sense, car propelled by maglev. The car was designed to be levitated by magnets, and was intended to be developed for high-speed transportation systems. The Levicar was very light and when raised off its guide rail by the magnetic it only required a blower in the back to propel it.

  3. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Permanent magnets do not require an external power source, making them highly energy-efficient and ideal for applications such as magnetic levitation. Their relative magnetic permeability is very close to unity, which means they do not significantly distort externally generated magnetic fields. The magnetic field at a given point is the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendocino_motor

    The idea of a light-commutated motor, where solar cells power the individual coils of a motor, was first described by Daryl Chapin in an experiment kit from 1962 about solar energy. [1] The kit was distributed by Bell Labs , where Chapin together with his colleagues Calvin Fuller and Gerald Pearson had invented the modern solar cell eight years ...

    Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in Lower Saxony, Germany A full trip on the Shanghai Transrapid maglev train Example of low-speed urban maglev system, Linimo. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.

  6. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

    Floating globe. Magnetic levitation with a feedback loop. Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by constantly altering the strength of a magnetic field produced by electromagnets using a feedback loop. In most cases the levitation effect is mostly due to permanent magnets as they have no power ...
