Abstract
A system and method in at least one embodiment provides magnetic levitation to a vehicle above and/or partially about a rail or track using a flux field generator having a plurality of members having mated waveform patterns. In a further embodiment, the magnetic levitation also uses a distribution system. In a further embodiment, the plurality of members forms a disk-pack turbine. In a further embodiment, the flux field generator is not vehicle based.
Claims14
A vehicle comprising:
- a housing having an internal cavity;
- a platform surface on top of said housing, said platform configured to hold objects;
- at least one flux field generator located in said internal cavity, said at least one flus field generator having
- a disk-pack turbine having at least one waveform member having waveforms formed on at least one surface, and
- a drive system engaging said disk-pack turbine;
- and
- a distribution system in flux communication with said flux field generator.

A system comprising:
- at least one vehicle, wherein each vehicle
- a housing having an internal cavity;
- a platform surface on top of said housing, said platform configured to hold objects;
- at least one flux field generator located in said internal cavity, said at least one flus field generator having
- a disk-pack turbine having at least two waveform members having waveforms formed on at least one surface, and said waveform members are orientated parallel to each other, and
- a drive system engaging said disk-pack turbine;
- and
- a track system having a plurality of electromagnets that are configured to be cycled on and off to attract, be neutral, and repulse as said vehicle progresses along said track system, and
- wherein said flux field generator is configured during use to create a magnetic field that provides levitation from said electromagnets below said vehicle.
