Magnetic levitation of large liquid volume

Magnetic Levitation and Noncoalescence of Liquid Helium.

Spin stabilized magnetic levitation

The stability of the Levitron cannot be explained if the top’s axis has a fixed direction in space. Stability against flipping is not enough. Gyroscopic precession around the local magnetic field direction is necessary. An analysis and numerical integration of the equations of motion for an experimental stemless top that includes gyroscopic precession around the local magnetic field lines predi...

MAGNETIC LEVITATION A Review

This paper deals with the present scenario of magnetic levitation with LIM. The magnetically levitated train has no wheels, but floats-or surfs-on an electromagnetic wave, enabling rides at 330 miles per hour. By employing no wheels, maglev eliminates the friction, and concomitant heat, associated with conventional wheel-on-rail train configurations. There are two basic types of non-contact Mag...

Optimization of Magnetic Levitation System

In magnetically levitated system in certain applications like magnetically levitated train or bearingless motors the distance between the magnet and the levitated object has to be constant. The nonlinear system in such cases can be linearized and transfer function of the system is obtained. But a proper controller is required to manipulate the current through the magnet coil. The simplest contr...

Large-volume conventional magnetic shields

2014 Increasing demand for low-field regions of large volumes has resulted in the construction of many magnetically-shielded walk-in rooms. Most have been of the cubic, two-layer high-03BC type, but several have used three layers, including one built by this author about three years ago. This room used several innovations, including "shaking" to increase the permeability of the magnetic sheets....
