A Review of Modeling, Design and Performance Assessment of Linear Electromagnetic Motors for High-Speed Transportation Systems

Mario Paolone, André Hodder, Lucien André Félicien Pierrejean, Simone Rametti

Linear electromagnetic motors (LEMs) have been proposed, developed and used to propel high-speed (i.e. speed > 100 m/s) levitating vehicles. However, few real implementations have demonstrated the feasibility of these machines at such speeds. Furthermore, ...

Laser Doppler Vibrometer measurements of the 3D pressure field for the estimation of the radiation force produced by an acoustic standing-wave levitator

Amit Yedidia Dolev

Acoustic levitation devices use powerful ultrasonic standing waves to levitate objects in mid-air. We have created a system and method to measure the full harmonic content of the acoustic field accurately. Our study revealed that levitated particles alter ...

Towards optical MAS magnetic resonance using optical traps

Giovanni Boero, Nergiz Sahin Solmaz, Reza Farsi, Jens Anders

Higher magic angle spinning (MAS) frequencies than currently available are desirable to improve spectral resolution in NMR and EPR systems. While conventional strategies employ pneumatic spinning limited by fluid dynamics, this paper demonstrates the devel ...
