Abstract:
A conceptual model of electro-magnetic suspension system is presented. The goal is to provide
better performance and smooth operation than the conventional one. Two electro-magnets are
used to use the repulsive force to withstand and suspend the vehicle and riders loads. The system
is set up on the basis of simple magnetic principal that same poles repeal each other while
opposite poles attract each other. Two electro-magnets have been set up facing same poles. They
were allowed to slide up and down along a guide. Electricity has been supplied to the electromagnets
to magnetize them. While being magnetized, they tend to repel each other. Then,
measured small cumulative masses have been added on top of the upper magnet. By doing this,
maximum force generated by the electromagnets has been measured. The force generated is also
measured by Simulation tool ANSYS. Then both the experimental results and simulated results
have been compared.
