Relation between Magnetic Poles and Characteristics of Revolving Permanent Magnet Type Magnet Wheel

摘要

The authors had proposed the the revolving permanent manget type magnetic wheel called the "magnet wheel", which have both functions of induction repulsive type magnetic levitation and thrust. In this paper, the relation between magnetic poles and lift force or thrust characteristics is examined to grasp the performance. Five types of magnet wheels are discussed in the experimental study and four more types are used in the theoretical study with the three-dimensional numerical analysis.
