Development and Manufacture of a Linear Induction Motor Propulsion System for the Tracked Air Cushion Research Vehicle.

摘要

The report describes the design of a linear induction motor (LIM) electrical propulsion system for a tracked air cushion research vehicle (TACRV). System and component design drawings are included. Optimization and tradeoff study results are summarized. Applicable publications referenced include those containing electrical,mechanical,and thermal analyses conducted during the design effort,and laboratory tests to derive critical design data and prove selected design concepts. This propulsion system provides 10,000-lb continous thrust and 15,000-lb short-duty thrust at TACRV speeds of 0to 300mph. Weight-to-thrust and volume-to-thrust ratios are significantly better than other current systems. (Author)
