PSEUDO-DIAMAGNETIC SUSPENSION AND PSEUDO-DIADIELECTRONIC SUSPENSION

摘要

A system for levitating or suspending an object through the use of magnetic or electric fields wherein a primary magnetic field, for example, is established in an operating region so as to have its energy density divergence oriented in a preselected direction and a secondary magnetic field is generated so that its flux lines in the operating region are in a direction opposite to the primary field. The total magnetic field in this operating region common to both fields is detected and the field strength of the secondary field is controlled in accordance therewith so that the detected field strength is diminished. The consequent forces on the field generating means can be used for levitation or suspension. Thus, if the primary magnetic field generating means is fixedly mounted, the object which is then a part of the secondary magnetic field generating means can be levitated, and vice-versa.
