Applications of Maglev: Rocket Launching
Rocket Launching
The Proposed rocket launch system using maglev is called StarTram.
This System doesn't use rocket fuel, instead is based on the concept of a mass
driver. Also known as an electromagnetic catapult.
A mass driver acts like a coil gun to magnetically accelerate a magnetized
holder containing a payload.
Maglev frameworks could drastically decrease the expense of getting into
space since they are controlled by electricity, an economical wellspring of
vitality that stays on the ground not at all like rocket fuel that adds weight and
cost to dispatch vehicle.
APPLICATIONS OF MAGLEV
Maglev Fan
Structure
APPLICATIONS OF MAGLEV
Maglev Fan
The resulting interaction between the maglev plate and the magnet pulls the
rotor downward along the entire 360-degree surface.
Due to lower centre of gravity, the rotor runs in more stable consistent orbit.
APPLICATIONS OF MAGLEV
Flywheels
A maglev flywheel with a shaftless carbon fiber rotor that requires only one
axis of active control.
The shaftless design eliminates resonances over a wide operating speed
range, so the flywheel is usable for both energy storage and attitude control.
APPLICATIONS OF MAGLEV
Household fixtures and decorations
