Abstract

A magnetic propulsion system is disclosed. The system includes a track assembly, and a vessel assembly. The track assembly includes at least rail that is stationary and non-powered, and includes a magnetic array. The vessel assembly includes a rotating metal plate that interacts with the magnetic array to propel the vessel assembly along the track assembly.

IPC Classes  ?

• B60L 13/04 - Magnetic suspension or levitation for vehicles
• E01B 25/30 - Tracks for magnetic suspension or levitation vehicles

Abstract

A system and method are disclosed herein that are configured to direct traffic along a guideway. The system and method are configured to allow a user to enter the guideway and travel along an optimized route based on a comparison of routes between a predetermined origin and destination. Various slots are defined along the guideway and the control server is configured to direct vehicles into predetermined slots based on tracking information for the vehicles.

IPC Classes  ?

• B60W 40/105 - Speed
• G05D 1/02 - Control of position or course in two dimensions
• B60W 40/06 - Road conditions

Abstract

A propulsion system is disclosed herein that includes a helical track or guideway, and a vehicle or vessel that travels along the guideway. Propellers are provided that are rotationally driven to propel the vessel along the guideway using propulsion, based on physical, magnetic or other means.
