Basics Of MagLev Transportation

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the basics of MagLev(Magnetic Levitation) transportation systems and then to go on todescribe how spin wave technology can be utilized to improve the designof the magnetic systems used for levitation and propulsion in thesesystems. The primary advantage of spin wave technology overconventional electromagnetic systems is that the MagLev rails orMagLev guide ways can be dispensed with and the transportationcompartment can be made to push against spin waves present in anytype of ground material. This claim sounds extraordinary but in thischapter it will be explained in simple terms how it is possible.

There are two main processes taking place in MagLev systems:levitation and propulsion. Electromagnetic systems are used for bothfunctions. Usually, each electromagnetic system works independentlyof the other but some systems combine the electromagnetic designsinto one system that both lifts and propels. Both the levitation and thepropulsion functions are based on utilizing the push of opposing magneticfields and/or the pull of attracting magnetic fields.

Here are some links to give you the basics of the EM(electromagnetic) theory involved.

Now that you have an idea of what MagLev levitation andpropulsion is all about, we will explain how spin wave technology canbe utilized to design an improved MagLev system. Some basic designchanges are made to utilize the characteristics of spin waves. LaterMagLev design examples are given that will seem impractical usingconventional magnetic levitation equipment but this is just to givepreliminary insight into how it can be done using spin waves.

Propagation Velocity in MagLev Systems

To describe how to use spin waves for a MagLev system,comparisons are made to a MagLev system using LSMs (LinearSynchronous Motors) or LIMs (Linear Induction Motors). The forwardspeed of the bogie (train compartment) of a MagLev system that usesLSMs is determined by the propagation velocity of the electromagneticfields of the guide rail coils that push against the magnets of the bogie.The frequency and wavelength of the electromagnetic fields that do thepushing have to be considered.

The velocity of an electromagnetic wave in free space is referredto as “c”.

This velocity is constant and is approximately c = 3*108 meters/second. This velocity is established by the coefficient of inductivepermeability and coefficient of capacitive permittivity of space itself.

Diagram of an Electromagnetic Wave in Free Space

The velocity of an electromagnetic wave moving along a singlewire is about 95% of the velocity in free space. This is due to theinductance down the length of the wire and the capacitive coupling ofthe surface of the wire to free space. Keep in mind that even thoughelectromagnetic signals move along the wire at almost the velocity oflight, the current of electrons within the wire will have an average drift

in one direction or the other at a much lower velocity in reaction to thechanging electromagnetic signals on the wire. This is called drift current.

Diagram of an Electromagnetic Wave in a Wire

The velocity of an electromagnetic wave in a coaxial cable isslower still than an electromagnetic wave along a single wire. It istypically around 65-75% of the velocity in free space. This is due to theinductive and capacitive coupling to the coaxial shield. It takes moretime as a signal moves along the wire to charge up the capacitancebetween the wire and the shield. There is also self inductance of thecenter conductor and finally a mutual inductance with the shield suchthat a changing magnetic field from the signal moving along the wireinduces current in the opposite direction in the shield. This in turngenerates its own magnetic field which induces a CEMF (counterelectromotive force) opposing and thus slowing the propagation of thesignal along the wire.

Diagram of an Electromagnetic Wave in a Coax Cable

The propagation velocity of an electromagnetic wave through aseries of large coils and large capacitors is slower still. This is due to themuch greater time it takes to charge up the capacitors and to overcomethe greater self-inductance of the coils.

Diagram of an Electromagnetic Wave in a Seriesof Coils and Capacitors

For MagLev propulsion systems, the propagation of the signalenergizing the succession of coils along the guide rails can be sloweddown even more by simply switching on each coil in succession at therate desired.

In each of the above examples the propagation velocity gets slowerand slower and the physical wavelength of the electromagnetic wave

gets shorter and shorter compared to the wavelength of the samefrequency electromagnetic wave in free space.

The system of electromagnetic coils and capacitors has the effectof compressing the wavelength and slowing the propagation of the signal.If the coil excitation frequency is 10 Hz (10 Hertz = 10 cycles persecond) for example, this equates to an electromagnetic wavelength infree space of:

(1 divided by (10 cycles per second)) x (3x108 meters per second)= 3x107 meters

This wave travels through space at a velocity of 3x108 meters persecond.

to Wavelength in Series of Coils and Capacitors

If a MagLev system used a succession of coils and capacitorsalong the MagLev guide rails then it is the propagation velocity of theelectromagnetic coil excitation signal that determines the velocity of thebogie. In a MagLev system using LSMs the bogie will move exactly atthe propagation velocity. In a MagLev system using LIMs the bogiewill have a certain amount of slip and will travel at a somewhat slowerrate than the propagation velocity of the electromagnetic coil excitationsignal that pushes and pulls on the magnetic fields of the bogie.

It is necessary to be able to adjust the propagation velocity inorder to control the bogie velocity and this can be done in various ways.Adjusting the capacitance between the coils can change the propagationvelocity but this alone is not very practical. One way to solve this problemis to have a switched system in which the guide way coils can beswitched on and off in a faster or slower succession.

Another solution is to have a succession of excitation coils drivenby a succession of multiple phases of the same AC coil excitation signal.This then becomes the same as a multi-pole rotary motor coil that hasbeen laid out flat. The multiple phases of a higher frequency coil excitationsignal will drive the excitation coils at a faster succession rate. Thepropagation velocity of the coil excitation signal then becomes dependantof the frequency of the excitation signal. This allows the bogie to beeasily accelerated by simply increasing the frequency of the coil excitationsignal. There will likely still be various values of capacitors switched inalong the succession of coils to maintain an optimum power correction

factor for various ranges of coil excitation frequencies. Also, only thoseexcitation coils will be driven that are where the bogie is at any particulartime rather than all the excitation coils along the whole length of theguide rails.

Now let’s get back to analyzing the whole thing in terms of how itcan be implemented using spin waves to propel the bogie. For bogiesdriven by LSMs, the wavelength of the coil excitation signal will matchthe pitch (spacing between North-South-North-South poles) of the bogiemagnets. The bogie magnets have static magnetic fields that push andpull against the magnetic fields of the drive coils along the guide rails.

Diagram of magnetic fields of bogie and guide rail coils

The North-South-North-South fields of the drive coils can bethought of like teeth on a timing belt. It’s the propagation velocity of thebelt that matters and the pitch of the teeth will match the pitch of thebogie magnets. Since the magnetic fields of the bogie magnets are staticthey can be said to have a propagation velocity along the bogie of zero.A more generalized equation for the bogie velocity would be as follows:

v1 = Propagation Velocity of Guide Rail Drive Coils’ MagneticFields

v2 = Propagation Velocity of Bogie Magnetic Fields

vb = Bogie Velocity

vb = v2 – v1

This means that if the bogie’s magnetic fields propagation velocityis zero then:

vb = v1

Also, if there are magnetic fields on the bogie moving at the samerate and direction as the magnetic fields of the guide rail drive coilsthen:

v1 = v2

vb = v1 – v2 = 0 so the bogie will not move. This is like walking atthe same speed but in the wrong direction on an escalator or an airportmoving walkway.

Propagation Velocity in MagLev Systems

If the propagation velocity of the bogie’s magnetic fields is in theopposite direction then the bogie velocity will be:

v2 = - v1

vb = v1 – (-v1) = 2 * v1

Now consider a system where there are standing waves on thedrive coils such that the drive magnetic fields are toggling in North-South orientation but that have a propagation velocity of zero.

and toggling drive coil magnetic fields

It is also possible for there to be standing waves on the bogiemagnetic field coils making bogie magnetic fields that are toggling inNorth-South orientation but that have a propagation velocity of zero.

Animated diagram of bogie magnetic field coils’ signal

and toggling bogie magnetic fields

If both the bogie and the guide rail coils have standing waves thenthere is a way to propel the bogie. The phase of the standing waves ofthe bogie relative to the standing waves of the guide way drive coils canbe adjusted so that the two sets of magnetic fields push against eachother in one direction or the other depending on the direction and amountof phase shift. However, once the phase shift causes the bogie to bepushed to a new position, the phases will be back in alignment. Tomaintain a phase shift, the bogie’s standing waves must not be perfectstanding waves but will need to have a small propagation velocity inaddition to being standing waves. Then the bogie’s velocity will equalthe propagation velocity of its partially standing waves/partially travelingwaves.

Levitating with Spin Waves

If you have studied the various web links about Faraday’s Law,Lenz’s Law and the web links about various MagLev systems thenyou should already understand the theory of MagLev levitation.Modifications to these basic designs will be described to explain how itwould be done with spin waves. Repelling and/or attracting forces ofthe guideway magnetic fields with the bogie magnetic fields will push orpull a bogie up causing it to levitate.

There will be alternating magnetic field orientations along theguideway and alternating magnetic field orientations of the bogie’smagnetic fields. The phase of the bogie’s alternating magnetic fieldscan be adjusted to control the amount of repulsive and attractive forceswith the magnetic fields of the guideway. Previously, the amount offorward or reverse propulsion force on the bogie was described ascaused by adjusting the phase of the alternating magnetic fields. This isstill true. Now there will be another type of phase adjustment that canbe made to control the degree of levitation. To understand the differenceit is necessary to describe better how the magnetic fields of a guidewayand of a bogie are created using spin waves.

The magnetic fields of spin waves are caused not by current flowof electrons but by the changing spin axis orientations of electrons. Amagnetic field can be created by the flow of electrons through a coil ofwire as has already been described.

A magnetic field can also be created from many electron spinaxis orientations all pointing in a similar direction. Each individual electronwill already have its own little magnetic field associated with its ownparticle spin characteristics.

Diagram of electron spin and its magnetic field

When all the spin axes orientations point in a similar direction thenit makes a large macroscopic magnetic field.

Diagram of many electron spins and their magnetic field

The electron’s spin axis also has a tendency to precess like agyroscope.

Animated diagram of an electron spin precessingand its magnetic field

Many electron spin axes all precessing together at microwavefrequencies will send out microwave frequency electromagnetic waves.

Animated diagram of many electron spins precessingand their magnetic field

For our application we want all the electrons to precess togetherbut we don’t want to make large microwave frequency electromagneticwaves. There is a way to prevent this. For every electron that precessesclockwise we will have an electron that precesses counter-clockwise.The combined electromagnetic waves from these motions will canceleach other except for waves of changing magnetic field orientation.

Both North poles point the same way and then both South polespoint that same way. Now we need many electron pairs doing the samething. It is not important that their precession axes all be pointing similardirections but they do need to all lay in the same plane and precess inphase at the same rate such that all the North poles point a particulardirection and then all the South poles point that same direction.

but all in the same plane

Now we have a magnetic field that alternates North-South-North-South but it does not send out microwave frequency transverseelectromagnetic waves. These magnetic field waves can pull on similarmagnetic waves from the guideway that are alternating in phase.

Similarly, they can push against alternating magnetic fields fromthe guideway that are of opposite phase.

The phase changes associated with the attractive or repulsivebogie levitating forces are demonstrated below using just a pair ofelectrons of the guideway and one pair of electrons of the bogie.

However, the magnetic forces between the two are only everattractive or repulsive if the magnetic fields diverge as opposed to beingcompletely homogeneous.

Before this line of explaining things continues, it may be necessaryto first explain more about naturally occurring alternating magnetic waveswithin materials and to explain about diverging magnetic fields fromlarge bodies of material that are experiencing this phenomena. Pleaseread the next chapter, Diverging Alternating Magnetic Fields (Chapter44).

Diverging Alternating Magnetic Fields

If a small magnetized sample of material is in a large magneticfield and it has become oriented such that its magnetic field is orientedwith the large magnetic field, then it is not the strength of the largemagnetic field alone that determines how strongly the small magneticsample is attracted. Rather, it is also the amount of divergence of thelarge magnetic field that determines how strongly the small sample isattracted towards the diverging magnetic fields.

Diagram of sample in non-diverging magnetic field

Diagram of sample in diverging magnetic field

This same phenomena is true when the strong magnetic field is analternating magnetic field. If a small sample of material is radiatingmagnetic waves that are in-phase with the magnetic waves of thediverging magnetic field, then both the strength and the amount ofdivergence affect how strongly the sample is attracted.

It is the natural tendency of paired electrons in orbitals around allatoms to precess clockwise and counter-clockwise and to develop in-phase magnetic waves among all of them. With a large body of atomslike the Earth, all of these in-phase magnetic waves add in strength.

Page 16: 41 Basics Of MagLev Transportation · 233 41 Basics Of MagLev Transportation The purpose of this chapter is to describe the basics of MagLev (Magnetic Levitation) transportation systems

248

However, this is not the only natural source of magnetic waves.There are also extremely high frequency precessional motions of quarkswithin protons and neutrons of all atoms. These motions generate theirown frequency of magnetic waves. These also have a natural tendencyto move to a state where all their magnetic fields alternate in phase.The typical transverse electric field components normally induced arecancelled due to the nature of the compensating precessional motionsfor sets of quarks and for pairs of electrons. The total attractive forceof the alternating magnetic fields of various frequencies that remainfrom all particle precessional motions within the Earth is equal to anaccelerating force of exactly 1G at sea level. In other words, gravitationalforce can be explained as caused by the attraction among all matter asa consequence of in-phase magnetic waves.

At any given distance out from the center of the Earth there willnot be perfect phase alignment among the magnetic waves that are allat that exact distance from the center. Instead there will be spin wavesand spin temperature fluctuations of the otherwise perfect phasealignment of these magnetic waves.

These magnetic waves are not the same as the following that youmay find if surfing the internet for “magnetic waves”:

The difference is that the magnetic waves described in the NASAarticles, as well as the other articles, are waves of changing magneticfield intensity and orientation over periods of perhaps 300 seconds ormore. However, the magnetic waves described in this paper are orientedalong the same direction that the magnetic waves travel, completelytoggle in direction of orientation and toggle at extremely high frequencies.The magnetic waves described in this chapter are radiating outward in

all directions from gravitational centers as opposed to directionssomewhat related to the orientation of magnetic poles of a large bodylike the sun.

The magnetic waves described in this chapter are present betweenall matter all of the time. The waves have associated with them a slightnatural attractive force towards any centers of divergence. As moremass accumulates at these centers this naturally causes the divergenceto increase. These diverging alternating magnetic waves have theattributes we associate with gravity.

Summary:Potential of Spin Wave Technology

Signal Processing:There are 2 basic forms of motion of all electrically charged

particles. Either they can change in position or change in spin axisorientation. Much of electronics today is based on the first of these 2forms of motion. Signal processing electronics can be advanced byusing devices based on the propagation of changing spin axis orientations.

Communications:Almost all forms of radio communication today are based on the

radiation of electromagnetic waves from electrically charged particlesthat move back and forth changing position. Communications technologycan be advanced by instead using electromagnetic waves radiated fromthe precessional rotations of electrically charged particles. Fluctuationscan be induced in and propagate through the sea of electromagneticstanding waves among all matter in the universe.

Power Generation:It should be possible to build spin wave lasers and spin wave

electrical power generation devices. It should be possible to absorbsome of the energy present in standing waves among all matter andconvert it to electricity to power electrical equipment. This can beaccomplished through spin wave interactions with the electromagneticstanding waves among all matter.

Propulsion:It should be possible to create and sustain spin wave processes

within a flying vehicle that utilizes a metallic resonant cavity, also servingas a “Faraday cage”. These spin wave processes can be used to shiftthe phase of the precessional motions of all atomic particles of thevehicle and its contents relative to the phase of standing waves radiatedto and from the precessional motions of all external matter. This cancreate electromagnetic forces between vehicle and these standing wavesamong all external matter. Force vectors can be controlled to lift andpropel the vehicle at very high speeds.

About the Author

George J Bugh grew up on a small ranch-farm in the hill countrynear Austin, Texas. His Father had been an officer in Air ForceIntelligence, working as a district director of the OSI and later workingat the Pentagon before he retired to Austin, Texas. After graduatingfrom high school in 1975, George Bugh also joined the Air Force wherehe became a specialist in the field of flight simulators.

After four years in the Air Force, he attended college and obtaineda bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering technology at the DeVryInstitute of Technology in Irving, Texas. After graduation he wasemployed by a major aerospace company, again working on flightsimulators.

Twenty years later George Bugh is a senior staff electronicsengineer. He works with electronics, electromagnetic devices and testequipment for research and testing of advanced aircraft designs usingflight simulation studies. On his own time he has made it his personalmission to figure out if there could be any truth to claims of excesselectrical power output from many unusual electromagnetic devicesdiscussed on the Web by different inventors. He has spent the lastseven years studying physics, relativity, the nature of time and spinwave processes.

His personal research and theories are not related to his day job.After receiving permission from his day job employer, George Bughhas given the copyrights to his research files to the Vasant Corporation.
