Spin Stabilized Magnetic Levitation of Horizontal Rotors
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present an analysis of a new configuration for achieving spin stabilized magnetic levitation. In the classical configuration, the rotor spins about a vertical axis; and the spin stabilizes the lateral instability of the top in the magnetic field. In this new configuration the rotor spins about a horizontal axis; and the spin stabilizes the axial instability of the top in the magnetic field.

Spin stabilized magnetic levitation
The stability of the Levitron cannot be explained if the top’s axis has a fixed direction in space. Stability against flipping is not enough. Gyroscopic precession around the local magnetic field direction is necessary. An analysis and numerical integration of the equations of motion for an experimental stemless top that includes gyroscopic precession around the local magnetic field lines predi...
متن کاملTest and theory of electrodynamic bearings coupled to active magnetic dampers
Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are passive magnetic bearings that exploit the interaction between eddy currents developed in a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field to generate forces. Similar to other types of magnetic suspensions, EDBs provide contactless support, thus avoiding problems with lubrication, friction and wear. Electrodynamic bearings have also drawbacks such as the diffi...
متن کاملTuned Parameters of PID for Optimization of Losses in Magnetic Levitation System
In this paper a new method is proposed for determining PID controller parameters in order to decrease losses in levitation system of magnetic trains. It is assumed that this system is a hybrid system and it consists of electric and permanent magnet. For optimization of losses initially AC losses of magnetic levitation system are calculated. Linear model of levitation system as well as modeling ...
متن کاملDiamagnetically stabilized magnet levitation
Stable levitation of one magnet by another with no energy input is usually prohibited by Earnshaw’s Theorem. However, the introduction of diamagnetic material at special locations can stabilize such levitation. A magnet can even be stably suspended between (diamagnetic) fingertips. A very simple, surprisingly stable room temperature magnet levitation device is described that works without super...
متن کاملAn Approach to Fuzzy Modeling of Magnetic Levitation Systems
This paper proposes an approach to fuzzy modeling of magnetic levitation systems. These unstable and nonlinear processes are first linearized around several operating points, and next stabilized by a State Feedback Control System (SFCS) structure. Discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models of the stabilized processes are derived on the basis of the modal equivalence principle, and the rule ...
