Abstract :
Stability and controllability are the core topics for any maglev system. An active magnetic array is introduced and used in the novel maglev configuration. The proposed passive EDS system uses Halbach arrays for self-regulation and levitation with active magnet arrays for stability and ride comfort control. The system is self-regulated in the lateral, roll, pitch, and yaw directions. The system configuration, stiffness, and levitation dynamic are investigated.
