Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...
The first linear motor was conceived by Wheatstone more than 100 years ago. But large air gaps and low efficiencies prevented linear motors from being widely used. Though they still have relatively ...

Linear motors are very quick and precise for positioning, but are also capable of slow, constant-traverse speed for machine heads and slides, as well as tool and part-handling systems. A variety of ...
The USS Gerald R. Ford, the Navy's newest aircraft carrier, was the first to successfully test launch an aircraft using an electromagnetic launch system (EMALS). The mission and function of EMALS will ...

What is an induction motor? How do induction motors work? Induction motors induce a current into an electromagnetic rotor in ...
READERS of a certain age may remember “Fireball XL5”, a children’s television programme devised by Gerry Anderson about a spacecraft of that name. Instead of taking off vertically, as real spacecraft ...
