VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to magnetically suspended vehicles furnished with magnetic platform resting on track. Front steerable and rear hub-motor wheels are made retractable by means of hydraulic mechanisms. Housing accommodates internal combustion engine connected with dc generator. Bearing magnetic platform is arranged in lower part of housing. Said platform is connected to vehicle bottom by means of four hydraulic supports. Magnetic platform is essentially rectangular plate made of nonmagnetic material inside which permanent magnets in form of bars are press-fitted, being installed vertically and pointed to side of support permanent magnets of track by their like poles. Controlled electric motors are arranged in cutouts of bearing magnetic platform and they are supplied from dc generator. Magnetic track for vehicle is formed by plates placed one close to the other along dividing in both directions. Support permanent magnets in form of bars are press-fitted inside each plate being installed vertically and pointed to side of bearing magnetic plate of vehicle by like poles.

EFFECT: improved operating characteristics of magnetically suspended vehicles.
