ELECTRODYNAMIC PROPULSION UNIT Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC H02K51/00 

FIELD: electrical engineering and power-driven transport; driving vehicles of all kinds.

SUBSTANCE: proposed electrodynamic propulsion unit has inductor, armature, and ac power supply. In addition, it has electronic device with three pairs of electrodes. Inductor is made in the form of wound magnetic circuit with armature-accommodating gap. One of windings is connected to armature; leads of other winding are connected to polarizing electrodes. Its midpoint is connected to cathode and grounded. Its symmetrical taps are connected to orthogonal electric field electrodes and in phase opposition, to polarizing electrodes. Third winding is connected to ac power supply and through voltage changer, to electric arc electrodes, and also through capacitors, to second-winding leads.

EFFECT: reduced cost; reduced adverse effect of electromagnetic field onto environment; enhanced efficiency.
