The EMALS is an electromagnetic catapult that relies upon a linear induction motor, rather than a traditional steam piston, ...

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 ...

An inventor traces the evolution of a single engineering idea, from Michael Faraday’s first motors to levitating trains ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are a type of electric motor that produce linear motion instead of rotational motion. They are widely used in various applications, including transportation systems ...

For instance, a study introduced an improved loss model for linear induction motors (LIMs) used in metro systems, which considers the impact of time harmonics on efficiency. This model allows for ...
