TRANS FLUX MOTOR ABSTRACT Trans Flux Motor, principle of it and along with the concept of Magnetic Levitation

iscomprised in this project and it mainly deals with the study of Linear induction motor (LIM), alsocalled, Trans flux motor (TFM). It has also as its aim the design, analysis, and fabrication of a 4pole, 12 slot, 3 phase linear induction motor. Before embarking on the theory of the illustrationitem, a comparison has been made with rotary machines to help understand more fully theimportance and the need for Trans flux motor. Prior to this, in the same section, the mainsubject is described in brief. Also the performance calculations, various tests conducted and applications were specified in subsequent chapters. 1

TRANS FLUX MOTOR INTRODUCTION T h e a c h i e v e m e n t s o f 0 6 0 m p h s p e e d s i n j u s t 6 0 s e c o n d s , t h e f o r c e i n t h e propulsion jet of a rocket with speeds of 0 400 mph would have been still beyond reality andwould be imaginary unless the concept of magnetic levitation is invented.In this fast growing and developing world scenario, one now concentrates, not onthe technology but on the efficiency of the technology invented.So, this thesis gives a vivid idea and descr iption of the so said concept, magnetic levitation, and maglev. T h e u s a g e o f s u p e r c o n d u c t o r s i s o u t - w o r n w i t h t h e i n v e n t i o n o f maglev, as the disadvantage, i.e. cooling, in the usage of former is overcome by the later.The principle of maglev, null flux w as first invented and developed by Prof. EricLaithwaite. Today, the same principle is widely employed in high-speed ground transportationand trains based on magnetic levitation.The best example for the illustration of the maglev is a Trans Flux Motor, TFM, or inother words a Linear Induction Motor.This chapter gives a brief description about the basic difference between the basicrotary machine and linear motion electric machine (LMEM), and also about why these types of machines are employed in modern industry and in high speed transportation systems. This alsocovers the main advantages of LMEM over ordinary traditional rotating machines.T h e r o t a r y m o t i o n d e v e l o p e d , i n t h e r o t a t i o n a l m a c h i n e s , i s b a s e d o n t h e consideration of electromagnetic forces employed in machine. So also, in LMEMs the same force is employed to produce motion, to be precise, linear motion.In principle, there is a linear counterpart of every rotary motion electrical machines.Further, LMEMs can be sub divided into Linear Induction Machine (LIM) Linear Synchronous Machine (LSM) Linear Levitation Machine (LLM) 2

TRANS FLUX MOTOR BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LMEMs AND ROTATING MACHINES: I n o r d e r t o m a k e o u t c e r t a i n d i f f e r e n c e s b e t w e e n a n L M E M a n d i t s r o t a r y counterpart, we consider a polyphase rotary induction motor.By an imaginary process, let us suppose that this device can be transformed into anLIM if the rotary motor is cut along a radial plane and unrolled . The primary (core and winding), now has a finite length, called the active length of the LIM, andp h e n o m e n o n o f e n d e f f e c t s ( e d g e e f f e c t s ) w h i c h i s u n i q u e t o L M E M s a n d d o e s n o t e x i s t i n conventional rotating machines.Linear motors potentially have unlimited applications. Linear induction motors (LIMs) alone have found application in the following general areas: conveyor

systems, materialhandling and storage, people movers, liquid metal pumping, accelerators and launchers,machine tool operation, airport baggage handling, opening and closing drapes , operation of sliding doors and low and medium speed trains. For low speed applications both flat and tubular 3
