  • Automobile transport is one of the widely used mode of transport, but it limitations are enormous especially relying on non-renewable energy resources for fuel and staggering amount of pollution caused by fuelling of the internal combustion engine which is very harmful to the environment. Alternative modes of transport using renewable energy resources can help to cut back on greenhouse gasses and reduce air pollution. In addition, personal transport systems such as electric scooter, electric skateboard, are being developed in order to avoid congestion due to traffic and for eco-friendly way of transport.
  • Magnetic levitation allows non-contact movement and thus wear-free support of both rotating and linearly moving parts. Magnetic levitation uses the concept of a magnets natural repulsion to poles of the same kind, this repulsion can be harnessed in an environment to help create a system of transportation that is congestion free and faster than most methods of transportation at this point.
  • Magnetic levitation is highly influenced by the type of magnets used including permanent magnets, electromagnetic magnets and superconductive magnets. The concept of magnetic levitation is applied in developing novelty toys, exhibiting products, transport system and conveying systems.
  • In addition to speed and energy efficiency, the transport systems based on magnetic levitation offers no pollution, no congestion, no noise, hassle-free and aesthetically pleasing mode of transport and also independent of fossil fuels or non-renewable energy resources.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,375,531 shows a magnetic levitation system comprising superconductor body. U.S. Pat. No. 6,502,517 discloses an arrangement for operating a transportation system with a magnetic levitation vehicle. U.S. Pat. No. 6,359,767 shows an apparatus for controlling magnetic levitation system.
  • Accordingly, there exists a need for an alternate transport system using magnetic levitation thus providing rapid, pollution-free and hassle-free transport.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
