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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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