Project
Project Name: Experiments in Electrodynamic Levitation and Torodial Dipole Moment
Project Leaders: Ian Bean, Yves Laurent Tchatchoua, John Austin Raymer, Kiarash Akhlaghi Feizasar, & Douglas Goncz
Chapter Advisors: Walerian Majewski, PhD
Project Description: The purpose of this proposal is twofold. First is to complete a presentable laboratory model of inductive magnetic levitation of a rotating circular Halbach array supported and stabilized by a system of inductive coils, as an axial and radial electrodynamic bearings. Second is to explore properties of a physical model of a toroidal dipole moment.
