Abstract: Various propulsion motor topologies are provided. In particular, a propulsion motor is provided which includes: at least one ferromagnetic core having opposite ends joined by a body forming a magnetic flux pathway between the opposite ends; a magnetic flux inducing device to induce a first magnetic flux in the at least one ferromagnetic core along the magnetic flux pathway; and armature coils to induce a varying second magnetic flux in the at least one ferromagnetic core perpendicular to the magnetic flux pathway, to assist inducing a propulsion force perpendicular to the magnetic flux pathway. The at least one ferromagnetic core is shaped to form one or more total forces perpendicular to the propulsion force due to the first magnetic flux.

Abstract: A track switching arrangement for a track-based guided transportation system, wherein the track switching arrangement forms diverging pathways and enables vehicle-side switching of a vehicle in the guided transportation system. The track switching arrangement includes an upstream pathway; two downstream pathways; and a path switching transition region having the diverging pathways between the upstream pathway and the two downstream pathways. Each of the pathways includes track elements configured to interact with one or more respective bearings of the vehicle to provide levitation to the vehicle and/or guidance for the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle with offset propulsion motors is provided. The vehicle comprises: a body; and a plurality of propulsion motors at a side of the body, arranged in a line about parallel to a movement axis of the body. Displacements between adjacent propulsion motors along the movement axis are selected according to an electrical period of poles of the plurality of propulsion motors, and an offset distance. The offset distance is determined by dividing the electrical period into the offset distance to determine a remainder. The electrical period divided by the remainder is about equal to a number of the plurality of propulsion motors divided by a given integer value that is less than the number of the plurality of propulsion motors, and produces a largest common divider between the given integer value and the number of the plurality of propulsion motors of “1”.
