Linear Induction Motor
2017
This was the final project of Electric Machinery Fundamentals-I lab. I used iron core from old transformer to build the basic structure. Copper windings were placed by an expert mechanic. While working on this project, I came to know an interesting fact that the ultra-modern MagLev train in China, Japan and some European countries actually work on a similar principle.
Linear Induction Motor: Project
Materials used
E-type laminated iron core (200 pcs)
Copper wire (27 gauge, 2kg)
Aluminium sheet (1pc, 12"*4")
Brief Description
3 Copper windings are placed sequentially on the laminated iron core. When ac power is supplied, a linear force is generated according to the law of electromagnetic induction. It induces motion in the Aluminum sheet and the sheet travels linearly.
