Summary:: I have to show to my university class an innovative feasible project. It's about new generation Highways, based on the Inductrack model. There are a lot of questions that I have to ask to know if it's a feasible project, so if there is someone patient that have time to answer all my questions and help me solve my issues I'll be very grateful.
The idea is to insert in each wheel of a car two rings of permanent magnets, that will allow to levitate the vehicle on a flat track made of thin aluminum sheets covered with a pattern of laminated conductor strings shorted at their end that forms a close packed array.
My primary issues are these:
-Best structure of magnetic rings/magnets itself (dimensions, type of magnets, magnetic strength ecc.)
-Possible structure of rails with closed packed arrays for passive levitation ( how the vehicle reach stability, rail material (aluminium?), arrays structure, dimensions ecc.)
-Compatibility for most vehicles
-Feasibility study of magnetic rails splitter
-Propulsion system using magnets/electromagnets on the rail
-Brake
-Energy consume of the system for each vehicle on different speed
-Efficency of the system, L/D ratio
