Undergrad Magnet moving over surface creating levitation
Sorry, I was on my phone, I should be a little more detailed. There exists a system called the Inductrack where they essentially move a halbach array at a velocity over a track. This induces circular eddy currents in the track, which in turn produce an upwards magnetic field. In theory, the...- vidur27

Undergrad Magnet moving over surface creating levitation
Hi, I've been doing reading on Halbach Arrays moving over surfaces and generating repulsive forces. From my understanding, the moving magnet induces a circular electric current in the metal track, which gives rise to a magnetic field. However, I'm having trouble understanding why this field...- vidur27
