Electromagnetic propulsion System

About the project

Electromagnetic propulsion (EMP), is the principle of accelerating an object by the flowing electrical current and magnetic fields. The electrical current is used to create an opposing magnetic field for repell. When a current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, an electromagnetic force known as a Lorentz force, pushes the conductor to perpendicular to the conductor and the magnetic field.

The difference between EMP and propulsion achieved by electric motors is that the electrical energy used for EMP is not used to produce rotational energy for motion though both use magnetic fields and a flowing electrical current.

The Lorentz force refers to the effects of the magnetic field resulting from the flow of current through a loop. the current through the conductors cause a magnetic field

The mobile component is arranged which has to be propelled, an electricity is passed which creates the lorentz force , magnetic field. Both the moving component and emp of conducting materials and reacts on magnetic field

Due to magnetic forces produced during the process, the repelling forces are produced and thus produces the thrust required to move the projectile or moving component to very high speed velocity

Electromagnetic propulsion is utilized in transportation systems to minimize friction and maximize speed over long distances,implementing in high-speed rail systems that use a linear induction motor to power trains by magnetic currents

Electromagnetic propulsion are also used to control fine adjustments of orbiting satellites as well as the roller coasters in theme park
