Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If current magnetic levitation systems use magnets, specialized rails, cooling systems, and batteries, then levitation function is achieved, but energy consumption increases and heat generation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional electromagnetic levitation systems with a diamagnetic repulsion field system. The flux field generator creates a diamagnetic field that repels the vehicle from the track, eliminating the need for complex electromagnets, cooling systems, and battery packs while reducing energy consumption and heat generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental physical parameter from electromagnetic attraction to diamagnetic repulsion. By utilizing the diamagnetic properties of materials to create a repulsive field, the system achieves levitation with lower energy input and without the heat generation problems associated with conventional electromagnetic systems.
2Ease of operation
If wheels are used for low speed and stopping, then vehicle control is improved, but safety concerns and inefficiencies arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the stopping and low-speed control function from the mechanical wheel system and transfers it to the diamagnetic field system. By modulating the strength of the diamagnetic repulsion field, the vehicle can be slowed down and stopped without contacting the track, eliminating safety concerns associated with wheel-rail contact.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the diamagnetic field as an intermediary between the vehicle and the track for all control operations. Instead of direct mechanical contact through wheels, the field acts as a mediator to provide propulsion, levitation, braking, and positioning functions, improving both safety and efficiency.
