Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If magnetic levitation principle is used to lift the skateboard, then the skateboard can be suspended and achieve movement, but huge amount of energy is needed and battery life is limited to seven minutes
Solution Approach 1:
The power system is divided into multiple independent power segments (first power segment, second power segment, third power segment, fourth power segment) distributed at different locations. Each segment can operate independently or in coordination, allowing energy distribution optimization and reducing overall power consumption while maintaining suspension capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic levitation system uses periodic modulation of magnetic fields to maintain suspension. The control module periodically adjusts the power output of different segments to maintain stable levitation, reducing continuous high energy consumption while preserving reliable suspension.
2Reliability
If superconducting magnet is used for driving force, then the skateboard can achieve movement, but it can only operate on non-ferrous metal surfaces and cannot be played freely
Solution Approach 1:
The power segments are designed with multi-functional capability to work with different surface types. The system can adapt its magnetic field configuration to operate on non-ferrous metal surfaces, ferrous metal surfaces, and other ground surfaces, making the skateboard universally applicable across diverse environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The control module dynamically adjusts magnetic field parameters (strength, distribution, polarity) based on the detected surface type. By changing operational parameters in real-time, the system maintains movement capability across different surface compositions without requiring separate systems for each surface type.
3Force
If magnetic levitation skateboard is designed to bear 300 pounds weight, then it can support human body, but the cost increases to about ten thousand dollars
Solution Approach 1:
The load bearing system is segmented into multiple independent power segments that share the total weight support load. Each segment handles a portion of the 300 pounds weight, allowing use of smaller, less expensive magnetic components while collectively achieving the required load bearing capacity, thereby reducing overall manufacturing cost.
4Power
If Hendo Hoverboard is designed with optical disc-shaped engines, then it can generate powerful thrust, but direction control has certain defects
Solution Approach 1:
The thrust generation system is divided into four independently controllable power segments positioned at different locations. Each segment can be controlled individually to produce thrust in specific directions, enabling precise directional control by coordinating the thrust output of different segments rather than relying on a single undifferentiated thrust source.
Solution Approach 2:
Each power segment has localized control capability, allowing independent adjustment of thrust magnitude and direction at each location. This local quality control enables fine-tuned directional management by varying the thrust characteristics of individual segments based on desired movement direction.
