Abstract
The rotation of an electrodynamic wheel (EDW) above a flat conductive, non-magnetic, track induces currents in the track that can create lift and thrust/braking force. This paper presents a new type of dual-EDW that consists of two EDWs in series that can also create a controllable lateral force. The magnitude and direction of the lateral force can be changed via the relative phase angle shifting of the two rotors. The changes in the lateral force magnitude as well as direction are shown to not affect the lift and thrust force magnitude. The geometric analysis of the design is presented and the practical difficulty of implementing the design is also discussed.
