Fabrication of non-contact carrier system using solar magnetic suspension

A solar-powered magnetic suspension carrier is fabricated which achieves noncontact power supply to the carrier. There are two conventional methods of supplying power to a carrier. One is through wires or contacts such as pantograph and the other is an on-board battery in the carrier. However, the c...
