ABSTRACT:
A railway system utilizes a discontinuous linear motor for the propulsion of a train composed of a plurality of transport units joined end-to-end, each including a group of vehicles normally maintained coupled to each other. The transport units are of the same length L and carry secondary elements of the linear motor at regular intervals. A track for the train has active sections incorporating primary inductors of the motor and separated by inactive track sections having no primary elements. The primary inductors within an active track section are disposed at regular intervals L, from center to center. In the active track sections, the linear motor provides power to the train proportional to the number of transport units.
