Electronics, smart power, and new electrical and mechanical devices are the key to an entirely different type of launch system. Using a LIM (linear induction motor) as the prime mover, these systems ...

The EMALS’ 300-foot (91 m) LIM will accelerate a 100,000-pound (45,000 kg) aircraft to 130 knots (240 km/h,150 mph). The Electromagnetic Launch System (EMALS), produced by General Atomics ...

Today, this competitive advantage makes magnetic launch coasters the most widely used roller coaster system across the ... Linear induction motors (LIM) and linear synchronous motors (LSM).
