Linear disc motor
Equipment
Seen in the image is a linear disc motor that was made by the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Madras. A linear induction motor is a device which can produce thrust along a straight line without the help of a crank or lever arrangement for converting rotary motion to linear motion. The main applications of such a motor can be seen in the doors of lifts, high-speed ground transportation, low speed belt conveyors and impeller drives without a separate motor. The person seen in the image is yet to be identified.
