This Levited transporter is known as “ELECTROMAGNETIC CONVEYOR”. This conveyor is different fromother more conventional, industrial conveyor in that it requires surface contact for traction and it is able to move freelyover a variety of surface while supported continuously on a self-generated levitation of air. Though the concept isdifferent, the rate of development of Levied conveyor has been outstandingly faster than that of any other mode ofconveying. We thought on the lines of improving his design from the aspect of reducing the Vibration and frictionalresistances encountered by a conveyor moving on the guide rails. We struck upon the idea of using magnets in steps onthe track, which would help to guide the material more gradually without any shock and vibration. To reduce jerks anduneven movement the magnetic affect must increase and vice versa. Most normal designs are a compromise between thetwo. We imagined that if we could introduce a coil between the two separated guide rails a great magnetic field can becreated and by the control system the problem of conveying from start to end can be effectively minimized
