• goal is to use same principles at linear induction but to slow?
• it is entirely linear induction? - no permanent magnets?
• in what way does rotation aid?
• what is the max starting speed it can slow, and how long does that take?

A B field is applied to both sides of two conductive, non-ferromagnetic discs (rotors). - aka Al

The rotors are keyed to the aircraft wheel and rotate through the B field when the wheels are spinning.

As the rotors move across the stationary magnetic field, eddy currents are induced in the rotors according to Faraday’s law of induction. The eddy currents primarily circulate on the surface of each rotor.

Via Lenz’s law, the eddy currents generate their own magnetic field in a direction that opposes the stationary magnetic field. The interaction of these fields applies a drag force on the rotors that results in a braking torque. The torque produced is proportional to the angular velocity of the wheel.

The kinetic energy of the aircraft is converted into heat through the electrical resistivity of the metal rotors. The particular method of generating the magnetic field and its exact distribution is patent pending.
