Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/059478
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides, in some aspects, a magnetic levitation transport system with a guideway having rails with propulsion windings extending therealong and defining first and second diverging paths. A vehicle disposed on the guideway has T-shaped propulsion pods extending toward to the guideway.
