Modern developments in linear induction machines for electromagnetic launch systems The history of electromagnetic launch using linear motors is outlined; this dates back to the Electropult system developed by Westinghouse in the 1940s. Modern developments in electromagnetic aircraft and leisure ride launch are described. These modern systems and use double-sided linear machines and variable frequency power electronic converters and are considerably improved over the earlier form. Two recent novel developments in linear induction motor systems are described.
