The Russian Federation is located at the crossroads of the trade routes of the Eurasian continent, where a significant volume of the transport flow of the world’s trade is formed. The transport potential of the territory of Russia, when implemented as an Integral Transit Transport System (ITTS), is comparable to the benefits from the traditional export of hydrocarbons and other raw materials. Analyzing the efficiency of transport systems, the key is the energy approach. The concept of ITTS is considered, based on all known and being developed transport lines, including high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation transport (VMLT). The fundamental problems are discussed being on the way to achieving the maximal speed, energy efficiency and throughput of VMLT. The preliminary findings are presented obtained from experiments on the test model of the VMLT route. It is concluded that there is a need for a deeper study of the properties of magnetic and superconducting materials in extreme high fields, power and speed regimes to search for fundamentally new technical solutions for the creation of VMLT

Aim: The goal is to present a new asynchronous principle of operation of stepper motors, based on the use of counter-rotating (or traveling) magnetic fields. Method: A change in the degree of symmetry of one of these magnetic fields leads to the fact that the armature (rotor or secondary element) makes a precise discrete movement. Result: The force moving the armature of a stepper induction motor is created as a result of the interaction of eddy currents in the armature with a rotating or traveling magnetic field. Stepper induction motors can rotate the rotor at a certain angle and discretely move flat or cylindrical electrically conductive armatures, which can be smooth and non-magnetic. A separate group of motors for a discrete electric drive is made up of two-coordinate linear stepping asynchronous machines, which also operate using the same counter-running magnetic fields both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. Conclusion: The features of the design of such electric machines are presented, the values of the magnetic induction in different zones of a two-coordinate stepper motor are determined, the relations for calculating the steps of the armature in both the longitudinal and transverse directions are given.
