Abstract:The Segmented Rail Phased Induction Motor (SERAPHIM) has been proposed as a propulsion method for urban maglev transit, advanced monorail, and other forms of high speed ground transportation. In this report we describe the technology, consider different designs, and examine its strengths and weaknesses.-3-

SERAPHIM technology appears capable of efficiently driving a tip driven fan. If the motor is powered using an inverter and resonant circuit, the size and weight could be considerably below that of a comparable rotary electric motor.
