Outline of Final Research Achievements

A magnetic suspension carrier system is fabricated that works with non-contact power supply. A conventional method of supplying power to a carrier is usually based on through contacts or wires. This research proposes a non-contact magnetic suspension carrier system using solar power generation technique, which needs no external power supply. In rooms, the solar cells produce small power in low illuminance environment. The magnetic suspension carrier system using solar cells needs to be operated with low power. The fabricated magnetic suspension carrier consumed 180mW in the steady state of non-contact suspension. The carrier were placed under an illuminance of 10[klx] during approximately 3 days. The generated power supplied for the magnetic suspension and the battery charging. The illuminance was turned off after 3 days and the carrier used the battery power. The magnetic suspension carrier was achieved standalone suspension for 5 days.
