1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Magnetic levitation technology has been receiving increasing attention because it helps eliminate frictional losses due to mechanical contact. Some engineering applications include high-speed maglev trains, magnetic bearings and high-precision platforms. The basic concept of this magnetic levitation is to hover an object in space. So, the basic aim of this project is to design a magnetic control system that is based upon the work to be done in two different technologies that is properties of varying electromagnetic fields and control system using a digital designing of switching based electromagnetic field using operational amplifiers and Hall Effect sensors.
