Abstract
A conveyor system includes multiple carts that move along a track, along with a plurality of induction motors located along the track to propel the cart. Each cart includes a flipper, and each linear induction motor includes a first linear stator extending along a longitudinal axis of the motor and a second linear stator extending parallel to the first linear stator and positioned a distance away from the first linear stator. As the flipper of the cart passes between the first linear stator and the second linear stator, the cart is propelled along the track.
