Abstract
A linear electrodynamic machine includes mover and stator assemblies. The stator assembly includes an inner stator and an outer stator for defining a closed loop magnetic flux path. A magnet mounted on an outside portion of the stator assembly produces a constant flux extending through the magnetic flux path. The inner and outer stators form at least one pair of aligned spaced apart magnetic poles forming a gap. A group of slugs mounted on the mover assembly moves into and out of the gap to interact electrodynamically with the magnetic flux within the gap.
