Abstract
An electromagnetic drive includes a drive plate disposed in a magnetic field. The drive plate includes a non-conductive medium with a first plurality of linear conductive elements arranged parallel to a first axis. The first plurality of linear conductive elements connects first and second electrical terminals supported by the non-conductive medium. The drive plate may be driven in the magnetic field along a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis when an electrical current of sufficient magnitude is passed through the first plurality of linear conductive elements.
