Abstract This paper considers the feasibility of different technologies for an electromagnetic launcher to assist civil aircraft take-off. This method is investigated to reduce the power required from the engines during initial acceleration. Assisted launch has the potential of reducing the required runway length, reducing noise near airports and improving overall aircraft efficiency through reducing engine thrust requirements. The research compares two possible linear motor topologies which may be efficaciously used for this application. The comparison is made on results from both analytical and finite element analysis (FEA).

Smart phone has various function and large display for convenience. However, there is some disadvantage that the smart phone is less portable than before. The thickness of the smart phone should be reduced in order to improve the portability of a smart phone. The vibrating motor is one of the thicker components in a smart phone. Therefore, we develop a horizontally vibrating linear motor that can be used to reduce the thickness of a smart phone. In order to develop a horizontally vibrating linear motor (HVLM), Mathematical vibration modeling is used, and a finite element analysis using the commercial electromagnetic analysis software MAXWELL. Also, the guide spring is designed using commercial structural analysis software ANSYS workbench. Finally, a prototype is manufactured for use in experiments. Its thickness is reduced by 30 % compared to a vertical linear vibrating motor. In addition, the motor can vibrate with an acceleration of approximately 2.10 Gravity (G).
