Dr. Richard Thornton to Present at the ICEMS 2007 Conference in Seoul, Korea

Maglev pioneer discusses the range and scope of three maglev transportation scenarios.

Acton, Massachusetts October 5, 2007

MagneMotion Inc. of Acton, MA today announced that Dr. Richard Thornton, Chairman and CEO of MagneMotion, will present a paper entitled “The Future of Maglev” on October 10th at the 2007 International Conference on Electrical Machines and Systems (ICEMS) Conference.

The paper presents Dr. Thornton’s insight and vision concerning the potential for Maglev and linear motor technology to create improved transportation systems for a wide range of applications. Dr. Thornton addresses the “Future of Maglev” question by considering three distinct speed ranges for the technology. In each range the combination of basic physics and people’s traveling habits lead to quite different designs. This paper describes the history and status of Maglev in these speed ranges and suggests directions for new designs.

Dr. Richard Thornton, a co-founder of MagneMotion, is a pioneer in the development of Maglev technology and holds many Maglev patents. Dr. Thornton is a Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a Fellow of IEEE.

ICEMS 2007 is a prestigious gathering of the world’s leading experts from China, Japan and Korea and will cover the latest trends and developments for the electrical machines and systems industry. It runs from October 8 to 11 at the Olympic Parktel in Seoul, South Korea. For more information on the conference, please visit http://www.icems2007.com.
