The military is developing linear induction rail gun devices that can fire a projectile at speeds approaching 2 miles per second!
Linear force
(3) Because they are in a magnetic field, the currents in the rotor bar experience a force, propelling the rotor bar forward.
Rotor bar eddy currents are induced by the changing magnetic field.
Many roller coasters use linear induction motors for smooth and fast propulsion
