Abstract:
1. A manually-powered vehicle, generally a bicycle, equipped with a secondary of a linear induction motor, referred to as a LIM, with an attachment means, so that when a rider guides a bicycle over a pathway equipped with spaced primaries of LIMs, when primaries are receiving power from an electric utility through circuitry in a pathway, then, as the bicycle is ridden over each LIM primary, causing a completed LIM motor, a transient magnetic thrust force is created whereby the combining of the rider's muscle power with the LIM power is obtained by using the following apparatus which comprises: a) a manually-powered vehicle, generally a bicycle; b) a secondary of a LIM, referred to as a LIM secondary; c) attachment means to secure the secondary of a LIM to a bicycle; d) a pathway having a ridable surface for bicycles; e) primaries of LIMs, referred to as LIM primaries, spaced along a pathway; and f) an electrical power source and circuitry for transmitting electrical energy to the LIM primaries.
