Geoffkait is correct.But this may be a hurdle less high to jump than previous designs.The question is how serious are they in perfecting this concept.Do they have the engineering chops to do it right.
audiophiles have had mag lev devices for twenty years. It’s not really a question of engineering chops. It’s that mag lev has insurmountable problems that makes it uncompetitive with better approaches. LIGO does not use mag lev for any of it’s isolation stages. And they know their isolation. Therefore, I’m out. Looking on the positive side, magnetic sensors are used effectively for active isolation servo mechanisms.
