Latest Patents

Meyer’s patent, “Drive System for a Vehicle Moving Along a Trackway, Particularly a Magnetic Levitation Train,” describes a linear motor with a stator extending along the trackway. The system uses a converter to produce a three-phase alternating voltage at a selected frequency and amplitude, which is supplied to the primary winding of an output transformer.

The patent proposes taps on the transformer’s secondary winding. A stepping switch can connect or disconnect these taps in transformer mode, allowing the output voltage to be adjusted and corrected. This arrangement is intended to provide more differentiated adaptation of power to the vehicle’s drive system.

Career Highlights

Meyer’s documented invention addresses electrical power control for trackway transportation, including magnetic levitation trains. The patent’s transformer-tap and switching arrangement offers a way to adjust the voltage supplied to the linear motor.

Collaborations

Walter Sekot and Markus Engel are identified as Meyer’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Reiner Meyer’s recorded patent reflects work on adapting electrical power for linear-motor vehicles, with a design intended to support controlled operation along a trackway.
