Abstract
A system and method control magnetic adhesion of a wheel to a surface using internal short-circuit conductors. The method includes providing the wheel having a first disc, apertures retaining magnets, and a conducting ring, and a second disc. In a first configuration, the second disc is isolated from the conducting ring to generate a first magnetic flux to increase adhesion. In a second configuration, magnetic interaction of the second disc and the conducting ring generates a second magnetic flux to decrease adhesion. The system implements the method.
