发明名称 High-speed magnetic trolley
摘要 A high-speed magnetic trolley that utilizes an eddy current brake that may reduce the speed of a person in a harness traveling on a relatively steep zip line cable, making it possible to reach a landing brake at a reasonable speed and becomes easy to adjust an amount of braking force needed to reach a desired speed by taking off or adding more magnets without throwing one or more aluminum wheels out of balance. The high-speed magnetic trolley produce an eddy current that generates an opposing magnetic field, which then resists rotation of one or more aluminum wheels providing braking force.

主权项 1. A high-speed magnetic trolley, comprising: a pair of aligned apertures disposed on a pair of parallel plates; a plurality of harness coupling apertures; a body having the pair of parallel plates, the pair of parallel plates includes the plurality of harness coupling apertures to accommodate coupling a harness; a removable bar extended through the pair of aligned apertures disposed on the pair of parallel plates, the removable bar utilized as a harness anchor that is ridden with a chair harness; a plurality of wheels placed between the pair of parallel plates, each wheel include a fitted track on a middle circumference portion of each wheel that accommodates a zip line cable, the wheels rotate while in contact with the zip line cable; one or more spacers that define an open area between the pair of parallel plates where the wheels are placed; a plurality of body bolts extended through a first set of corresponding apertures, the first set of corresponding apertures disposed on the pair of parallel plates and the body bolts to couple the one or more spacers in place; a plurality of axles extended through a second set of apertures disposed on the pair of parallel plates and a centered aperture disposed on each of the wheels, the axles to couple the wheels in place while allowing the wheels to rotate; a plurality of magnet holder plates coupled to an exterior facing of the pair of parallel plates on an opposite side of the pair of parallel plates adjacent to the wheels, the magnet holder plates coupled with a plurality of fasteners; wherein the magnet holder plates are generally planar shaped and include an aperture to accommodate one or more magnets; and wherein the one or more magnets are coupled in place magnetically by the magnet holder plates.
