Systems And Methods For Fluid Bearing-Based Translation Systems

Abstract: a fluid bearing system includes a rotor and a linear motor subsystem having a plurality of linear motors that provide a forward thrust to the rotor. the fluid bearing system also includes a fluid bearing subsystem having a plurality of fluid conduits and a pump. further, the fluid bearing system also includes a control system communicatively coupled to the plurality of fluid outlets and the pump. the control system activates the pump to direct a fluid flow from the plurality of fluid outlets, wherein the provides e a lift force to the rotor via the plurality of fluid outlets that is substantially perpendicular to the forward thrust.
