A variety of transmission mechanisms are provided that include ‘radially inverted’ pulleys that are nested within each other or otherwise overlap in order to exert ‘inward’ forces onto a compressive belt that transmits power between the pulleys. By exerted forces ‘inward’ onto the belt, the belt can be subjected to net compression everywhere along its length. This allows the belt to be less complex and to have a lower cost than belts of transmissions that exert forces ‘outward’ from pulleys onto a belt, thus requiring expensive and technically challenging belt packs or other elements to sustain the longitudinal tensions experienced by such belts, even when such belts are operated as “push” belts. Transmissions that include such ‘radially inverted’ pulleys can exhibit reduced size and cost and increased power capacity compared to transmissions that employ ‘non-radially inverted’ pulleys.

Repulsive force created by actuated permanent magnets is used to levitate and transport heavy loads. A bed of permanent magnets is selectively actuated to levitate an array of magnets positioned above the bed, such that the magnets in the levitated array are opposed to the actuated magnets, and of the same magnetic pole, thereby creating a repulsive force. The actuated magnets are vertically offset from magnets in the bed of permanent magnets that have not been raised, thereby imparting maximum levitation forces to the magnets in the levitated array. These systems can levitate and transport objects over level or sloped surfaces, in a straight path or along curves and corners. A bed of magnets can be attached to the floor, or to a set of moving decks that rearrange themselves in a desired path. Our systems can simulate walking or running, similar to a treadmill or virtual gaming platform.
