Abstract :
Parallel electrostatic suspension is proposed and studied analytically. In parallel electrostatic suspension systems, a single power amplifier is operated to suspend multiple floators or control the multiple-degree-of-freedom motions of a floator. The controllability of parallel magnetic suspension system is discussed both for direct and indirect voltage controlled systems. The conditions for each system to be controllable are clarified.
