The empirically determined performance and torque values establish the requirements for the magnetically levitated motor design to be used in the Inspired Universal MagLev System. This next step in our research and development is to fabricate a fully integrated and functional magnetically levitated pump, motor and controller system that meets the product requirement specifications and achieves a state of readiness for acute ovine animal studies to verify safety and performance of the system.
