The following summarizes the research accomplished under the titled project. The period of research extended from August 2001 to August 2002. The team of researchers consisted of two Senior Research Associates: Mark Siebert and Carl Buccieri. one PhD student: Pete Kenney and one faculty member: Theo Keith, who was the P.I. Karen Balog was the Program Coordinator. The research was performed at both the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, Ohio and at the University of Toledo. Accordingly, periodic group telephone meetings were held with the team members, the NASA technical coordinators and several other University of Toledo researchers working on-site at GRC. Two passive magnetic bearing test rigs were designed and tested as a result of the work of this NRA. Additionally, two technical papers, based on this effort, were generated and are currently being reviewed.
