1. A propulsion system for electrically conductive articles comprising:

  • a passageway extending in length from a first end to an opposite second end and having an entrance at the first end for admitting electrically conductive articles into the passageway and an exit at the second end though which the electrically conductive articles leave the passageway;

    primary coils adjacent to the passageway along its length;

    a coil drive providing currents in the primary coils that produce a primary electromagnetic field that induces currents in the electrically conductive articles in the passageway that create secondary electromagnetic fields in the electrically conductive articles that interact with the primary electromagnetic field to produce a drive force directed against the electrically conductive articles to propel them from the entrance and through the exit of the passageway.
