1. A conveyor system comprising:

  • an ingress conveyor;

    at least one egress conveyor; and

    a linear induction motor-driven divert mechanism comprising;

    a plurality of spherical rotors rotatably positioned between an upper frame and a nesting table; and

    a power table having a stator plate associated with each of the plurality of spherical rotors;

    wherein the power table is positioned beneath the nesting table, andwherein each of the spherical rotors is adapted to rotate about an axis upon an application of alternating current to a stator plate corresponding to the spherical rotor.
