The present invention provides a linear motor 1 which uses a plurality of cylindrical linear motors 2 to increase power and which can guide forward and backward movements using a simple configuration, the linear motor 1 requiring reduced manufacturing costs. An active material layer containing silicon as an element is provided on a current collector. The ride vehicle includes a track connector assembly coupled to the track for movement along the ride path in a direction of travel. The busbar has a first region to couple to one of the input and the output of the UPS, a second region to couple to one of the input and the output of the MBP, and a measurement region. Embodiments of the system can be configured to additionally perform as a catalytic converter andor a muffler.
