1. A system for generating a linear movement, the system comprising an electromagnetically charged body which is free to move along a main direction, at least one static field generator, and at least two buffer elements, wherein a linear movement of said electromagnetically charged body along said main direction is controlled by the at least one static field generator and by the at least two buffer elements; and
wherein said at least one static field generator is alternately powered with a power profile defined by a series of pulses or periodic waveforms having a predetermined frequency and magnitude so as to generate a series of controlled linear movements of the electromagnetically charged body over a temporal period, wherein a displacement of the electromagnetically charged body occurs during each of the series of controlled linear movements in one of two opposing directions along said main direction, such that an aggregate of incremental displacements of the electromagnetically charged body over the temporal period effects an overall trajectory of the system along the main direction.
