Maglev trains

By:Benny Foster

   A maglev train is a train that you put magnets on and on the track and it floats above the track. My groups idea was to only  magnets on the track and on the foam and we put two long ones on the side of the track and a few in the middle.                                                                                                                                                   The foam floated above the track and our group could put 14 marble on the piece of foam and it would still levitate. We only used nine strip magnets for the maglev train. On the track we put the magnets on the north side not the south and we put them in a box.

     The improvements we made was that we used too much magnets that it made it heavy and we also used disc magnets and we used ring magnets.

    I learned that when you put north and south together they attract and if you put north and north together they repel and if you put south and south together they repel. I think maglev trains are fun to make.
