The magnets my group used are eight strip magnets Also There are three magnets stacked on each other on each side of the track. And there are two magnets on each side of the foam board.

 

Also Something that worked was our last plan of a train.And the only magnets that we used were two little strip magnets on two sides of the foam board.And something that we failed at was a train we made.It had ring magnets everywhere all over the foam board.And all of them were in the wrong place but we fixed that.But the train still did not work. 

And my groups goal is to make our maglev train we made to carry more weight.

 

Maglev Train Post #1

A maglev train is a train that runs on magnets.The train is made out of magnets. A maglev train is supposed to carry people to places.The maglev train levitates off the track because the magnets on the same side.                                

My group put nine ring magnets on the bottom of the train. And then we put two strip magnets on the middle of the track.We then put as many ring magnets as we could fit around the outside of the track, which was around the strip magnets.      

It was really hard to make the train because the magnets were in the wrong places. Some of the magnets were repelling and some were attracting. It was all messed up. Also the track was hard to build because they were also repelling and attracting, which made it mess up. Finally we did it. All the work paid off. My group was great because we listened to each other’s ideas,we never interrupted when we were talking and most of all we were never fighting.
