Maglev Project

Final Design Process Reflection

By: Luke Iasiello

Group Members: Emma, Ryan  

On our first design we used 4 magnet strips, 7 ring magnets, 7 disks, 1 long strip magnet and last one red magnet. For the track we used two horizontal long magnets, we also used seven ring magnets along the edges of the track. We also used the red magnet on one side of the track.  For the vehicle, we used two small strip magnets. We placed one magnet on the left side of the vehicle and one other magnet on the right side of the vehicle.

 One problem we had was that the magnets were  not repelling. We fixed this problem by testing the sides and seeing if they repel to the other magnets.   

Our final vehicle worked because we put 2 of the long strip magnet on each side of the bottom of the box and put 2 little strip magnets on each side of the vehicle faced the right side to repel to the other magnets on the bottom.

I had trouble when my plan did not work and I was mad.
