Maglev Reflection #1

Final Design Process Reflection

by: Jordan 

Group Members: Milo, and Dylan

Our train had 2 long strip magnets 4 north and south pole magnets and masking tape we put the long strip magnets at the side of the inside part of the box and we put tape under the long strip magnets and taped the north and south magnets over the long strip magnets.

The first problem with our train was it wouldn’t levitate high enough and our groups solution was to take away the north and south magnets and we added five long strip magnets on each side of the track and it levitated high enough.

Our last design was putting five long strip on each end and on the car we put 2 small strip magnets we also put tape under the the small strip magnets so the magnets would stick. We also taped the two cups with the tape so the cups would not slip off the train.

One of my thoughts going through this process was that we are going to do it to make the train levitate and one of my feelings was I was very excited. I was excited because it was cool to have the opportunity to do this.
