Maglev Reflection
By: Jake
Team Members: Noah and Agam
Our first idea to design the track was to use 5 ring magnets, 2 short strip magnets, 2 north and south magnets. We planned to put the north and south magnets on the ends of the track. Then we wanted to put 5 ring magnets along the edges of the track. For the train we put 4 disk magnets and two short strip magnets. And it is going diagonal up and down.
A problem our group had was that the train was not a mirror image of track. and we were like it is not a mirror image. One way we made it better is we change it to a mirror.
On are final design we had 1 disc magnet 12 north-south magnets 7 short srip magnets. 2 short strip magnets.
I felt nervous because our group was unable to get any marbles in the cup.Although I did feel a little better because our team did not wind up in last place. Our team worked well together and tried really hard to get the train to work.
I get when you said when you where nervous. I felt the same way and I really like your post.
I ‘m glad that you and your team worked hard.
