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.
