Maglev Post #3

Based on yesterday we did not make any improvements today. We just tried to get more marbles across safely today. At thirty eight  marbles it stopped working.

 

The train had  two strip magnets on each side of the track. The train had one magnet on each side. I think the train was successful because the tracks had more magnets which created a stronger magnetic field. On the vehicle there was only two strip magnets which created a weaker magnetic field.

I learned that maglev trains are not so easy to make. The EDP is very important when you are designing a maglev train.The EDP means Engineering Design Process  I learned that when you work with a group you have to have a lot of grit.
