Post #1 Maglev train

If any of you were wondering what is a maglev train is let me explain. A maglev train is a train that has no wheels. It only levitates. They levitate by the magnets repelling. They repel by (south-south)-(north-north). Our groups idea of making a mini maglev train is by putting (south) magnet strips on the the track and south ring magnets on the vehicle.

So when we put down the strip magnets on the track it wasn’t really repelling. Well we fingered out we should put two more strips so then it will repel better.

The experience was great! Everyone was focused on their work and it turned to be very good and it was levitating. It was challenging a little because the magnets were always attracting when we were taping the strip magnets on the track. Then we finally put the strip magnets down and we got it.
