Learn How to Design & Construct a Maglev Vehicle!
This activity challenges students to design and construct a magnetic levitation vehicle that will travel successfully along a magnetic levitation track. This challenge enables students to design several different types of vehicles using a variety of materials.
The goal is to build a vehicle that will travel a fast as possible along a test tract. The software will monitor and display the acceleration of the vehicle between each sensor. This will produce an acceleration curve for the entire test run. Final Speed will be displayed in feet per second and miles per hour.
This challenge offers students an opportunity to understand the mystery of magnetic levitation.
