My teacher didn't make them, but bought them. Try Kelvin.com or search for maglev kits. I think they are just magnetic strips glued to metal gutters, and a current is passed through the metal for power.
This is the most boring video I have ever seen! If you want to get kids involved more. Don't just rely on exhilarating music! Kids need words music and video representations! All together in one presentation!
I love the soundtrack, but was this shot with a cameraphone? My maglev car beat my high school record at 2.9 seconds I think. It was like 4 years ago though. Hizzah for maglev!
Actually, it was shot with a cheap Sakar digital camera. It shoots at 320 x 240 pixels at about 9 frames per second. Now you can see why the video is so grainy and blurry. Oh, did I mention it won't zoom while capturing video?
can you tell me how you made your tracks

in order for the maglev to be fast,it has to be aerodynamic.Notice the slimmer maglev is faster but the square maglev is slow.

just use the least amount of weight possible, and tweak the wires going to the motor to touch the track as much as possible without dragging.
