Model of a maglev train. The train uses wheels in order to keep on the track. This means that it is only a pseudo maglev. Stay tuned for updates. The cart weighs 325 grams.
I just screw three boards of wood together. The magnets in this video are actually from a flexible strip used in refrigerator doors and such. I bought 10 m for about €13,- at an industrial magnet supplier. It is not a very strong magnet, but you can easily cut it to size. You can also use magnet bars as the rails. I have 50x18x5mm for €0.50 a piece. There are also toysets available. The strongest magnets are Neodynium. I use ceramic. I don't have blueprints, I just cut and saw.
@redefinitionof : Hey, could you please explain to me how you made that or send the blueprints or something, since I really want to build a model of a maglev for a science fair project
