Magnetic Train model

This is a model of a magnetic levitated train that i made for a school project (biggest one in highschool). It goes both ways and i show you one in this clip. Notice the red lights flash up when the 'train' passes by (wich is detected by 24Vreed-sensors). It all works with a 24v/220V4A system. no chips whatsoever. 300meter copperwire underneath.

lol no need to be mad if thats what ur saying that for, ?? but if ur saying it as in true then ok, any ways what im saying is why it sucks is because it wobbles and has no use lol. but its cool because it flippen floats lol its like awesome because of that at the same time xD

we used no microchips whatsoever. just wires and "REED" sensors. a reedsensor works like a relais, but is flicked on when enountered by a magnet. so when the train gets past such a sensor (there are like 5 above the model as you can see> and the magnetic power comes from that antenna with a little magnet on it) > the right magnets on the side are turned on.

so we used like 8 relais and 5 reed sensors. for more info and the scheme ed, PM me.
