Building an electromagnet hover-coaster

[ultravolts]

Want to know the posibilities of lifting over 300Kgs

How much current will be required of electromagnets holding the coaster carriage lifted above two beams on either side?

Also will it work to place electromagnets on opposing sides (top and bottom, left and right) of the beam to hold the carriage from lifting up or falling down?
Give detailed explanations please.

You can calculate everything you need using any book or website on electromagnets. This simply isn't something we can simply explain in a forum thread, as it requires a full understanding on how electromagnets work and other electromagnetic principles.

I ran the following through google translate:

"You can calculate everything you need using any book or website on electromagnets. This simply isn't something we can simply explain in a forum thread, as it requires a full understanding on how electromagnets work and other electromagnetic principles."

The translation:

"You need to learn all the answers yourself. You basically need to become a professor of electromagnetism to answer your question and therefore you should quit while you're ahead."

ultravolts, Do not get discouraged just because you haven't received all the information you want to make a hover-coaster. Sarcasm is never useful. Drakkith is exactly correct: You have to study the problem, do research, and find out what others have already done on this subject. Then, when you have doubts or some confusion about processes or mechanisms, come back here to PF and post your question(s). I promise you folks here will try to help you understand the science.

Are you aware that there are already Mag-Lev trains operating in this world? Have you studied how they work? What research has already been done on the subject? Have you found out what engineering problems they had to solve before success? Keep us informed of your progress, I would enjoy a ride on a hover-coaster.

I cannot accurately determine the possibilities of lifting over 300Kgs without specific information about the design and materials of the electromagnet hover-coaster. The amount of current required for the electromagnets will depend on various factors such as the size and strength of the magnets, the distance between the magnets and the beams, and the weight and composition of the coaster carriage. It is important to note that increasing the current beyond a certain point may also cause the magnets to overheat and potentially fail.

Regarding the placement of the electromagnets, it is possible to use them on opposing sides of the beam to hold the carriage in place. However, this would require precise control and coordination of the magnets to ensure that the carriage is held in the desired position without any tipping or instability. The strength and positioning of the magnets would also need to be carefully calculated to counteract the weight and forces acting on the carriage. Additionally, the use of opposing magnets may also create a repelling force that could potentially cause the carriage to move in unintended directions.

In summary, the possibilities of lifting over 300Kgs with an electromagnet hover-coaster will depend on various factors and cannot be determined without more specific information. The use of electromagnets on opposing sides of the beam may be possible, but it would require careful design and control to ensure the stability and safety of the coaster. It is recommended to consult with a qualified engineer or physicist to accurately assess the feasibility and safety of such a project.
