Building a Maglev Train Prototype

[Hector Ho]

1. Hi, I am currently doing a project which the main objective is to build an miniature Maglev Train Prototype and compare its performance with a Conventional Train.



2. I am having a big problem in the propulsion system of the Meglev Train which is the long stator linear synchronous motor. Where and how can I get this long stator linear synchronous motor?



3. I planned to make the winding of stator by myself, but I have no idea how to do it? Is it possible to do it?

Maybe settle for a linear induction motor? You do have 3 phase power available? If not, maybe try a 2 phase linear motor.

Evidently it is quite simple, in principle. Lots of youtube links; start here. Note the row of bolts used as magnetic cores.

Good luck.
