Well it looks like I need to find out as much as I can about Magnetic Induction. Does anyone have a link/ reference to a beginners understanding, study material so that I can start my Bob Sled project? In the mean time I'll search the physics textbooks on this site.

Thanks for all your help so far guys

What on Earth does induction have to do with a bobsled? Are you making a maglev or something? :confused:
 
Yes, I'm currently looking at using slotted aluminum sheet metal.
 
You need some awfully powerful current for that. Be careful.
