Hey there!
I need to build a working model of a maglev-train, which will hover over permanent magnets on a track, and which will have to have a propulsion system.
My question is whether there is a way of getting an accelration not using a propellar? As part of the project, I've been given an electric DC motor, which obviously is intended to drive the train forward in some way.
Magnetics is not my strongest subject, but what I've been thinking is that rotating a magnet in the cart might drive it forward? If all the magnets in the track are pointing the same way, how would I be able drive the cart forward this way?
Might someone have another idea on how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
