    Maglev Model
AI Thread Summary
To start a maglev proto model, understanding the principles of electromagnetism is essential. The discussion emphasizes the need for guidance on constructing the track using electromagnetic concepts. Specific materials and measurements for building the track are sought, along with methods for controlling the power supply. The project is intended for an M.Tech program, particularly by someone from a computer science background. Overall, the focus is on practical advice for implementing a magnetic levitation model.

i wanted to do maglev proto model, can u pls suggest me how to do it...
 
Engineering news on Phys.org


Learning how electromagnets work would be your starting point.

Welcome to the PF. Here's some intro reading on magnetic levitation, with links at the bottom to more info (like to info on maglev trains):

thanks mr.pf, i hav gone thro tis paper, and also i collected some related paper... but i m confussed how to build the track, i want to build using electromagmetic concept... but how? pls give me the suggestion how to build it, what is the material required and its measurement... i want built a proto model for my M.tech project

Thanks sir, i m learning it and i hav gone thro it... pls give some idea how to build the track using electro magnet, and i wanted to control the power supply needed for it thro system... i m doing my M.Tech 2nd year, and i wanted to do this project sir.. basicaly i m frm computer science branch... so pls help me to do this project...
 
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
