Magnetic Levitation Set

Introduce your students to an exciting future mode of transportation based on magnetic levitation. Two 4-foot long tracks are supplied ready to demonstrate the attraction principle of levitation using an elevated track and a wrap-around model train. By adding the enclosed guide ways, the repulsive principle of levitation can be investigated. In this mode, the two tracks can be hinged at any convenient angle to study acceleration, or they can be connected end-to-end to make an 8-foot long track. A clamp is provided to hold the hinged tracks at desired angle. A magnetic wand is included to simulate methods of propulsion. Guide ways are screened with English and Metric scales to facilitate quantitative results. Magnets and Styrofoam vehicle blanks are included.
