Train
The train to be used has been designed. The illustration is shown in figure 1.
Note: The train may be varied as more testing is done.
Figure 1 - Train Design
The train has been built out of pine wood utilizing a CNC router, and aluminum. An aluminum grid
has been created to hold the Halbach Arrays for the large magnets, and the small magnet Halbach
Arrays were held by inlaying them into the wood. Other aluminum pieces were used to support the
train. Figure 2 shows the train built.
