Project Name : Magnetic Train
Theme Name : Transport & Communication
The objective of this project is to build a suitable version of MAGNETIC TRAIN that can work in Indian Conditions.
Scientific Principle:
Magnetic Levitation :
Magnetic levitation is a technology used for high speed trains in which the vehicle is levitate
from the guide way by the magnetic field.
Rack and Pinion :
A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprise a pair of gears which convert rotational motion into linear motion and helping the levitated train to climb up.
Material Used: Bar Magnets. spur gear motor, Rack and. Pinion (PVC). Step down transform, Diode, Resistor, Joystick, MDF sheet, Teak Wood
Working: Rack and pinion based Magnetic train is based on faraday’s law of magnetic flux/field and its movement is based upon Newton’s law of motion. Levitation is based upon the repulsion between the magnets.
Propulsion is based upon the rack and the pinion.
Rack attached with pinion give additional advantage to climb even 250 of Levitation in track.
Utility:
(1) As compared to conventional trains this projected magnetic train run at very high speed and has less wear and tear due to friction and are noiseless.
(2) Such trains can be installed in remote and hilly areas.
(3) These types of trains are fuel efficient
(4) Using magnetic levitation to power vehicles (such as cars) can reduce the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere, thus reducing the rate of air pollution per year,
