Anti-Gravity Vehicles?!?!

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective of this project is to test a magnetically levitated car and a wheeled car and compare their results. Each car will be tested in three different tests multiple times. The tests will show results of friction and speed. My hypothesis is that the magnetically levitated car will out perform the wheeled car in all three tests because it does not have any fiction on the bottom of it because it is floating above the track. Methods/Materials The materials used to perform the experiment and to build the tracks, cars, etc. are the following. 3 each - plexi-glass panels 8" x 48" 2 each - plexi-glass panels 8" x 8" 1 each - Plastic glue 1 each - Double faced tape 50 each - magnets 1 7/8" x 7/8" 1 each - Plastic sheeting 1 each - Turbine Motor 1 each - Battery 1 each - ON/Off switch 1 each - Carbon Fiber Rod 3 each - Rubber Bands 4 each - Wheels 4 each - ball bearings 2 each - Axels Balsa wood Solder All purpose Glue WD - 40 Soldering iron Electric Saw Hand Saw Electric Drill Electric Sander
