DIY Electromagnetic Coil Train
Many tech developers, including Elon Musk, are working on magnetic hyperloop trains. These mass-transit vehicles would be capable of traveling at unseen speeds and totally revolutionize the way many people commute and travel.
While we can’t really provide instructions for building your own hyperloop transit system, we’re certainly able to help you make your own miniature version! Using only a few materials, you can make a magnetic coil train. It’s a perfect way to demonstrate how these hyperloop systems work. Or, at the very least, keep you entertained for hours!
What You’ll Need
- Copper Wire (18 gauge works best)
- 1 AAA Battery
- 1 AA Battery
- 4 to 8 Small Neodymium Disc Magnets (the more magnets, the faster your train will be!)
- Wire Cutters
