Maglev Car Racing
Sponsored by the College of Engineering, the Society of Automotive Engineers, UD Chapter, and UDEV Club.
Participants will build small, simple maglev cars out of provided materials and parts and race them on a pre-built track. Awards will be given based on performance.
Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a method of propulsion that uses magnetic levitation to propel vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings. With maglev, a vehicle is levitated a short distance away from a guide way using magnets to create both lift and thrust. High-speed maglev trains promise dramatic improvements for human travel if widespread adoption occurs.[1]
