TESTING
• Wound using hand drill
• Allowed for tight and neat winds
• Less time consuming then process 2
• Low magnetic strength
• Hand wound• Time
consuming • Low magnetic
strength

FUTURE PLAN
Assembly of electromagnetic pairs along Track
Wiring of electromagnets to PLC Program PLC

RECOMMENDATIONS Repelling magnets on underside of track. No space between pairs of electromagnets. Electromagnets repealing the train body
from behind for propulsion.
