Mass Transportation-Magnetic Levitation Technology
Overview
Mass transportation should be a major
means of travel in the United States because of the ever growing population,
the overcrowding of our highways with automobiles, the growing pollution
problems and the high cost of fuel. Magnetic levitation has been
identified as a possible solution to the problem. Maglev vehicles
have proven to be a fast, quiet, efficient and pollution free.
Design Brief
You and your partner are employed by an
engineering company that is competing with other firms for a contract from
the state of Delaware to design a magnetic levitation vehicle which will
travel from the city of Wilmington to Rehobeth Beach. You are required
to design a prototype and build a working model. Also you are required
to make a formal presentation to convince the planners that this technology
is the wave of future transportation systems. In order to successfully
complete your assignment, information should be obtained from completing
an internet research analysis.
