○ Electromagnets used to levitate cart ○ Sensors used to measure distance between cart and track ○ Lateral Movement in both directions ○ Buck converter used to control current delivered to electromagnets ○ Demonstrated through simulations
○ 1”-8 x 3-½” Bolt ○ 22 AWG Enameled Copper Wire ○ 2000 Turns
○ Lidar sensor
○ Ultrasonic distance sensing ○ Converts time delay between transmission and reception of ultrasonic signal
Position Control: PIV Current Control: PI
PIV Gc(s) PI

Buck Converter
○ Did not have the equipment we needed ○ Lacked the ability to collaborate with group in person ○ Unable to complete a physical model due to no access to the lab
○ Stuck to original design for too long ○ Amount of time we had forced us to try to merge new design with existing Maglev demonstration
○ Design requirements limited options (No liquid nitrogen) ○ Needed mobile power supply
