A Demonstration for Pedagogy to Realize Maglev Technologies
نویسنده
چکیده
Magnetic levitation is an interesting phenomenon of lifting/ suspending objects without any physical contact using magnetic power, which finds multitude of applications in modern technologies. The objective of this article is to interactively demonstrate magnetic levitation using a simple experimental setup with intent to increase the efficacy of science and engineering pedagogy in teaching-learning process of magnetism for the realization of potential of physics in the making of advanced systems such as maglev trains, flying cars, maglev wind turbines and magnetic bearings.
