This start-up package includes all of the supplies that students
will need to design, build and launch the CO2 dragster and
perform vehicle safety testing. Hands-on activities include
adding safety features to the vehicle’s design so that students
can study the effects of seat belts, bumpers, and airbags on
“egg” passengers (not included). Problem-solving is used to
evaluate why some designs were better for the ‘passengers’
than others. Students can compete to see which vehicle is
safest, travels the farthest or fastest. Grades 6-12.

Ideal for Young Students
KELVIN® Maglev Track with See-Through Side Rails
This 8 ft. long maglev track with see-through rails is ideal for young students to view magnetic levitation of the car in the
track. They can also measure the height of the maglev’s elevation as they put more weight (passengers) on it. The maglev
car can be designed to be powered by a sail and a box fan, propeller and a rubber band or using an on-board battery.
NOTE: The railing can’t be electrified since it is plastic. Works with maglev car kits #840665, #841295, #841294 &
#840730 only (see page XX). Oversized Shipping Charges of $20.00 Apply.

Maglev
Vehicle
with
Side
Brushes
KELVIN®’s Maglev Track with see-through side rails allows students to see the levitation of the vehicle
while it is on the track and to run vehicles with electric motors. Although it is made of plastic, this
track can be electrified with KELVIN®’s power supply (#841051). It also offers them the ability to
measure the height of the vehicle, above the track, as cargo is added.
Students will plan, build, test and modify a maglev vehicle with an electric motor. One challenge
is to design a vehicle that will go the fastest when propelled by an electric-powered propeller while
using different brush configurations: 2 or 4, side or upper. Another challenge for students is how to
supply the needed electric power to the vehicles during the run on the road without batteries?

is the next generation

The new keel design
base eliminates the
need for side rails on
the track. This track
design change allows
students to easily see the
levitating effects of the magnets
and increases interest in the activity. The
design change also allows for wider body design and
eliminates the problem of magnets applied beyond the edge
of the vehicle base wedging the vehicle in the guide way.
Power can now be easily picked up from the track and the included voltage
meter displays the voltage being applied to the track rails. The bumper at the end of the
track prevents vehicles from flying off the guide way and getting damaged.
