Toy Levitron-Magnetic, Or Electromagnetic, Floating Trains

[guest1289]

    Toy Levitron-Magnetic, Or,  Electromagnetic, Floating Train

     So either,  an
         - Levitron-Magnetic( non-electric permanent-magnet ) Floating Toy Train moveable along a track
         -  Or,  an Electromagnetic Floating Toy Train moveable along a track

      It's odd how none of these appear on the market, since they in no way involve overunity.

      There are at least two  Electromagnetic-Floating-toy-Train  prototypes I have seen made by different people,  but I have not seen anyone bothering to make a   Levitron-Magnetic( non-electric permanent-magnet )-Floating-Toy-Train.   Some time ago,  I noticed that someone else had thought up the idea  of  a  floating-toy-Levitron-train( non-electric permanent-magnet )   significantly earlier than I did.

Times of past.....   (sigh)


We used to have permanent magnet levitating train toys
Long before there was such a thing as the Levitron train


Turns out there's not much of a market for these things anymore
Kids want their I-pods

   I believe you,  that you successfully achieved  'full-magnetic-levitation'  just by using  'permanent-magnets',     'visually'  defying the laws of  'magnetic-levitation',  since I can see various ways that that  could be done,  and another member her claimed the same thing.
       However,      I am sure that there never was  a   'fully-levitating-toy-train'   that just used    permanent-magnets,   which would  'visually'  have defied the laws of  'magnetic-levitation',   not only because it would have been suppressed and not manufactured,  but also because I have never found any hint that there ever was one sold anywhere.

   I have also not even seen that anyone has ever built a  'Levitron-Train',  which is odd,  since it defies no laws of science (  the earliest mention of this idea,  was made by someone only a few years ago )

    (  people definitely want to buy these things  )

     I think the very easiest way to build a  fully-levitating-toy-train  just using  permanent-magnets would be to  make a  straight section of track,   making  each of the rails out lots of  round-button-shaped-magnets to form two long  cylinder-magnets,   each  cylinder-magnet  being  an individual  rail,             
         - however,   you  could  possibly also  slightly  space apart the  individual  round-button-shaped-magnets ,   either for  traction reasons,  or just a longer track
           - the  levitating  'train'  itself  could  be  a  lighter/weaker  version  of  an  individual   rail-design  in this  idea,   AND,   YOU COULD HAVE SMALL  NON-METALLIC  WEIGHTS HANGING  FROM THE TOY TRAIN  TO KEEP IT IN-BETWEEN  THE  2-RAILS,  TO PREVENT IT FALLING OF THE TRACK.

      (  I posted more advanced methods previously in other threads on this site,  but they would definitely  be more difficult  to build   )

    There could be also a completely different way of building a  fully-levitating-toy-train  just using  permanent-magnets ,   that would be to copy the  hoverboard  invention,   so it would levitate above a suitably designed copper track,   
      but I'm also wondering if could it be done without fast rotating magnets,  like the basic magnet down a copper-pipe effect,   and it could have standard ground-wheels to enable it to get up to a high enough speed to float.

  That   toy-floating-train  video you just posted,   that train relies on the   transparent-plastic  side-barriers    to prevent it from falling of the track,   which I think you already know,  so it no where near qualifies   as  full-levitation.

    All of the designs I have posted are designed to be  fully-levitating,  including the  much-simpler  designs( easier to build than my previous designs ) which I posted in my previous post on this thread.
