Elegant, and it stays on the track in the curves. Loading and emptying the dirt hauler Might be a problem.
I would happily sit through the
Theory of operation lecture.

The magnets on each end are the "permanent" magnets - just like the ones in a DC motor or the starter in your motorcycle.

The magnets touch each end of the battery - and they are also in contact with the coiled wire...and that makes a closed electrical circuit between the battery and the coiled wire.

When the battery/magnet is shoved into the coiled wire - the battery creates a magnetic field in the wire when the electric current from the battery passes though the wire (this energized field is located between the two ends of the battery).....and the magnets are pushed/pulled toward the field - but the field keeps moving down the wire as the same speed that the battery moves.....so the battery never catches up with the moving field.

I'm not okay today.. and I have questions but not up to typing all that, and probably wouldn't grasp the answers.

JOG , I think you are almost correct, I think the positive field is pulling it and the negative field is pushing it otherwise as soon as the positive field comes out of the coil it would stop right there but it shoots out of the coil so negative field must be pushing it. Same theory used in bullet trains pull/push just keep adding voltage and you have a 200 mph train.

But in a bullet train it's also used to levitate the train , track keeps train from becoming a low flying missle !

Ain't electricity magical!?

Title: Re: Simple Electric Train

Yeah magical , till it uses you for a ground !!

Title: Re: Simple Electric Train
Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/16/17 at 13:23:39

So, offered the opportunity to provide a ground, you'd resist?

Title: Re: Simple Electric Train
Post by Dave on 03/16/17 at 18:19:29

Sometimes when electricity uses you as a ground.....you end up on the ground! ;)

Kinda' like a Taser - without the electrodes stuck in your flesh!

Justin Carsten, 22, of Bullard
A 22-year-old Bullard man is in jail after officials with the Smith County Sheriff’s Office said he bit a deputy while being detained for walking nude in a roadway.

Justin Carsten, 22, of Bullard, faces charges of resisting arrest, search or transport and assault on a public servant.

At 3:50 p.m. Tuesday, deputies responded to the 16800 block of Deer Cove Road in Flint to a disturbance call in regard to a suspicious person who was acting strangely and was partially dressed in the roadway.


When they arrived, deputies said Carsten was standing in the roadway intoxicated, nude and armed with a shovel. Smith County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Darrell Coslin said Carsten was acting aggressively toward deputies and that he was tased with no effect. Deputies reported that Carsten had to be physically subdued. In the process, one of the deputies reported being bitten on the leg by Carsten.
