Roller Coaster
How to make a model roller coaster lift?
Hi, I'm making a roller coaster for a class project and i want to make an initial magnetic motorized lift.. how would i do this?
When i say magnetic, im planning to use a metal marble, and i want it to appear to move up the hill without anything showing on the track (it will be hidden underneath)
Where could i get a small motor to work this?
it's going to be made out of index cards and a metal marble.. i want a motor to be working on the other side of the card with a magnet and a motorized lift.
You could make a pulley with a magnet on one end of a string and a weight on the other end, with the top of the pulley a little lower than the top of the hill so the magnet pulls away and lets the ball fall. The magnet should slide along the bottom of the track, held there by the metal ball.
If you need to use a motor, then use it in a winch.
I'm not sure if any of this would work but it works in my head...
