Introduction: Magnetic Push Forward Toy Car

About: I am a Fan of art and culture and the people who contribute to its development.

Magnets are amazing substances that our earth has packed in it. We all know that opposite poles (N-S or S-N) of two magnets attract each other and two similar poles (S-S or N-N) of two magnets repel each other with the same force as they attract each other. This repulsive force is in a way the basis of magnetic levitation whose most common use is in bullet trains.

As you can see that in the GIF image that i have uploaded (I took it from a Facebook Page) asks if the boat will move or not, due to repulsive force between the two magnets.

So in this Instructable i am designing a magnetic push forward and as a result a toy car will go like a pro.

Step 1: Things Required

  1. Hot glue gun.
  2. A small size pull back toy car.
  3. A pair of magnets.

Step 2: Getting Things Ready

  1. Open the toy car and remove all the gear parts that support the pull back action.
  2. Mark the similar poles of the two magnets. I did this with narrow strips of electric tape.
  3. Apply the hot glue to the trunk of the toy car and atach the magnet in a way such that its pole is normal to the plane of car.

Step 3: Ready... Steady... Go...

Now the self perpetual propulsion toy car is ready to get in to action. I have uploaded the videos where you can see it in action.
