The Levitation system was built using multiple arrays of magnets arranged in modules under the pod. The movement of magnets over the rail at high speeds would induce eddy currents thereby levitating with the opposing force. The Mechanical Design and Simulation team worked on details provided from the levitation teams calculations to design these sub assemblies and fitting them under the pod. 

​

All these sub assemblies were again created keeping in mind the manufacturing process. These individual sub modules were designed to be laid out flat on aluminum sheets, water jet cut them and then weld up to build them as designed.
