Is there a way to make a magnetically propelled car- as a project? I'm an undergraduate engineering student. I need a simple yet different project. I don't intend to make the whole car, just looking for a mechanism to make a car move using magnets and that too without using tracks( that is, the tracks they use in maglev trains).

well, if you don't have a track, how will it move along a defined path? You need a magnet to lift the vehicle from the ground and then you need a propulsion system to move it forward, but in a defined way.
I am not able to see a way at least now.

Hmm, how to do it without tracks?
The only way I can think of to magnetically propel a car without having something outside the car to push or pull on would be to use an electric motor to drive the car.
