156A Week 9
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Theory for coil was started
CAD has been started
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Have been able to meet with sponsors several times and began to find theory for magnetic field and coil design
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Begin to arrange materials and figure out what's needed based on theory - Kiernan, Bijan
Look more into apparatus design and identify possible improvements - Nick
Figure out how to test designs and magnetic fields - Kenan
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Want to find best fit for coils
Research B-shape vs D-shape equations
Went to library and searched online to find what D-shape is, no results
Research overheating problem
Looked at some cooling options including liquid cooling and fins
Motor doesn't need to be redesigned but want to maximize torque, low speed
Find ideal prop specsÂ
Looked at some prop specs online... But this is very hard to determine and has been described as a "black magic"
