Hi everyone.

2
00:00:01,119 --> 00:00:02,091
So, we're back!

3
00:00:02,353 --> 00:00:04,703
My name is Eliot, and she is Jing Xuan.

4
00:00:04,763 --> 00:00:07,583
We are back with our coilgun version 2

5
00:00:07,636 --> 00:00:09,844
So, for those of you who missed our first talk,

6
00:00:10,743 --> 00:00:14,152
a coilgun is an electromagnetic projectile launcher

7
00:00:14,152 --> 00:00:18,122
that uses electromagnets to propel a projectile.

8
00:00:18,271 --> 00:00:21,901
We start off by firing the first coil

9
00:00:21,911 --> 00:00:25,171
which sucks the projectile into the middle

10
00:00:28,794 --> 00:00:29,044
and activates the first sensor which activates the second coil,

11
00:00:31,625 --> 00:00:32,906
and the second sensor which activates the third coil

12
00:00:32,906 --> 00:00:33,976
which then fires the projectile.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A quick recap of our version 1 -

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we made a 60 Volt 3 Stage coilgun

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that was modular and could fire with

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
either one, two, or three stages,

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
or one stage with all the power of three stages

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
into that one stage.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But the disadvantage of having it modular

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is that you need to do a lot of daisy chaining

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because you need to pass the power

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from one end to the other.
