Hi everyone.

00:00:01.119 --> 00:00:02.091
So, we're back!

00:00:02.353 --> 00:00:04.703
My name is Eliot, and she is Jing Xuan.

00:00:04.763 --> 00:00:07.583
We are back with our coilgun version 2

00:00:07.636 --> 00:00:09.844
So, for those of you who missed our first talk,

00:00:10.743 --> 00:00:14.152
a coilgun is an electromagnetic projectile launcher

00:00:14.152 --> 00:00:18.122
that uses electromagnets to propel a projectile.

00:00:18.271 --> 00:00:21.901
We start off by firing the first coil

00:00:21.911 --> 00:00:25.171
which sucks the projectile into the middle

00:00:28.794 --> 00:00:29.044
and activates the first sensor which activates the second coil,

00:00:31.625 --> 00:00:32.906
and the second sensor which activates the third coil

00:00:32.906 --> 00:00:33.976
which then fires the projectile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A quick recap of our version 1 -

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we made a 60 Volt 3 Stage coilgun

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that was modular and could fire with

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
either one, two, or three stages,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or one stage with all the power of three stages

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
into that one stage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the disadvantage of having it modular

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is that you need to do a lot of daisy chaining

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because you need to pass the power

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from one end to the other.
