Olin College of Engineering | Things That Go Bang Porject | World Domination Levitation

Team Ukiyo

Goals

Far Reaching Goals

  1. Levitate a magnet.

  2. Use electromagnet to pick something up from a distance.

  3. Modify circuitry to have magnet oscillate while in equilibrium.

  4. Levitate water.

  5. Levitate Gill.

Slightly more realistic Goals

  • Look at other magnetic levitation devices.

  • Understand forces on the magnet.

  • Understand how the circuitry works.

  • Build our own circuit.

  • Levitate a magnet.

  • Get enough sleep to actually function properly.
