A metal ball that spins in a circle and gains speed by getting pushed by 8 electromagnets, simulating how a particle moves in a collider (Like CERN in Switzerland), before getting collided. :)
I used ChatGPT to see what I would need for the project as components.
Me and a friend of mine were working on that for some time and I have to tell you we have a full proof plan. As of now I’ve collected most of the components and maretials I need. My grandpa, a woodworker and a great influence for my sketchy ideas🤭, is making the stand we need to make the project real. As you can see on the photo below we need a few things: coils (in our case 8 since our coils are smaller…), magnetically neutral base and a chote which the ball moves in (They’ve done it with some metal rods, we are doing it with a metal pipe (basically the same, with some limited visibility ig🙃)) and other components which we don’t have, but will make on our own. We are adding in a microcontroler (aka Arduino Uno Mini) which controls the mosfets, that are connected to the coils and make the switching on and off possible (we are making it so the magnet stops when the ball passes through to avoid overheating) and we are adding hall effect sensors to get data for how fast does the ball move at any given time. I’m thinking we’ll need something ese since I don’t know if we’ll be able to calculate the exact time the ball passess through the magnet, but well figure it out. we still have some things to figure out beforehand so tune in!😁
