2007 Project Objective • Mobilize the e-Zapper system • Design a platform on which the e-Zapper can be mounted. • Determine the Power Requirements to run the e-Zapper These objectives have been divided into three sub-teams • Vehicle Dynamics • Power Generation • Heat Transfer and Radiation
Loading and unloading the e-Zapper unit onto a platform suitable for transporting the system Problem Statement

Loading and Unloading the e-Zapper • Using a simple ramp and track system, the e-Zapper can be placed on the tracks and winched up and down the ramp.
The Concerns • Weight distribution within the trailer • The weight of the e-Zapper on the ramp • The strength of the rollers used • Aligning the rollers with the track • The angle of approach and high centering • The winch requirements • Fabrication of a front end support for e-Zapper
Trailer Layout 44.5ft
The Ramp Selected • Landsport company • COMBO 40,000 lb. Capacity*, 16-foot Ramp Modular that doubles as 20,000 lb. Capacity Load Levelers (Plenty of strength to support e-Zapper) • 4 segments, 8 feet long, 20 inches wide • Price: $1995
Swivel top roller dolly 5,000 lbs capacity each Steel 8 (length) x 6 (width) x 4.5 (height) in. $240.00 per roller 6 rollers needed The Rollers
Angle of Approach 16’ ramp 6.58o 23” vertical to the trailer bed *Figure not to scale
Break Over Angle 22” 42o Giving a maximum angle of approach 48o, without bottoming out on the interface of the ramp and the trailer bed.
The Winch Requirements F_gravity F_sliding 16’ Ramp F_normal 6.58o F_gravity= 9,200 lbs F_normal= F_gravity*cos(6.58)= 9,139 lbs F_sliding= F_gravity*sin(6.58)= 1,054 lbs F_total= 1785 lbs (F_sliding + F_static) *F_total is the force needed to move the e-Zapper up the ramp
The Winch • $490.00
The Front End Support • The need to design and fabricate a support for the front end of the e-Zapper • Must be the same width as the rear supports in order for the rollers to align with the track. • Bending and compression stresses need to be taken into consideration.
Existing Roller Attachment Location Front End Support Attachment Location
Front End Support: Display of Deflection Front End Support: Display of Loads and Restraints Front End Support: Display of Safety Factor
To Be Done • Front Support • Already engineered, needs fabrication • To hold front end of e-Zapper • Load Distribution • U-Track System • Necessary for alignment of e-Zapper during loading and unloading • Precision is vital (1/16” tolerance recommended)
Experiment Results Max Current Drawn: 85 Amps
Generator Requirements • Sound Enclosure • 208 Volts- 3 phase power • 60 Hertz • 100 Amps
