  1. MAGLEV Critical Design Review Group 2 Julio Arias Sean Mawn William Schiller Leo Sell

  2. Motivation • Increase awareness of related technology • Clean technology

  3. Specifications

  4. Goals and Objectives • Main goal is to replicate an existing technology that uses magnetic fields as a sole method of propulsion and levitation • Three objectives • Magnetic levitation • Magnetic propulsion • Wirelessly controlled

  5. Levitation • Passive design • Opposing polarity rails to minimize motor gap magnetic field interference. • Levitation achieved through like-pole repulsion

  6. Levitation

  7. Repelling Force Test: Car and Track

  8. Propulsion • Using alternating polarity magnets on each rail, the solenoids will achieve a push pull force to create movement

  9. Propulsion – The Halbach Array • The proper propulsion technique is achieved using a Halbach Array. For the array we used N48 grade cylindrical Neodymium magnets

  10. Halbach Array cont. • Field on the other side of the Halbach field is reduced to near zero • By directing the field towards the motor gap in the track, the solenoid motor is saturated by the drive magnet field

  11. Vehicle

  12. Electromagnets

  13. Hardware Block Diagram Solenoids ATmega328 H-Bridge IC’s 18V source Hall Effect Sensors Android App 9V Battery 5 Volt regulator Bluetooth

  14. MCU • Atmega328P • Sensors use 3 analog inputs (6 analog inputs total) • H-Bridge’s use 6 Digital I/O’s (14 total, 2 reserved for Bluetooth connection) • 16 MHz crystal • Programmed through an Arduino Uno development board

  15. H-Bridge IC Usage • TI SN754410 • 4.5V – 36V operating range • 1A output-current per driver • Operating Temp, -40 to 85⁰C • 3 state outputs • Cost: $2.35 ea

  16. Hall-Effect Sensors

  17. MagLev Schematic

  18. Eagle PCB board vs. DOT PCB

  19. Three - Phase Drive system • Sensor orientation sends a three phase voltage signal back to MCU • 120 degrees apart based on the position of the sensors on vehicle • Each phase represents one sensor coupled with a solenoid • Sensor output voltage ranges depict solenoid polarity
