Last Week

This last week we are finishing our final report. We still have to do some tables, graphs and the conclusion. The rest of the work has been revised and improved.

Week 23

Today we have completed all of the data that was left. So for the next weeks we can concentrate on the report and organising all of the data in graphs.

These is the table we have completed:

Week 22

This week Guille is working alone because Manu and Carlos have betrayed him and they have gone to Rome the whole week. He will continue on his own collecting more data.

For the next week we will finish obtanining data changing the number of turns of the magnet because the one changing the diameter of the core has been finished today. After obtaining all results, we will process it and create a conclusion.

Week 21

This week, just like the week before, we are collecting data to improve our results.

Wednesday 25 March 2015

Week 20

Today we are starting the third evaluation. This evaluation we are going to collect as much data as possible for each of our experiments, so our results can be precise enough. Our objective is to do each experiment at least 5 times.

This week we haven't been able to get results because of the humidity that causes our power supply to overload too fast.

Week 19

This week we have finished the second part of our experiment. The results of this second part made sense from the beggining so we can determine clearly that the number of coils affects the power of the magnet.
In order to make the experiment more reliable and not changing of nucleus, we started bu the biggest number of turns (35) and after meausuring how much wight it could lift, we cutted 5 coils and continued. When we had 5 turns, we proceded with 1 (which had a ridiculous amount of force) and with none, which, as expected, didn´t lift any weight.

35 turns
2.2355g
30 turns
1.5409g
25 turns
1,3815g
20 turns
1,2645g
15 turns
0,8740g
10 turns
0,5455g
5 turns
0,1175g
1 turn
0,0177g
0 turns
0g

At the final stage of the experiment (when the magnet had less than 15 turns), the power supply overloaded because the current was increasing because of the high temperature of the system. However we were able to proceed because it overloaded after 3 sec, so we had to be fast, but it didn´t affected the experiment (leaving apart the fact that we had to repeated several times).
With this, our experiment is finished and ready to analyse.
