Magnetic Levitation Lab

What it is about

You deal with magnetic levitation and build a floating system in a lab experiment. You design 3D-printed components, implement simplified electrical circuits, program microcontrollers, integrate sensors and realize filter and control algorithms. In the end you can explain the physical principles and evaluate the interactions of the involved technical disciplines in hardware systems.

What you will be able to do

• Understand the physical principles of magnetic levitation
• Design components for 3D printing
• Implement a simplified electrical circuit
• Understand the basic structure of microcontroller boards and peripherals
• Implement simple filter and control algorithms
• Evaluate dependencies between technical disciplines in hardware systems
