Helmholtz Coil Track System

Helmholtz Coil Track System

The track system and carriage.
The research lab I'm currently working for has a one-axis Helmholtz coil, which was originally built to test magnetometers. A Helmholtz coil pair, in theory, produces a uniform magnetic field along the axis between the two coils. Therefore, to test a magnetometer, there needs to be a mechanism to move it axially between the each coil.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - Assembly


I am part of BU's Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) club. This club provides the mentoring and resources for small teams to build, design, and fly their own UAVs. Starting in September of 2014, my team has planned and built the structure of what will become a working UAV.
