PRESENTATION OVERVIEW

Mission Overview Design Organizational Chart Schedule Budget Design Concerns

MISSION OVERVIEW

OBJECTIVE To investigate high altitude power generation using the

kinetic motion of the balloon and a generator based on the parabolic curve of a pendulum Most turbulent parts of flight will produce more

electric voltage and current To capture video and images from space

EXPERIMENT POTENTIAL: Provide means for alternative source of energy and

power Information on kinetic energy during flight indirectly

indicates mechanical stress, influencing future structures Getting back memorable pictures and video

DESIGN OVERVIEW

KINETIC ENERGY GENERATOR (K.E.G)

Primary payload of Dynamo

Parabolic track emulates the path of a pendulum

Magnets swing next to copper coils to induce current

The testing process (Section 2.7) assesses the function of K.E.G. in the turbulent flight environment

Voltage data collected via LASCAR EL-USB-3 data logger each second

DESIGN OVERVIEW Structure:

Foam core, hot glue, aluminum tape LASCAR Voltage USB logger

Connected to positive and negative feeds of generator

Logs data with specified rate and start time Data stored on the USB, retrieved through PC-USB

compatible software HOBO Data Logger

Measures internal/external temperatures, humidity Data retrieved shall be correlated with altitude

information Activated with external switch

Image and Video Canon A780 Camera programmed to record images

and video at select time intervals

BUDGET

BIGGEST WORRIES…

Generator: Malfunctions Lack of energy generation due to design flaws Magnetic components interfering with electronics

Structure: Unable to handle the rigors of flight Staying connected to GPS unit, from which altitude

data is derived Being over budgeted weight/cost once construction

begins Malfunctions of any other electronic components,

switches, wiring, solder joints, etc…
