Electromagnetic Crane

January 2015 – May 2015
Academic Group Project

  • This prototype was fun to work on as it was the first project I worked on after enrolling in Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program.
  • In a group of five, we developed a prototype of an electromagnetic crane in which the magnet and the boom pivots 0-75o and the stage rotates 360o in both the directions (cw and ccw).
  • This project exposed me to wood working, electronics, motors, different types of gears and their kinematics.
  • As a part of the team, my work was to procure standard parts, manufacturing and integration of electrical circuit.
