Ferromagnetic Material Launcher

  The Ferromagnetic Material Launcher (FML) is a turret mounted coil gun controlled by an android mobile device. This project   features high and low power transformers, a coil gun, capacitor bank, custom printed circuit board (PCB), Wi-Fi camera, and turret.   The FML was chosen because it offered challenges in both electrical and computer engineering concepts. The project was chosen   because it required knowledge in electromagnetic forces, power systems, embedded systems, computer architecture, and software   development. Not only did this project challenge the group to apply concepts learned throughout their engineering coursework,   providing a foundation for future projects with the knowledge and experience gained.
