Abstract
The Electromagnetic Launch Module (ELM) is a compact electromagnetic acceleration system developed to demonstrate the practical implementation of electromagnetism, automation, and embedded control systems. The system is designed to accelerate an iron ball along a circular track using sequentially activated electromagnetic coils controlled through sensor-based switching mechanisms. The primary objective of this project is to achieve controlled electromagnetic motion, speed measurement, and automated operation in a compact and cost-effective setup.
The proposed system consists of electromagnetic coils (L1, L2, L3, and L4), MOSFET switching circuits (IRF540N), BC557 transistors, Infrared (IR) sensors, an Arduino Nano, a servo motor-based gate mechanism, and an LCD display for real-time speed monitoring. A 24V DC power supply is used to energize the coils, generating magnetic fields that accelerate the iron ball through electromagnetic attraction. The IR sensors continuously detect the position of the ball and provide signals for synchronized coil activation.
