The ultimate goal for this project is to design an automatic, large capacity coffee maker. The system should be able to detect when a cup or mug is in position to receive coffee, then dispense a cup’s worth (~ 8oz) of coffee. When the coffee in the urn is getting low, our system should be able to allow a person to put new coffee grounds in the top, then push a button to start the coffee brewing process. More specifically, we had to accomplish the following tasks in order to meet our goals: solving the issue of transporting water from …

This project takes two bifilar tesla coils and uses them to find a % efficiency of power transfer as distances between the coils decrease. The reason this experiment is being conducted is to find possible implications for wireless charging of vehicles using similar style coils. This project conducted experiments on 60 Hz, 400 Hz, and 1 kHz frequencies for a small input signal. The general conclusion is that as the frequency increases more power can be transferred and higher efficiency of power transfer is seen. This project also concluded that it could be possible to get higher efficiency at a …
