Embedded Files
This semester, I took Power Electronics (6.131) with Prof. Steve Leeb and it was one of the most inspiring classes I've ever taken. I was spending so much time and energy on power electronics that I was seeing it in my dreams on a weekly basis (and some of my best ideas came to me in my EE dream delirium...). I wanted to show some of the labs I was assigned this semester and how I executed them here, enjoy!
My favorite lab of the semester was our DC-DC induction motor. Alone, my motor hit 6800 RPM (2nd place), but after I dreamed (literally) of some mods, myself and Thienan combined forces (his brushes, my everything else) and made a motor that hit at least 11.2k RPM before literally disintegrating (the solder melted off!) I wish we had a video of that.
First iteration of the rotor (I destroyed this one and remade another because I wanted 3 pole-pairs).

I dreamed to cut off the zip-ties and replace them with string to get the magnet-stator closer to the rotor.
Lamp!
