Using Magnets To Launch My Roller Coaster (LSM)
I have successfully built a linear synchronous motor for my model roller coaster. This system individually controls each coil and manipulates the magnetic field of the electromagnets to drive the car.

Siren's Curse at Cedar Point Recreation
Просмотров 6 тыс.Месяц назад
This is a working model of Cedar Point's upcoming roller coaster Siren's Curse. It features a working tilt drop, station gates, and a collision avoidance system for both trains (block zones). The model is operated by an arduino uno running FreeRTOS and custom tasks to monitor each zone. The train is equipped with magnets on the bottom to trigger hal effect sensors to give the position of the tr...

    Out of curiosity do you paint some of your knex or are they 3D printed? Blue cross ties arent a normal colour as is yellow connectors that are blue, grey/purple corner slot connectors painted white

    • @michawl_

      All parts are OEM knex. The blue cross ties are very rare, and the white 3d connectors are newish. The orange and black tubing is made by a 3rd party.

    Wow, liking it. Regarding your issue of the car stalling if it is going to slow, if the first coil has a third hall effect sensor in the middle, it can maybe detect the speed of the car and adjust the timing of the coil switching.

  • @LameMoviesInc
    @LameMoviesInc 13 дней назад

    First off, awesome work! This is a really cool idea an implementation. Regarding your magic smoke issues, I'm questioning if the inductance (residual current) from the magnetic stators is back feeding into your Pico somehow over a shared ground causing a voltage spike. You should be able to solve this with some flyback diodes. If you want to get super fancy, you could use an H bridge and utilize PWM from your Pico to adjust launch power.

    • @michawl_
