Create a device that uses electromagnetic propulsion to move an object.--MikeBertrand6 (discuss • contribs) 22:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Conceive
The initial problem was to build a device that moves objects with electromagnetic fields. The group then narrowed the problem down to building a device called a coil gun. These devices use the waves to accelerate objects to extremely high velocities. Examples of coil guns can be seen here: http://hackedgadgets.com/2007/01/27/top-5-coil-guns/.--MikeBertrand6 (discuss • contribs) 22:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Design
The device design requires one major element: high voltage. In order to reach this high voltage, capacitors were the tools that were chosen. Ohms law states that the Voltage of the power source equals the current through the wire times the resistance of the circuit. High voltage will yield high current for the coil. The magnitude of a magnetic field of a coil of wire is equal to the permeability of the core times the current through the coil times the number of coils per unit length. Therefore, high voltage will ultimately lead to a greater magnetic field because higher voltage supplies higher current, and higher current supplies a greater magnetic field.--MikeBertrand6 (discuss • contribs) 22:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
