POE Ballistic Device 2015
Bradley and Steven
Problem Statement
A leading hobby company is looking to improve an existing launcher design. The device must launch a projectile using the materials provided. The device must be adjustable so the projectile launches can be precise at varying distances. The Winning design will receive cash for a patent that can can be mass-produced as a kit and sold to the public. Members from the company will be present during the launching phase of the process.
Design Statement
In our POE class me and my partner have been tasked with redesigning a ballistic device to improve it and make it more efficient by launching a projectile varying distances with precision and accuracy.
Constraints
Must be constructed using the materials outlined by the instructor, it must be adjustable to different angles including: 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 degrees, it must have the same initial velocity at any adjustable angle, and it must launch a projectile at least 15 ft.
