Dugan Karnazes, 12, Laura Pollum, 10, and Brandan Walters, 10, worked as a team in the Physics 245 course during the spring semester to levitate a magnet using a synthetic electromagnetic field the students created. The project was based on a junior and senior level systems control project at MIT, but the Albion students took it a step further by introducing a function generator which allows the operator to control how far the magnet levitates from the sensor. This content item is enhanced by a video produced by Tommy Kraft, 13, showing Karnazes and Walters in the physics lab.
