M1.03 - Electric Field Mill
Functional mill that can predict lightning strikes.
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Bryce Raybon, Markell Evans, Musa Kurugu
Faculty Advisor: Dr. James Davidson
Creating an electric field mill to predict lightning strikes by measuring the atmospheric electric field on the ground. This electromechanical device will feature a fully motorized a rotating vane as well as a rugged weatherproof encasing/housing to protect the inner electric workings of the electric field mill. The electric field mill is measured by a sensor plate featuring two pairs of electrodes which are shielded and unshielded by the rotating vane in order to create a dynamic & changing field that can be measured.
