What Is the Optimum Power of a Solenoid?

CSEF · 2003 Electricity & Electronics

Roy B. Flake · Centerville Elementary School, Sanger

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective is to find the optimum solenoid that will be more powerful and last just as long as the ordinary solenoid. Methods/Materials I took 10 feet each trial of the solenoid then put it into the ramp and tested it to see if it decreased or increased the power of the solenoid. Materials- solenoids,pinballs,wood,plexy glass,wire(hot,common,ground) Results The optimum power was trial #13. 130 feet was removed from the solenoid. Conclusions/Discussion The trials went very smooth . Trials 15-23 kept on going up and down for a while, but on trial 23, it burned out.

Summary statement

My project is to amplify a solenoid so that it is strong and can last long.

Help received

My Dad guided me when I built the ramp.
