Design and Modeling of a Catapulting Magnetic Transmission for Tuning Energy Storage and Release

The purpose of this work is to generate design rules and models for a catapulting magnetic leadscrew transmission. These rules and models empower scientists and engineers with the ability to tune energy storage and release, and thereby increase the peak specific power (power/mass) of an actuator. Th...
