Remember why you came to MIT: to learn and to build! This course is a hands-on introduction to design and fabrication. You will learn to use the milling machine, lathe, bandsaw, drill press, and other remarkable tools in order to build anything that you can imagine. This IAP 2010, we will review the basic principles of physics that make DC motors (and other electromagnetic actuators like loud speakers) work. We will look at commercial products that use DC motors. And you will build a DC motor of your own design in the Pappalardo Design Laboratory. A design spin-off at the end of the course will crown the fastest (highest RPM) motor.
