We began by removing all of the electrical components from the motorcycle and carefully documenting (via pictures and diagrams) where each component came from and how it was connected to other parts.<\/p>\n
A look at the original state of the electrical system<\/strong><\/p>\n After this, we matched components to the original manual and carefully labeled each part.\u00a0 With this finished, we began to learn more about circuits using a circuit simulator.\u00a0 We then reconstructed the circuit on the simulator (focusing on the spark plug and stator system).\u00a0 We experimented with how different values of capacitance, resistance, and inductance in the circuit affected the sparking system.\u00a0 Once we had an adequate understanding of the system, we measured the actual capacitance, resistance, and inductance of the components that we had removed from the motorcycle.<\/p>\n As the semester moved along, we began to understand each of the components of the electrical system of the bike: the alternator, the points, the coil, and the wire harness.\u00a0 (For more information, follow the subheading key components).\u00a0 We spent a great deal of time constructing the wire harness.\u00a0 In the history of the class, the electrical team had never built the actual wire harness for their bike.\u00a0 Fortunately, we were able to build a working wire harness for our bike from scratch. (See the subheading wire harness under the key components for more details about the wire harness).<\/p>\n As we worked on the wire harness, we began to learn about the theory behind the electrical system.\u00a0 In the theory\/physics review part of our website, we first explain how a spinning magnet and a coil (which essentially is an alternator) produce a voltage.\u00a0 Next, we explain the energy transfer system, drawing comparisons to a battery ignition system.<\/p>\n We conclude our part of the website with our actual power point presentation that we provided in class.<\/p>\n Erick Chen, David Dohan, Mason Soun, Adam Suczewski As the electrical team, it is our job to disassemble the electrical system on the motorcycle.\u00a0 The previous owner of the motorcycle changed the electrical system, so we need determine the original components and modified components.\u00a0 Our goal is to understand how the electrical system functions and … Continue reading “Electrical”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":262,"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commons.princeton.edu\/64-tiger-cub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
