Undergraduate Engineering Students Enhance Novel Instrumentation to Detect the Mach Effect Peter Mark Jansson PE PhD and Peter S. Kaladius Bucknell UniversityAbstract – Undergraduate electrical engineers performing summer research have enhanced thereal-time data collection system of one of their professor’s novel detectors to uncover someremarkable results. Over the past two summers at Bucknell University students in engineeringhave been working on an innovative detector that has repeatedly produced results indicative of areal Machian like reaction force to inertia. Each summer (2018 and 2019) multiple studentscontinued to make electrical enhancements and

Given thisprocess, the only required input is resistance, which can be measured indirectly via voltage. Thiscan be assessed by an appropriately sized voltage divider, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8

exercise challenges student to consider what error(s)and considerations must be made to appropriately calibrate and characterize and instrumentwithout a step-by-step lab handout.4 - Strain Measurement, Signal Conversion, & Quantization ErrorsA strain gage is carefully mounted by students to an aluminum beam using a manufacturer’sinstallation and data sheet. With the gage affixed, the beam is mounted in a cantilever fashionafter which a series of weights are suspended to it in a sequential test. The resistance of the straingage is measured for each series of weights. Next, a Wheatstone bridge is constructed in a ¼bridge configuration. A series of weights are suspended again in a sequential test after which thebridge output voltage is measured
