Chapter 3: Kicking device<br />

<strong>the</strong> project, a more powerful motor should allow to reduce this time. The selected<br />

components will be used <strong>for</strong> testing purposes and to verify <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>the</strong>matical<br />

model.<br />

3.4.2.3 Releasing process<br />

In this paragraph, <strong>the</strong> releasing process is discussed. The <strong>for</strong>ce at <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

release is set at <strong>the</strong> maximum compressed <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spring.<br />

Figure 17: Plunger and ball speed as function <strong>of</strong> time<br />

In figure 17, <strong>the</strong> plunger velocity is given as function <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> time. At approximately 2<br />

ms, <strong>the</strong> speed drops because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact with <strong>the</strong> ball. From that time, <strong>the</strong><br />

plunger speed is equal to <strong>the</strong> ball speed. The final speed <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ball is equal to 7m/s.<br />

This is lower than <strong>the</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> 10 m/s. Again, this setup will be used <strong>for</strong> testing<br />

purposes. When a good design is created, a more powerful motor can be mounted.<br />
