E1.06 - Field Mill
Electric Field Mill to help predict lightning.
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Cale Floyd, Jeff Kaczmarek, Ryan Haugstad, Joshua Reyes
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Rich Compeau
Our project is a high efficiency Field Mill to measure the electrostatic field from the atmosphere and wirelessly transmit it back to a PC in a easily discernible graph. Field Mills are used to predict lightning in a general area. While not a guarantee, before lightning strikes there is typically a change in the atmospheric electrostatic field. These products are used to safeguard outdoor applications of all kinds, from rocket launches to construction to combustible material activities.
