1 Project Report As brief as possible Edit to shorten without removing content Do not describe failures (abandoned ideas) Assume no prior knowledge of project 12 point type 1 ½ spacing Hand in as PDF First Person Narrative The author is THE main character in the story In this project, I designed an electrically commutating motor. I first constructed a rotor and stator, and then added a digital switching circuit. The author is A main characters in the story In this project, my team designed an electrically commutating motor. We first constructed a rotor and stator, and then added a digital switching circuit. 1

2 Second Person Narrative The reader is the main character in the story In this project, you designed an electrically commutating motor. You first constructed a rotor and stator, and then added a digital switching circuit. More commonly In order to design an electrically commutating motor, you first construct a rotor and stator, and then you must add a digital switching circuit. Third Person Narrative Neither the author nor the reader are characters in the story Team Hi-Tork designed an electrically commutating motor. They first constructed a rotor and stator, and then added a digital switching circuit. The main character is absent (BEST) In this project, an electrically commutating motor was designed. A rotor and stator were first constructed, and then a digital switching circuit was added. 2

3 Tense Past tense In this project, an electrically commutating motor was designed. A rotor and stator were first constructed, and then a digital switching circuit was added. Present tense (my preference) In this project, an electrically commutating motor is designed. A rotor and stator are first constructed, and then a digital switching circuit is added. Future tense In this project, an electrically commutating motor will be designed. A rotor and stator will first be constructed, and then a digital switching circuit will be added. Mixed tense (most common / worst choice) In this project, an electrically commutating motor is designed. A rotor and stator were first constructed, and then a digital switching circuit will be added. Efficiency After many group discussions where we compared a large number of possible alternatives, we determined that the best solution involved a servo-motor and cam shaft. Replace vague or useless verbage with details and/or substance After comparing the 3 alternatives shown in Appendix A2-A4, a cam mounted on a servo-motor was found to be the best solution due to 3

4 A & THE You must use the word a before you are entitled to use the word the when referring to something. The voltage regulator used in the power supply is an LM7805. A power supply is designed which must provide 5V DC and a maximum of 1 Amp. It consists of an oscillator circuit, a full bridge rectifier and a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator used in the power supply is an LM7805. A & THE Rule of thumb The refers to a PARTICULAR object. You must define an object before you may refer to it specifically. Just like the word it. A refers to ANY EXAMPLE of an object. Get in the car!!! I am about to leave so get in the car I am driving Get in a car!!! There is lightning so get in any car you can get into 4

5 In the figure of a planetary gear system shown below, clockwise rotation of the driven gear in the centre of the figure, causes counter-clockwise rotation of the three planetary gears which sit in between the driven gear and the outer ring. These planetary gears travel along the large ring gear which is co-centric with the driven gear, and rotate the y- shaped bracket that they are attached to in a clockwise Figures Figures In Figure 1, clockwise rotation of driven gear (a) causes counterclockwise rotation of the planetary gears (b) which travel along ring gear (c) to rotate bracket (d) in a clockwise c b a d Figure 1: Planetary Gear System 5

These planetary gears travel along the large ring gear which is co-centric with the driven gear, and rotate the y- shaped bracket that they are attached to in a clockwise In Figure 1, clockwise rotation of driven gear (a) causes counterclockwise rotation of the planetary gears (b) which travel along ring gear (c) to rotate bracket (d) in a clockwise Figures Always appear BELOW the point where they are first referred to. May appear in Appendix (> ½ page). Always have a figure title if they are not decoration. Are always referred to in the text (if they have a figure title) 6

7 Equations Always appear BELOW the point where they are first referred to. Are each assigned a number in round brackets (1) in the order that they appear. Have all of their variables defined in the text. Equations The most common form of Ohm s Law (1) relates a relative voltage (V) to an absolute current (I) through an impedance (Z). Replacing V with the node voltages, V 1 and V 2 (2), resolves the ambiguity as to which node is the reference node. V IZ V V IZ 1 2 (1) (2) 7
