MAGNETAR Testing: Holding Force (> 40 lbs.) Results ● Avg. of 47.5 lbs. 2.009 SILVER 8

MAGNETAR Testing: Power Requirement (<5 W) Results ● 2.5 W generated ● 35 lb holding force when pedal-powered 2.009 SILVER 9

MAGNETAR Testing: Release Time (< 1 sec) Results ● Braking- 1 sec delay 2.009 SILVER 10

MAGNETAR Findings & Next Steps • Force: Sufficient holding forces from 50 g electromagnet • Power: Sufficient power available • Release : 1 second delay 2.009 SILVER 11
