Description
This project focuses on the redesigning process of a projectile launcher apparatus utilized in physics education environments. Affordability was one of the main factors accounted for throughout the project, and it was achieved by implementing 3D printing, and by simplifying pre-existing solutions. The outcomes of the project include: the design of a fully functional projectile launcher with less than 5% errors, and a detailed manual that indicates how to build your own, as well as, how to experiment with it in order to explore the physics behind projectile motion.
