Postdoc position at Maglab

Novel magnetic sensors for position, speed and electric current The candidate is expected to develop new design methods and new sensor principles, use novel materials and devices to open the path towards substantially higher precision, speed of response, resistance to external magnetic fields and lower power consumption. He will develop novel semi-analytic methods allowing fast […]

LVICE2 in MAGLAB

Since June 2022 we work on LVICE2 – Lunar VIcinity Complex Environmental Explorer – mission to visit near-Moon space and gather some interesting data there. MAGLAB is responsible for development and delivery of two magnetometers. The first one, fluxgate sensor based, will be used to study plasma and solar wind turbulences. The second, AMR based […]

Electromagnetic Can Crasher

ECC is a popular device that nicely demonstrates the laws of physics. We decided to build a small one for the pre-Christmas physics show here at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague Fyzikální čtvrtky | FEL ČVUT . Warning: The device is extremely dangerous in terms of electric shock hazard. Do […]

LED – CUBE

What happens when electronics, programming, physics and mathematics come together? LED-CUBE – the final project of Honza Hřebec from the subject “Laboratory of Industrial Electronics and Sensors” from the Cybernetics and Robotics study program. Six panels, each with 64 Neopixel LEDs, are connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller along with a three-axis AMR magnetic […]

UAV-MAG again in Australia

UAV fluxgate magnetometer from MAGLAB was flying again in south hemisphere, this time exploring the salty Acraman crater in South Australia. Worked nicely, see the pictures provided by Marian Takac. The recorded magnetic data are being prepared for publication…

UAV-MAG at Alaska

Another set of UAV-MAG triaxial fluxgate magnetometers from MAGLAB is measuring magnetic fields around the globe, recently close to Anchorage, Alaska, USA. The drone unit sensor got a nice skirt to help with stabilization during the flight. It helps to keep orientation steady which improves overall data quality (less disturbances caused by non-compensated residual non-orthogonalities […]

New 3D “Merritt” coils in MAGLAB

Generation of various magnetic fields is basic activity needed for magnetic sensors development testing and calibration. Ideally one can take advantage of a system that can generate an arbitrary vector of magnetic field. In this case a triaxial coil system is needed. Often the coils are made as Helm-holtz coil system (two circular coils per […]

Magnetic Field Probe with MMC5983

Created within the Team project in the first year of Master’s study program Cybernetics and Robotics at FEE, CTU in Prague – Authors: Roman Zima, Matúš Kaintz, Vít Machanec and Vojtěch Nydrle, supervised by Vojtech Petrucha (2021). It proved to be a useful tool to roughly check the magnetic field in various places as well […]

Inertial Cube

Česká verze níže… This post documents a fun demonstration experiment made for Maker Faire Prague 2021. Somewhere in our big faculty cellar we found an unused spare part of a flywheel intended probably for Mig-21 fighter jet attitude indicator. It looked as a very precisely made piece of engineering, so it would very inappropriate to […]
