Abstract

Initial release of the Quadrant Actuator Machine (QAM). The Quadrant Actuator Machine (QAM) is an arena for experimental tests that consists of a removable Petri dish, four pull-type electromagnets and four quadrant-shaped hammers, separated by a margin and two walls to minimize vibration cross-talk. A PETG 3D-printed base holds the four electromagnets fitted with hammers. Another 3D-printed structure, (the crown holding the Petri dish), sits on top of it, held in place by a pair of 3D-printed grips. This project was supported by the strategic programme Excellence Initiative at Jagiellonian University, Poland (RSM/122/FP).
