This week I was successfully able to pressurize the system and launch a projectile. I charged the tank with approximately 10psi as a small starting point to ensure that the tank would hold.
I was also able to hook up the solenoid valve which is used in conjunction with a remote trigger that allows the user to trigger the launcher from a safe location. This is achieved using a relay attached to the valve which sends a signal for the valve to open.
Next week, I will be constructing the pendulum and setting up the measurement devices in order to collect data.
