Klinostat Tiga Dimensi sebagai Simulator Mikrogravitasi untuk Berbagai Eksperimen Tanpa Bobot
Abstract
Abstrak
Sebuah klinostat tiga dimensi (3-D) telah dirancang untuk menyediakan sebuah lingkungan dengan gravitasi sangat kecil (mikrogravitasi) bagi berbagai percobaan tanpa bobot. Besarnya gravitasi berhubungan dengan kecepatan sudut dari perputaran klinostat tersebut. Dua buah rangka berbentuk segi empat diputar pada sumbu rotasi y-z dengan menggunakan dua motor DC dan kecepatannya diatur oleh mikrokontroler AT89S52 dengan menggunakan prinsip pulse width modulation (PWM). Alat ini telah diuji selama 8 jam tanpa henti untuk berbagai kecepatan sudut di bawah 17 rpm (rotation per minute). Telah didapatkan bahwa alat ini berfungsi dengan baik.
Kata kunci: gaya sentrifugal, kecepatan sudut, klinostat, mikrogravitasi, rotasi.
Abstract
A three-dimensional (3-D) clinostat has been designed to provide an environment with very small gravity (microgravity) for weightless experiments. The obtained gravity is closely related to the angular speed of the clinostat rotation. Two rectangular frames are rotated by employing two DC motors around the y-z rotation axis and its angular speed is controlled by an AT89S52 microcontroller using the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. Eight-hour continuous operations have been done for various angular speeds below 17 rpm. It has been found that the clinostat functions well.
Keywords:angular velocity, centrifugal force, clinostat, microgravity, rotation.
