This presentation outlines the development of a battery-free Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) by Team 8. It covers the design process, which utilized physics calculations and extensive testing to optimize coil and magnet configurations. The team faced and overcame obstacles related to magnet orientation and coil design, achieving significant voltage generation at various speeds. Key accomplishments include the successful design of test apparatus and circuit improvements, all managed within budget. Next steps involve further refinement of the TPMS components and testing methods.
