High-Level Project Summary
We have developed a new type of nut. Which has electromagnets to hold 2 pieces together, when they have reverse polarities. Our nut can be split into 2 equal pieces, which has 2 electromagnets induced by high voltages. Also, it has the capability to merge with its pieces. Since we did not use an explosive to spilt the nut, we have achieved the goal of the challenge, we have let it go without a bang. The idea is actually pretty simple, when we have a coil we can create an electromagnet by inducing it. When the polarities are the same, they will push each other. Otherwise, they will pull each other. Our project is important, because; It keeps space clean and It has reusability.

Detailed Project Description
Exactly, this device acts like a traditional nut. However, it can be separated in two parts. Both sides of the nut has two different electromagnets that has been connected in parallel which will have the same voltage difference. We are controlling the polarization of electromagnets via an Arduino and relay circuit. By the base of those actions, it has the capability of pushing and pulling actions. Through all, it is a reusable product. We preferred to bring a solution to this challenge which is magnetic instead of mechanical. So, we avoid the explosion and we have let it go without a bang!
Space Agency Data
We used the spesific resources that has been shared with us by NASA. We used the data on planing and designing process. We took some references and data to make our project's structural analysis.
Hackathon Journey
It was totally worth. All the team members has learned different programs and different physics equations. We practiced Ansys, Solidworks and Fritzing. Our majors made us to choose this challenge. We wanted to improve our engineering skills.
