Fan Feedback
Introduction
The purpose of the fan feedback lab is to control the speed of a with an infrared photo-transistor and an infrared LED. Above is the fan feedback assembly made by Michael O'Keefe. The spec and data sheets for each the transistor, LED and fan can be found in the links below. Also below the fan feedback schematic can be seen along with the block diagram. This block diagram is easily simplified because it is the most basic representation of it and has no set values for the variables.

Above is also the root locus equation and describes the MATLAB code that represents the system organized by Professor Birkett.
Below you can find six pictures of our attempt to replicate the impulse response of our fan (with pennies).
