2. Problem:
Crossing the obstacles of the
Circuito Solar EPM 2016 race:
roughness, slope and shadow.
Main goal
Research question:
How to determine the most
appropriate type of wheels,
transmition system (pulley,
chain, gear, etc), capture and
storage of energy, number of
engines, traction and mass
distribution for a vehicle
powered by photovoltaic solar
energy able to move in a straight
line as fast as possible, from
point A to point B, crossing
different obstacles (roughness,
slope and shadow).
To design and build a vehicle
powered by photovoltaic solar
energy able to move in a
straight line as fast as possible,
from point A to point B,
crossing different obstacles
(roughness, slope and shadow)
through the evaluation of
different variables (traction,
wheels, mass distribution,
numbers ofengines,
transmission system, capture
and storage of energy) on a
base prototype.
Specific goals:
-To determine the most appropiate
transmition system (pulley, chain,
gear, etc) to build a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic
solar energy able to move in a
straight line as fast as possible,
from point A to point B, crossing
different obstacles (roughness,
slope and shadow).
-To determine the most appropriate
mass distribution to build a vehicle
powered by photovoltaic solar
energy able to move in a straight
line as fast as possible, from point
A to point B, crossing different
obstacles (roughness, slope and
shadow).
-To determine the most appropriate
number of engines to build a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic
solar energy able to move in a
straight line as fast as possible,
from point A to point B, crossing
different obstacles (roughness,
slope and shadow).
