This presentation discusses the design of a solar car, including its technical specifications, suspension, and braking systems. It provides details on the motor, gearing, and torque requirements. A double wishbone suspension is proposed for the front with calculations provided for spring rates and roll centers. Disc brakes are planned for the front and drum brakes for the rear, with analyses of braking forces and torque. Ball joints and rod ends must withstand loads from the suspension and drivetrain.
A solar vehicle, also known as a solar car, is powered by solar energy collected from solar panels on its surface, generally the roof. It consists of a solar array to collect energy from the sun, power trackers and batteries to store and manage solar power, an electric motor powered by the stored solar energy, a speed controller to regulate the motor, a lightweight chassis, and wheels.
The document summarizes the design of a solar panel system to retrofit onto a golf cart. It includes specifications for 8 grade 8 carbon steel bolts used to attach the frame, weld types and stresses, and constraints for the design. Analysis was done on the frame, power system capabilities, vehicle dynamics with added weight, and safety features. The concept design uses two 40W amorphous silicon solar panels that could recharge a depleted battery bank in 19.2 days with 12 hours of sun per day. FEA and calculations showed the frame design would meet stress and displacement limits. Safety features include glass fragment protection, a protective housing, and rubber corners.
A solar powered golf buggy that can travel up to 20 miles on a single charge, reducing CO2 emissions by 280kg. The buggy generates 1.2kWh of power from solar panels costing £500 to install, and can be retrofitted to existing buggies for £3000, cheaper than building a new non-solar powered one. It is designed for professional golfers and intends to contract with golf courses and services elsewhere it sees ample sunshine, like Spain and Portugal.
This document describes the design and development of a small, remotely controlled wheeled robot called Young Buggy. The robot uses an AT89C2051 microcontroller and receives remote control commands through a 433MHz RF receiver module. It is intended to perform tasks in environments unsafe or restricted for humans. The robot has wheels for mobility, a battery for power, and can be equipped with sensors as needed for its applications. The document outlines the robot's design, components, control logic, and limitations.
The document describes the process of designing and building a solar-powered car. It outlines the 6 main steps: 1) designing the electrical system, 2) creating the structure, 3) installing the engine, 4) adding batteries, 5) placing the solar panel. Key advantages are that it uses renewable energy and produces no CO2 emissions, while being self-sufficient thanks to battery power. The main disadvantage is that solar energy alone does not provide enough power to reach high speeds. The conclusion discusses how electric cars are entering the market but current limitations involve maximum speed and short battery range before recharging.
The document describes the design, testing, and results of a student project to build a solar-powered model car. The objectives were to explore applying renewable solar energy and to design a car that uses solar panels and a motor. The car was designed to be lightweight with an aerodynamic shape. Testing showed the car reached its maximum velocity of 27.4 m/s when sunlight was strongest at 1pm, demonstrating the relationship between solar intensity and speed.
The document summarizes the components and process of how a solar-powered car works. It discusses the solar array that converts sunlight to electricity, power trackers that adjust the voltage, batteries that store energy, and a motor and controller that use the stored energy to power the wheels. It notes that if there is no sunlight, emergency batteries will power the car until sunlight is available again.
