Unit 1 Engineering Design Presentation

The document describes the design and components of a solar-powered vehicle, including: 1) The solar car is powered by solar panels that charge batteries, with an electric motor for propulsion. It can only operate during sunny conditions. 2) The design specifications include solar panels, batteries, a small electric motor, wheels, and a lightweight but strong chassis and body made of cardboard. 3) Assembly involves connecting the solar panels, batteries, motor, and attaching the body and wheels. Safety and environmental benefits are discussed.

INTRODUCTION OF SOLAR CAR
• It can charge only in sunny days.
• The solar cell didn’t work on cloudy days or
rainy days.
• The mechanical system is difficult because it
needs to be strong yet light weight.
•  Solar cars are beneficial because they do not use
fossil fuels and they reduce pollution.
DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Solar car consists of
Solar panel : (6V)
Batteries : 6V
Motor : Small electric motor (Permanent magnetic type DC motor
(3W))
A propulsion system : pulley propulsion and gear propulsion.
Wheel System : 4 wheels (2 front and 2 rear) toy wheels
Chassis : Strong and lightweight
Car body : cardboard
Wheel axles : Stiff wire
Vehicle Dimensions : Maximum length: 25 cm (Front to back)
: Maximum wide: 18 cm (Side to side)

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
• Safer than traditional electric current
• Solar power is pollution free and causes no
greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation
• Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels
• Renewable clean power that is available every day of
the year, even cloudy days produce some power
• Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills
ADVENTAGES AND DISADVENTAGES OF PRODUCTION

A D V E N TA G E S D I S A D V E N TA G E S

• Use batteries to store extra • No solar power at night so


power for use at night there is a need for a large
• Solar can be used to heat battery bank
water, power homes and • Devices that run on DC
building, even power cars power directly are more
• Excess power can be sold expensive
back to the power • Cloudy days do not
company if grid intertied produce much energy
