homemade solar powered desktop plane

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 18:48:34 +0000

just for fun, i took one of those solar garden light circuit, soldered in some AAA NiCad’s and a two way switch to select “charge” or “run” mode, bent up some coat hanger, and threw everything on top of a vcr head. then i made a plane out of misc parts, and balanced everything.

yes, it runs by itself, but it takes a couple hours to charge up.

Piccard unveils solar plane prototype

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:55:32 +0000

Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard has been dreaming for years of becoming the first pilot to circumnavigate the earth using solar energy alone. The dream has come one step nearer to reality with the unveiling of the Solar Impulse, the prototype of a plane that has taken six years to design and build. (Julie Hunt, SF1, swissinfo.ch)

electric hydroplane solar powered boat

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:32:25 +0000

Please help contribute to my engineering projects by taking a quick survey or making a donation. Please visit: http://andrewmarzban.tech.officelive.com

we took our solar powered boat that we built for a competition and stuck hydrofoils hoping to make it go even faster but they did not work too well. i think it is because of a combination of weight distribution, hydrofoil shape, and pitch of the foils.

i know it does not look solar powered but, there are 2 120w solar pannels that we decided not to put on for the testing. instead we just ran it off 36v of batteries. the motor has about 15hp peak and 5 continuous.
