The Solar Powered Boat Motor - Coggle Diagram
The Solar Powered Boat Motor
Capture Light energy with solar panels
Conversion of Light energy to electrical energy
Store electrical energy in battery
Monitor Battery with voltage and temperature
Distribute power of battery into Motor (using temperature of battery)
Exterior of Motor
Covered in Solar Panels
the solar panels are around 1.5 in thick
the solar panels connect to solar battery with negative and positive wires (voltage will possibly be 12 volts)
Propeller
Adjustable Length propeller using the same functionality of a crutch (the metal holes indicate how long the propeller can be based on depth of water)
3D print of propeller using Onshape
If we are unable to 3D print, we will need to purchase a propeller and motor for propeller
The Inside of propeller motor consists of ball bearing in order for the propellers to spin
Electric Motor
Connection from solar battery to electric motor
Solar Battery powers the motor through wire connections
And a connection to propeller
Digital Display
This will require programming
We will need a screen for battery life and solar effiiciency
The screen needs to provide how long it takes for the battery to charge from the solar panels
Alternative solar panels could be used outside of our design for more power or faster charge (consumers can buy their own solar panels if they wish)
