Project Outcome: Working model of a Solar Boat
Project Description: The project focused on designing and building a working solar-powered boat to demonstrate energy conversion principles while promoting sustainability and renewable energy. The boat was equipped with high-efficiency solar panels to harness sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which powered the motor. A battery storage system was also integrated to store excess energy, ensuring functionality even in low sunlight conditions. By eliminating the need for fossil fuels, the project emphasized the importance of renewable energy in reducing environmental impact and highlighted the potential of clean energy for everyday transportation. The team successfully constructed a functional solar-powered boat, showcasing how solar energy can be converted into mechanical energy for practical use. Through this initiative, they educated their peers and community on the potential of renewable energy and inspired discussions about sustainable transportation solutions. The project provided valuable hands-on experience in engineering and sustainability, enhancing the team’s technical, problem-solving, and teamwork skills while making a meaningful contribution to the conversation on reducing our carbon footprint.
