Journal Entry Week 2
I have decided to make a mini solar powered boat. I will use solar cells and wires to transfer the solar energy to the propellers and the motor. The boat will be remote controlled and will be tested in the pond.
Here are the sketches I have made so far, as a rough draft and first ideas:
The materials that I have in mind right now are:
- wires
- solar cells
- 2 small soda bottles
- propellers (2)
- motor
- remote control system
- Styrofoam or plastic
- paint
Here is a example similar to what I am planning to achieve:
