SunCar project - 1st semester

We decided to make a prototype on a smaller scale of an automobile utilizing solar energy for its operation, will be as follows: the car will have a photovoltaic plate attached to the ceiling, and the energy generated by the plate will allow the car to run and also charge your battery. When you can not use the card for energy, this battery will be used for the vehicle to work.

  • Reasons for the development of the project:
Today cars are one of the means most used to travel in cities, and the emission of pollutants made by them is very high. With an electric car, the emission of pollutants is practically nil.
Spending that people have with alcohol / gasoline will decrease a lot, even more today that the prices are too high, because the car uses solar power for its operation, and the cost of fuel will be zero.
Gasoline is made from oil, which is a finite resource in nature. It is obvious that the oil reserves has the potential to last long, but using a car that has as an energy source as solar, the human being is no longer dependent on a finite resource in this area.

  • Main challenges:
Develop an efficient alternative for when the photovoltaic board can not generate enough energy for the automobile.
Cause the car make the most of solar power generated, so it has a good performance.

  • Starting Materials:
• Shopping Cart RC RC +
• rechargeable batteries type
• photovoltaic board
• Copper wire (to interconnect circuits)
• Tin (welding)
• LED (to indicate when the card is receiving solar energy)
• Charging batteries of pain (to adapt on our board)


SunCar project - 2nd semester

For the 2nd half will perfect the prototype built in the first half. We will work with infrared transmitters and receivers in order to create an intelligent system for driving the car.

When the sensors detect that is very close to another vehicle or an obstacle, it will reduce (or stop it if necessary) and prevent the occurrence of the collision. For example, when trying to slam the prototype into a wall, it will stop you when you are near and prevent keep going forward and could only turn back.

Our idea is to work with a small electronic board adapted the prototype with these components, trying to keep it light and also make sure that the battery will power all components. For the battery, we will seek to improve its efficiency with a photovoltaic plate, so that the energy to be stored faster and can feed all components satisfactorily.


  • · Reasons for development of intelligent driving:



                                                   Number of deaths worldwide traffic

Due to the large number of vehicles on the streets every day, accidents occur very often, and are responsible for many deaths each year. We believe that this intelligent driving system using accessible components is a major step that can reduce the occurrence of accidents drastically. Below is some information on the number of traffic accidents in recent years.

  • Project objectives:
Our group aims to be able to add these components to be used for intelligent driving successfully in prototype, and that works together with the food she made photovoltaic board. Thus, we will be putting together a clean energy source with a device that will bring more security to the vehicles.

  •  Materials used:
- Plate pre-drilled universal printed circuit
- Til 32
-Til 78
-Soldering iron
- Tin
- Prototype 1st half
