Solar Boat Competition
Posted on 03. May, 2012 by admin.
Mr. Foster’s Introduction to Engineering Design will compete in a Solar Boat Regatta in St.Paul, on Saturday May 19th. This solar boat project will involve unique learning experiences in solar electricity, wiring motors, and fluid dynamics. This activity will enhance practical knowledge of electricity, creative uses of renewable energy, hands-on applied learning, and teamwork.
Students are currently working on designing and constructing two different solar boats. The larger boat will be entered into the experimental class and will be powered by a 24Volt-185 Watt Silicon Energy Solar Panel. This boat was named the “Poseidon’s Iron Devil”. The second solar boat will be entered into the student class competition and will use a 12Volt-55Watt Panel. This boat is named the “Virginia Blue-Ray”. We want to thank our community sponsors for making this project possible. Our sponsors are: Silicon Energy, Virginia Community Foundation, Minnesota Power, Carl Perkins Federal Grant, IDEA Drilling, L&M Supply, and Spring Creek Outfitters. If you’d like to follow our progress check out our Virginia Engineering Club Website.
