Problem
Ground traffic congestion and fossil fuel energy insufficiency have become increasingly pressing. Urban areas face significant traffic jams, leading to prolonged travel times and air pollution. The reliance on fossil fuels exacerbates these problems, as the energy supply struggles to meet the demand.
Purpose and Solutions
Our project aims to build a solar energy-powered hovering car operating in three-dimensional spaces, which effectively utilizes horizontal and vertical spaces (on the roads and in the sky) to reduce reliance on roads and alleviate congestion. The solar energy reduces the dependency on fossil fuels.
Design Description
Our final solution is to build a system connecting the power station and the model. The components were compiled in Table 1. and Table 2. :
Solar Panels | Generate Energy |
Mirrors | Concentrate Sunlight |
Adjustable Resistance | Control Power Output |
