ABSTRACT
Mini solar car is build and modified from a
toy car.
The car chassis is made up form plastic
foam board.
The combined gear consists of two gear.
The car is designed with the minimize cost.

OBJECTIVE
Mini solar car is able to move faster and go
through the straight line
Make the lighter car
Attractive and practical design
Less friction
Lowest cost

INNOVATION
SOLAR CELL CONNECTION
Using large panel solar (12 volt, 1 watt)
AERODYNAMIC SHAPE
To achieve minimum drag and resistance
GEAR
Use two gear
MATERIAL AND COST
Lowest cost and using recycle material

SCIENTIFIC THEORY

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical

device that converts the energy of light directly
into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.
In this project, the solar panel is chosen as the
energy source to increase the power supply and
reduce the energy loss due to the resistance of a
wire. There is no energy loss to overcome the
resistance in a wire. When the length of wire
increases, the resistance of the wire decreases. All
energy from the sun will be produced enough
electricity to roll the motor and move the car at
the highest speed.
