Design and Fabrication of A Solar Boat Model

Abstract

The environment awareness has been developed worldwide so progressively and turns into the instant needs over the last few years. Researchers in all disciplines have a particular responsibility of development which is environmentally friendly and lead towards sustainable future development. Solar energy is a comsic renewable energy source which has massive energy existing as heat and light and can convert it into electricity. Besides the domestic uses, solar power can be utilized as the alternative of the oil in boat’s fuel and capable of minimizing the water pollution and fuel cost as well. The purpose of this research is to design and fabricate a boat based on solar power. The boat will be conducted by the energy processed from solar by minimizing environmental pollution and fuel cost. Besides, for any cloudy or emergency condition, a backup power system integrated with the photovoltaic cell will drive the boat to make the system more secured. Both mechanical and electrical part of the boat has been designed which is found more reliable, efficient and economic.
