About CarQon Solar Rota tal-Merkanzija Elettrika

Il-CarQon Solar hija rota tal-merkanzija elettrika mħaddma bl-enerġija solari. Il-pannelli solari huma mqiegħda fuq il-kaxxa ta' quddiem u jerġgħu jimlew il-batteriji tar-rota. Il-pannelli huma mgeżwra madwar il-kaxxa sabiex id-dawl tax-xemx jinġabar minn diversi angoli. Id-dawl tax-xemx ukoll isaħħan il-kaxxa ta' quddiem, u t-tisħin minn qabel jista' jiġi kkontrollat permezz ta' applikazzjoni mobbli dedikata. Fil-kostruzzjoni jintużaw l-aluminju, il-karbonju, l-azzar u l-injam. Ir-rota tkejjel 220 bi 90 bi 95 ċentimetru u tiżen 35 kilogramma. L-għan huwa li tingħata soluzzjoni ta' trasport ta' kuljum nadif, imħaddma bix-xemx.

Tags
electric bicycle, bike, bike, cargo bike
Production Technology
A variation of materials are used to realise this vehicle. Alluminium, Carbon, steel and wood and then of course the solar panels.
Design Challenge
The creative challenge has been to develop the solar panels and wrap them around the box.
Research
We have researched how much power we could harvest with the solar panels attached to the bike. It showed us we could harvest enough power for the bike never to be recharged again
Inspiration
We have been in inspired by the nature of the sun. The sun provides the energy source for our vehicle. This is the perfect vehicle for such an application as the front box has sufficient areas for the sun to harvest energy. Energy enough for the bike never to be recharged.
Project Duration
12 month from first sketch to final product. Location of development: Zagreb and Apeldoorn
Operation Flow
The sun is the biggest power source imaginable, it provides us with endless energy
in the form of light. We can use solar cells to convert some of this energy into
electricity. At Solar Application Lab we use this clean and abundant resource, to
power our everyday lives and gain more personal freedom. Solar App provide
unprecedented design freedom by ensuring a stable power output with any sort
of solar cell, at any size, even when partially shaded or if light falls on it at an
angle. So, if we gave you endless energy and infinite ways to apply it, what
application could enhance your personal freedom?
