Solar Car

I created a highly efficient modified go-cart that ranked at the top of its division alongside my team.

Here is the finalized design of the solar car's rear end, which shows the added differential and structure. We bought the cart as gas-powered and converted it to electric. We also added solar panels as the roof because part of the competition's criteria was that the only way you could recharge for all four races was by using the sun. After sketching many prototypes, we worked through each specification and designed the most effective solution. During this project, I gained skills such as welding and electrical wiring.

We also had to remake the braking system when reworking the cart, which involved added attachments and quick problem-solving as the deadline approached quickly.
