Another success in the hand of the KIIT engineering students is designing of a solar car which is a completely electrical and electronic vehicle powered by solar energy and is the future of automobile industry globally.
The solar car ‘Yuva’ consists of solar panels overhead and has a power intake of 80W each. It charges four batteries each delivering an output of around 40 Amp Hr.
“We have synchronised two BlOC hub motors with a planetary gear system situated in rear wheels each rating to 250W and 20 AmpHr.This home project has been guided by faculty advisor Isham Panigrahi complimented by the mentorship of Er Akhilesh Dewangan,” said a student. The team consisting of 24 members is named Yuva under the captainship and vice-captainship of Shadab Ahmed and Abhishek Kumar Sinha, respectively.
