One problem that all motorists want to avoid is to remain outside the center of the battery. Although there are commercial alternatives for solutions, such as a portable charger, the conventional process takes approximately eight hours of implementing this process.
As an option, Automotive Systems-level student from School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (ESIME) Acutance, National Polytechnic Institute, built a solar charger can supply power to the battery in just two hours.
Master Nava Omar Rodriguez, the project consultant, explained that this technology uses the cost of battery and generator units powered by solar energy. This system uses photovoltaic panels with a length of 1.2 meters 90 cm than 85 watts, this system was built tubular base where they are placed and fitted frequency circuits for the battery box. Through this process the energy reaches an electronic circuit to control the battery power, so the battery does not suffer from the heat and through the transistor to control the injected dose.
Technology polytechnic found that the battery is given in a shorter time period than that used by senders of commercial master Acutance ESIME said. “The difference is that with commercial electrical power goes directly from the outlet and in the process we capture the sun.”
This proposal needs an average of two hours to supply car battery. To which only needs to be placed in the charger, detect, and began to pass power to the circuit fails to deliver once the battery is full. At this time, the design of a car battery can be charged without the make or model of vehicle, the proposed technology is to save battery energy needs.
Solar energy charger could become an additional attachment to the car, plus if you make some adjustments in remote communities can be used to provide power to various equipment.
This project involves students Miguel Jimenez Zavala, Cesar Antonio Hernandez Calve, Agile Alfredo Rodriguez, Luis Pablo Hausa Parade, Jesus and Abraham Israel Mascara Romero Jimenez, won first place in the first edition of the Award for Research on Transport and Mobility gives Mexican Association of Transport and Mobility (AMTM). This proposal aims to polytechnics in future patent charger automotive solar present and sell them, because some companies show interest in purchasing the design. (ID Agency).
