Solar Powered GoKart
Go Kart is basically an open wheel car having less ground clearance and low center of gravity as compared to normal cars. generally, these cars are used for racing and obstacle racing. Both electric motor and engine can be used as power source. petrol and diesel (two strokes or four strokes) can be used as fuel. In our project, we are going to use an electric powered go Kart having battery and solar panel as a power source.

Project Description:

  1. 1600w 48v BLDS motor : An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The reverse of this is the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and is done by an electric generator, which has much in common with a motor.
  2. 1600w 48v speed controller : An electronic speed control or ESC is an electronic circuit that controls and regulates the speed of an electric motor. It may also provide reversing of the motor and dynamic braking. Miniature electronic speed controls are used in electrically powered radio controlled models.
  3. Hand throttle : A throttle is the mechanism by which fluid flow is managed by the constriction or obstruction. An engine's power can be increased or decreased by the restriction of inlet gases (by the use of a throttle), but usually decreased.
  4. Rechargeable LIacid battery: A rechargeable battery, storage battery, secondary cell, or accumulator is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.
  5. Ignition Switch: For the initial ignition of the go ignition it's basically an spring electric contact switch.

Final Step:
