Solar Car Data Collection System Matt Boyden Rene Dupuis Ryan Lavallee

Project Description Building miniature solar cars is a very common activity for teaching school kids about renewable energy. This was done this past summer at Vermont Tech and it is done all over the country. There are many solar car kits available for this type of activity. What does not exist is a way for teachers and students to collect data on the energy production and use - how much energy is used when the car is operated, how much is collected by the solar panel, how the power use changes over time when the car is operated, etc. All of this information would significantly enhance the learning experience for the students and the teacher. What is needed is a small, light data logging device specifically designed to interface with a typical educational solar car kit. The data collection system would need to collect time dependent data and then provide for the data to be downloaded and analyzed for learning.

Project Requirements Record data for a specific amount of time Interface with a computer to easily output the information in a way that can be used for educational purposes The product must be light enough and use little power so as not to change the performance of the car
