Brainstorming for Final Project

We had many ideas, and being very overzealous, along our brainstorming we were even considering building a hovercraft that that would fly using sensors and be powered through solar energy. Needless to say, that plan fell through very quickly. We went through many other possible ideas, some being similar with only minor differences, and some completely different ideas. Here are some of the ideas we were considering:

  • Magnet/Transformer Generator
  • Fruit Power
  • Building Solar panels
  • Building a Wind turbine
  • Build a motor
  • Remote control car, runs on solar or wind
  • Solar Powered hovercraft
  • Catapult
  • Hovercraft Sensor

Our decision was based on price, our resources, and time to build. As much as I would have love to build a hovercraft that runs on solar power, the price to make one out of good material that would be durable could be expensive. But also it could take a long time to make it, and considering we have 3 weeks to get all the materials, build the device, test it to make sure it works properly, and then run the actual experiments, and then prepare the presentation. It would all take too long.

 

Our final decision was a final combination of a few of our ideas. We are going to build a solar powered toy car. This seemed like the most reasonable and doable device we could build. Once we had an idea we then had to decide how to build it. Our final decision was to order a few inexpensive kits to build solr powered cars, because it would be more durable than making our own makeshift cars out of plastic bottles or whatever else we could use.
