Digital model for Hawken's Barn Project/Mobile charging station
In the engineering class during the spring of 2021, the class was split apart and tasked with creating different systems for Hawken's Barn Project. They wanted working prototypes/models that would show how the systems would work. One of the groups designed a solar panel system to power the barn. In the image to the right, you can see a digital model of the actual model/prototype system. You can find more information about the Barn project at https://sites.google.com/hawken.edu/barn2020
Video of final presentation with a voice-over.
This is a video of the final presentation slides with a voice-over to actually help one know what is all said for each slide.
Set up for all of the parts inside system
This is showing what the inside of the model looks like. The power comes from the solar panel on the right and goes through the red shut-off switch. After that, it goes into the black charge controller that keeps the battery from getting overloaded. After the charge controller, it goes to the blue battery or through a fuse and directly to the inverter. The inverter is on the far left and converts the DC power to AC
