Create an interactive Display, to be used to educate and demonstrate to others the uses of Solar Power and Renewable Energy sources such as Wind, solar, ethalene gases, along with their impact on the enviroment and the available options for sources of energy; we will design a small effecient boat using one of the energy sources above.

Solar Sailor

Yes

The boat will be a small one or two seater with a electric motor powered by solar panel and batteries. During the day the boat will charge the batteries with the solar panel when it's not in use. At night the boat will be powered by the batteries if the batteries have enough power stored. There will most likely be a way to plug in the batteries so they can be charged at any time. Also, If Extra energy is produced back from the battery, it would be possible to sell the power back, or use it in other places via a oppositely charged electrical Cord.
