Unmanned boat Seacharger solar
American engineer Damon McMillan (McMillan Damon) has designed a unique vehicle — an unmanned boat, driven by special electric motor. Energy for operating the engine stock for two solar panels, located in the upper part of the body. The project is called Seacharger, and as an experiment, the boat will try to sail over 3,200 kilometers without a single person on Board.
Work on creating Seacharger lasted almost three years, writes portal PC World, and worked on the boat four people, including the Damon McMillan, which became a kind of captain of this ship. It is he who will drive the boat at a distance of hundreds and even thousands of miles away from her.
Boat Seacharger will be 2000 miles or 3220 miles in the cold waters of the ocean, relying solely on energy from the sun. The development of the project took so much time because the ship was equipped with the latest technology. On the roof Seacharger, the authors placed two ultra-thin solar panels of 100 watts each, which compared to the standard panels of the same power weigh half as much.
Batteries Seacharger accumulate any excess power that you do not have time to consume the engine, causing the boat was able to sail even in cloudy weather and in the dark: the reserve under such conditions is up to three days. To control the Autonomous vessel is a small single Board computer based on Arduino system, paired which has a satellite modem, which is necessary for course corrections and the tracking of the current coordinates of the boat.
The start of the project Seacharger will be given on may 30 from Avila beach, located between the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. The ship will sail to the South-West towards the Hawaiian Islands, where Damon McMillan will meet him in about a month. published
