A Software Based Land Vehicle Manufacturing and Investigation of Operability with Alternative Energy Sources

Abstract

Research in recent years has revealed that fossil fuels are running out and that energy production needs to be done in different ways. Solar energy is one of the sources used for this energy production. Solar energy has many application areas and has recently attracted attention as a clean energy source in the world. With the increasing interest in renewable and sustainable energy systems, solar-powered cars have also come to the fore. Prototypes of solar-powered cars/vehicles are being developed day by day. As solar-powered cars become common, not only will environmental pollution be reduced, but also noise pollution will be reduced. In line with all this information, this study it is aimed to design a prototype of solar cars, which will be the cars of the future. The make block program was used in the design of the prototype. Easy to install, this mBot is inspired by Scratch 2.0 and works with mBlock, allowing it to connect with computers or smart devices via Bluetooth or 2.4G (a different version) and this work, providing details about an experimental solar-powered land vehicle prototype. The electrical and mechanical features of the prototype are detailed. It is predicted that the product developed as a result of the study may be an exemplary prototype for future research.
