2. Purpose
This ambitious project provides a source of portable electric power for camping, tailgating and other outdoor events. It aims to convert solar, wind and hydro methods of producing power at your disposal. The goal is to provide 12 Volt and 110 Volt output but at low Amps for things such as LED lighting, small fans, radios, phones and other modern electronic needs.

3. Solar Power 4 – 6 Volt, 9 Watt, 1.5 Amp panels
Two panels connected in series for 12 Volts
Two 12 Volt connected in parallel for 3 Amps
Automated for rotation for max sun collection

4. Variables/Challenges
Programming auto rotation
Photo eye
Motor Brackets
Overall construction and logistics

5. Wind Power Collapsible frame and weather resistant fabric
Attached directly to gear box on top of generator

6. Variables/Challenges
Durability and functionality of materials
Fabric design for maximum production - surface area
Rod design
Logistics of for easy attachment/detachment

7. Water Power Classic water wheel design for rotation
Double function as part of transportation
Low density, structural durability
Rod design

8. Variables/Challenges
Rod design for expansion without loss of rotation
Wheel design strong enough for transportation and rod connection
External connection to gear box/ Lockable
Reducing torque on gear box

9. Gear Box Design for dual purpose – wind/ water applications
Transfer rotation to armature

10. Armature and Stator Design for maximum efficiency
Researching single vs dual systems

11. Battery Bank Light weight/ weather proof
Single battery vs multiple batteries/Configuration
Type of battery – Flooded/ Gel/ AGM
Battery monitoring system
Regulation of system

12. Monitoring System Interface
Allows user to see real-time SOC/ DOD
Power production vs consumption
Programming the interface
Cost analysis of components

13. Inverter
DC to AC
120 V 10 Amps (goal)
Circuit breaker

14. Timeline of Deliverables
October 7th - 28th – Complete comprehensive mock-up of solar panels, size parameters, needed input-output, wiring, cost-analysis, efficiency.
November 1st – 14th – Comprehensive mock-up of wind turbine with respect to gear box, fielding materials, sizing, functionality, cost and output efficiency.
November 15th – 29th - Same with water turbine, size, materials, rod design, cost and contributive effectiveness.
During this time, research and development will be applied across the board, while core focus is on the components producing energy to the system.
