1. Balloon Fest Team Volcanic Chinchillas: Simon Schoennauer and Collin Moore

2. Purpose/Method To extend time in air of glider Motor Solar panels

6. Expectations With solar panels should last longer Without it should stop sooner

8. Results Solar panels charged battery Glider unable to have sustained flight Attempts at sustained flight Time motor running:40min without, 44 with

11. Data Solar panels: 100ma at 7.2v(each one) Motor draws 2.4amps Battery takes 1.6amp hours to charge To charge the battery with solar panels it would take 8 hours To power motor constantly at full throttle it would take 24 solar of the above sized solar panels

12. Conclusions Glider could not sustain flight Solar panels would only make the motor run 4min longer Not worth the trouble and cost (although very cool)
