Question

How does solar panels and solar energy affect the time of simple house work such as Drying clothes?

For hundreds of years humans have been using the sun for many reasons, drying clothes, producing light, starting fires, etc.. One of the greatest resent inventions of humans was the solar panel, this panels allows to use the energy of the sun that arrives in radiation waves to earth. The first solar panel was invented in 1941 by Russell OH shortly after the invention of the transitory. In modern times, solar panels are used for generating electricity for different machines such as cars or houses. Many inventions involving solar panels and motors, form a solar circuit were the motor is powered by the solar energy. There are many invasions involving motors powered by solar panels, the two most common are a solar powered car and a solar powered boat. On the bad side of solar panels, they don’t generate as mush energy as a carbon energy plat and definitely not as much as a nuclear, but still solar panels is a great way to make green ecologic energy.

Research

why

Solar energy can reduce the price the electric bill and reduce our time used in making chores and can have an impact on our Daly life. We have came to belief that by using solar energy we can be faster, or we can reduce our taxes.

Hypothesis

If the clothing is in constant moving it will all dry faster, all the clothing will be moving at the same speed. The water in the clothes will fall, or move to one point of the cloth.

Variables

Variables: Independent Variable: Adding two solar powered

motors

Dependent

Variable:

Drying rate

of

clothes

Control

Variables: Same place, same amount of sun light, same type of rope (

clothes

rope), same amount of clothes,

How it work

Two motors one in a pole rotating in the same direction powered by solar energy. A line connects the two motors, the motors makes the line spin. Small lines are attached to the spinning line on one edge and a clothespin on the other. Two clothespins per cloth.

materials

16 solar panels

2 12 volts motors

2 2 meter telephone cable.

6 sticks of 1 meter height

2 2meter boards of wood

Liquid silicon

Large rope Nylon.

Two wooden pulleys

Procedure

Buy materials

Sold the panels in groups of eight 5 in series, which is positive with negative and 3 in parallel 5, which is positive with positive and negative with negative.

Cut the boards making three faces the same size of the motor. Cut them

Cut 2 faces of wood that matches the bottom faces.

Make a box with the wood faces.

On the top part of the box cut a hole of the size of the motor.

insert the motor in the hole.

Cut a wooden board the same size as the panels

Glue the panel boards to the box leaving the open faces inside or beneath the panel

Put the panels to the panel board

Glue the wooden pulleys to the motors axel

Glue three wooden sticks beneath each box

Insert the nylon rope into each of the pulleys extremes

Conclusion

When we went outside in the sunlight the motors didn't work. We assume that the motor didn’t had enough Amps for it too turn. Our panel connections produce 300 amps. We predict the motors need about 400-600 amps to turn

on.

By

using solar energy

we

can reduce

taxes over a certain period of time, and use a more economic and ecologic source of energy.
