Battery cells have arrived
Three weeks ago, we have placed an order for INR21700-P45B 4500mAh battery cells from Molicell at Nkon. These cells arrived in good condition and are now being prepared for the first test setup. The purpose of this test setup is to measure the capacity of the cells. After the capacity has been measured, we will Read more…
Design of battery
To be able to participate in the open class we must design and manufacture a new battery. The battery will consist out of multiple cells. We will use the battery cells from Molicell, we have chosen the INR21700-P45B 4500mAh cells for the design. These cells are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including Read more…
The first designs of hydrofoils
Hydrofoils are a great way to increase the efficiency of a solar boat. By lifting the boat out of the water, the foils reduce the drag on the hull, allowing the boat to move faster with less effort. Active hydrofoils, which can be adjusted during different races, can provide even greater benefits by allowing the Read more…
