Solar Panel Charging Fan

This project shows the energy transfer from the solar panel converting light into energy which alternately charges the batteries when the switch is turned on, This then turns the motor on, operating the fan.

This project is mainly designed for the user who often spends much time outside where there aren’t able to charge, solar panels can power on the fan.

So far the project is going pretty good as I have finished soldering the solar panel to the switch and to the batteries, this then connects to the diode and lastly to the circuit board, this also applies to the switch that operates the fan.

The solar panel is then wired and connected to a switch that turns the charging on/off

while the other switch turns the motor of the fan on/off

Two 8w batteries are used in this project for the fan to operate

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the overall view of the project which i later designed a case/protection around it to make it actually usable for the user.

This project is not simply easy/convenient for the user to use, however; it is also really also environmental friendly as it uses solar panels, the fan is also pretty durable if you don’t break it intentionally and it is also considered quite safe for the user despite that I spins quite fast however its made out of plastic. However, it might still be hazardous to children who are under five.

the overall product although has a moderate function and is should be able to satisfy the needs of the user however the appearance is one of the flaws as well as the fact that it is quite massive to be carried around. Therefore this should be something that i will have to amend and improve on..
