Abstract

This study aimed to found out if solar power can power a fan which can relieve heat from the head by the use of a cap. The energy solar power to chemical energy which is stored in the batteries to wind energy which is the fan to help relieve hotness in the body. The feasibility of a solar fan cap made from cap as a base, solar panels from calculators, and a CPU fan. The cap was cut in the front to place the fan and the solar panels were placed in the topmost portion of the cap.

Introduction

A solar fan cap can be built from a cap, solar panels and a CPU fan. The person will use the hat in the hot afternoon and turn on the fan for the person’s comfortasbility. The solar panels will charge the batteries and the batteries will power the fan. This project can be easily built by a normal person you just need some time and a good budget.
This solar power is an interesting study in the field of science. We have studied this for almost two months.

1. Solar Panels: These panels were used to capture light photons and transform it to electricity. 2. Energy Transmission: Solar Energy to Wind Energy 3. Renewable Energy: Solar Power

Objective

General Objective:

This study aims to find out if the sun is enough to power our daily needs and be efficient enough to power the fan which can relieve stress.

Scope and Limitations

This study was conducted for almost 2 months. Development of solar energy materials were continued in order to be more efficient in the future. It is limited to the availability of the sun rays and light photons.

This project is very simple for us students because new is in. So we like to invent new technology and design new type of products for uniqueness.

This cap can be repurpose from fan cap to charger which can charge our daily

    In 1971, a husband and wife, Aden and Marjorie Meinel, patented an idea to produce solar panels in the Mojave Desert. The solar panels they proposed were to stretch through the Mojave Desert for 5,000 miles and would collect 1,000,000 megawatts of electrical power. The electrical energy would then be stored in a manufacturing facility locally so that the solar energy could be converted and used by millions of people. The Meinel’s proposal was dismissed in the 1970’s, but recently, solar panel plants have begun to sprout in the Mojave Desert. There are currently fourteen pending solar projects that have been proposed to be built in the Mojave Desert. There are also currently already four solar plants built there.…

    However, the disadvantages of solar energy were neglected in the early phase of development. It isn’t always as reliable as other forms of power and tends to be expensive to install and maintain, because the devices rely on a steady supply of sunlight to generate power. The equipment is not that efficient, typically converting just 10% to 18% of the sun’s energy into electricity [3]. On top of the price of panels themselves, the cost of installing them varies greatly by location and climate. By most estimates, it takes at least six years for the initial costs to be repaid in saving from power generation under the best circumstances, and double that time under less ideal conditions [3]. Besides, the batteries and safety serve as potential problems. Since it is impossible to generate solar power 24 hours a day, batteries are needed for most systems to store excess power for use at night and rainy days. Unfortunately, these batteries can be expensive and have a shorter lifespan than solar…

    Despite what any individual’s concerns are regarding energy, it has been generally accepted that the finite source generating the majority of our electricity is depleting at alarming rates. We need to find alternative sources for energy production. The most obvious and abundant source available is the sun. Advances in technology have enabled us to harvest the solar radiation which has been conducting the cycle of life for millions of years. There are two main categories when it comes to solar power, passive and active. The passive solar systems integrate the sun’s energy to heat living spaces and/or water in a building. These system are very simple consisting few moving parts, require negligible maintenance and no mechanical components (Passive Solar Design). Passive…

    Solar energy is one of the most widely used energy resources throughout the world solar energy is the most promising renewable energy resources. It is widely available and easy for any one to use it is practical for individual use to power a single home or for a company facility such as bright sources solar facility in the Mojave Desert California. The facility can produce up to 377 megawatt. It uses three towers with mirrors surrounded by solar panels to reflect the light on to the solar panels to harness the suns energy. The benefits of solar much more out weigh the negatives solar can save billions of trillions of dollars for nations. The reliability of solar energy is great rising and setting of the sun is consistent while cloudy days are less predictable there are more than enough sunny days to power homes. “She…

    Most Americans own and use an air conditioning unit daily in their houses or apartments. People from all over the world depend on electricity to continue their everyday lives. Average Americans are extremely dependent on electricity for everyday activities or necessities like medical attention or transportation. Using a wind turbine to harvest the wasted energy from a typical industrial or urban air conditioning unit can help average families harness and store energy for a wide variety of activities. Our device is designed to harness the air currents generated by an air conditioning unit and the heat produced by the air conditioner’s coils to create power.…

    Today nearly half of the world’s energy is provided by petroleum. What began as a cheap and abundant way to provide energy, has become expensive, environmentally harmful, and finite. With population explosions and the demands of modern lifestyles, the world’s need for energy production has become far too much for fossil fuels to keep up with. Experts say that the Earth’s stores of petroleum will be depleted by 2050. The need to find a viable source of energy within this generation’s lifetime that can power cars and provide electricity to homes. Some of the alternative energy sources include: wind energy, nuclear energy, and solar energy. Of the three, only solar is capable of producing enough energy to power the world. Solar energy producers fall into two separate categories: thermal solar collectors and photovoltaic panels. Thermal solar energy collectors are “a source of hot water that can be used for heating or for making steam to generate electricity” (Nersesian 2007). They are the simpler of the two types and much more inexpensive. They have many practical applications such as pool warmers and water heaters. Photovoltaic panels convert solar energy directly into electricity. They are large and the technology is still fairly expensive. Solar energy is a viable option to replace fossil fuels because it is the most financially viable long term, is a renewable resource that will not harm the environment, and each system can operate independently.…

    Furthermore, renewable energy is a very niche market. It makes up only 8% of the total energy industry. SolarWorld’s practice, active solar technology, occupies just 1% of the total renewable energy due to its high cost and capital investment. This leaves a big hole for threat of substitutes such as coal, nuclear or natural gas energy, which are mostly the primary choice before renewable energy.…

    “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy,” stated Thomas Edison. Many people, including Thomas Edison, understood the value of solar energy. The use of solar energy has dated back to 700 B.C. Expenses for solar energy products are exceedingly high. Maintenance of solar powered utilities is virtually nonexistent. Solar products tend to be efficient in their work to make a clean planet. The function of a solar panel is to transform light into electricity. Solar panels can be used to power several different pieces of equipment. Solar energy can help reduce pollutants and create a healthy environment for everyone to live in.…
