ok, here's the bit, Im a high school student working on a solar car project. ive made a frame out of 1 1/4 inch pvc, and i have a fiberglass seat and a solar panel from bp rated at 75 wats EDIT ( 12 Volts)
im having the darndest time trying to find a motor and a possible way to gear this crazy thing to get it to move.
i have a reedy modified rc car motor, its got the right wattage i think, but heh its 6 volts i believe and i dunno if thats wise to try and hook that up to the solar panel
anyway, this project is real rough and well im really having trouble trying to find a solution to that power problem all solar cars have.
my budjet is probably 500 bucks right now (i think thats what the school will pay ) anyway, if you guys can help me at all that'd be great.
