Solar tractor

[creedo299]

A solar tractor, would have the mechanical weight of a tractor that one would do farm work with.

 

However be built around two large sheets of plywood, reinforced, that has a bank of solar cells placed upon it.

Dan,

 

Seeing how we are now in a new timeline...

Would you like me to run you through the energy sizing equations, step-by-step? I'd be happy to do so if you are really interested.Just wishing to help you in your stated quest,New/Improved RMT

The electrical systems for a tractor are, a large table level style of solar cells.This may or may not be placed on the tractor.

 

This delivery of power, from two four by eight solar cell cladded pieces of plywood, deliver power via an output tape, to a voltage regulator, with a possible switching relay.

 

The object of the game, is to get a large central flywheel, mounted on the tractor spinning.

 

So your solar cell bank, must be large enough, to deliver a portion of constant power, so this power can be one, actively contributed to power, which goes into a revolving motor.

 

A series of mixers and dividers, catch this power, as the elements of this set are, one constant by solar cell deliver of power, six to twelve volts, constant.2. A battery rack system, which will always store power, however be in the position, to always allot some series of power, to a spinning motor.

 

3.A series of voltage regulators, sensors and relays, which allow that power, to be metered judiciously, so any one portion of the system, does not become taxed.

 

I advocate mandatory strict regulation, of recycled oils.This is to the point, to where intentional dumping, warrants stiff fines.

Exactly. And instead of philosophizing about how you would design it, would you like to do some real, no-sheet analysis of how much power is required? For I think if you do, you will see there is a big disconnect between "power required" to move a tractor and "power available" from even a large solar bank.Even though we are in a new timeline, it still seems you are like the old Creedo who always avoided doing calculations. Calculcations tell a big story, and in this case they are pretty much the whole story. I'd advise against proposing any design solution until you do these calculations, because the chances of that design solution being unworkable are very high indeed.New/Improved RMT

Sorry to revive an old post which deserves to be buried, but speaking as one who has driven tractors, Mr. Creedo, have you seen the green and yellow monsters that are being used for agriculture today? Just the wheels (6) alone, filled with fluid for better traction, weigh more than the average economy auto.We're talking about serious diesel power. Besides, if you were plowing a field and it started to rain, the sun would be obscured and you would have to walk from the back forty in the rain. Then you would be all wet.
