Solar Boat Model – Renewable Energy STEM Kit
The Solar Boat Model by Elmo Agencies, a trusted scientific manufacturer in Ambala, is a hands-on educational STEM kit designed to demonstrate how solar energy can be converted into electrical and mechanical energy. The working model helps students understand renewable energy, solar power, electric motors, and propulsion through a practical water-based experiment.
The Solar Boat Model uses a solar panel to convert sunlight into electrical energy. The electricity powers a 3V DC motor, which rotates a propeller through the connected shaft mechanism. As the propeller rotates, it pushes water backwards, producing thrust that moves the boat forward.
This demonstrates a simple energy conversion process:
Sunlight → Electrical Energy → Mechanical Energy → Motion
