Electrical Go-Kart Using PVC Pipes and Implementation of Solar Tracker

Balachandra Reddy K., Yash Kumar, Sheila Mahapatra, Manjulata Badi

Abstract


Based on a Go-kart powered by solar panels with sun-tracking panels, this paper examines the potential of this technology. In addition to the battery, the Go-kart relies on a solar panel as its primary source of power. During idle periods, the Go-battery kart's is charged by the solar panel, and when sufficient sunlight is available, it drives the Go-kart and powers the micro-controller that controls the solar panel's movement. People who are interested in racing sports, small businesses, malls, subways, and individuals with disabilities all use the Go Kart vehicle, which is devoid of suspension and differential. Our go kart is powered by an electric motor instead of an IC engine, which is what most go karts are normally powered by. In order to achieve a light weight and high-performance vehicle, the Electric Go Kart's detailed design calculations are carried out with the utmost care.
