Power from Stray Light

Guided By:Padmapriya.Patil By:Swetha.G Prateeksha.M Laxmi.I.M Nanda

Introduction
In third world countries and countries that have a strain on power, will loose power or have no power. Our goal is to collect light from a light source and store it until that power was needed.

Solar source (Goal)

Best energy efficiency from the light bulb
Curved solar cell drew more current comparing to when it was flat

Adjust the distance from the light bulb to avoid damage on the solar cells Try to design same panel to be used indoors and outdoors

Solar source (Outcome)

Solar source (Main Idea)

Power supplied by either the light bulb or the direct sunlight Supplies 7.45 Vdc with 68.6 mA under the light bulb and 91.7 mA under the sun

Solar source (Connections)

Two solar cells in a series connection Every two sets in a parallel connection

Power Selector (Main Idea)

Supplies power selecting dc signal to LED lighting Built-in input protector from 120Vac User friendly phone jacks and plugs for all connection to other component

Power Selector (Main Idea)

Supplies power selecting dc signal to LED lighting Built-in input protector from 120Vac User friendly phone jacks and plugs for all connection to other component

LED Lighting (Main Idea)

Turns on or off emergency LED lighting according to control signal from power selector Maximum lighting time of 10 hours User friendly phone plug to power selector

The user of this product expects the following benefits:

Ability to use lighting during blackouts or emergency Have extra time to prepare for the blackout Have light during night time Lower CO2 emissions, being eco friendly The ability to have power where there was none before

Future Hardware Development

Multiple battery packs of different sizes Improved Solar cells for higher efficiency and more flexible shape Improved battery life for longer lasting emergency lighting system Improved Solar source design for user friendly and higher efficiency
Easier close and opening the panels Solar cells to be flatted when opened, and curved when closed
