Solar Mesh Panels
SCIENCE LAB PLEASE HELP!!!!:: need to boost performance of small solar-powered car racing under lights?

For our final science project, our teacher gave us a wooden body with axels going through it, four plastic wheels, a solar panel, and a DC motor with a gear on the end that will mesh with one of the wheels to make the car move. Is there any way to boost the performance of a small, solar-powered, wooden car like this one? We can’t attach a battery, but we can explore alternate energy sources, especially ones involving magnetism and/or sustainable energy. The person who wins the race gets an A+, and I really need the grade!!!! Can anybody help? Changing the gear ratio is one idea I came up with, but I’m having a hard time finding a gear that fits. Any thoughts? Thanks … Julie
P.S. :: The car will be racing on a slick tile surface under a set of constant lights. The setting will be controlled.

My advice is to look into building your own fuel cell to boost your cars performance. These could definitely add a little more needed power to your car. Research it a little. Some require very little to get some extra power out of things.

Or you could always try and increase the solar cell’s power output by adding a magnifying glass or two (a big magnifying sheet mounted a few inches above it might give you an extra little boost.)
