Dc motor + battery + solar panel

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around designing a solar-assisted driving mechanism for a bicycle, specifically focusing on the compatible battery specifications for a 24V 1HP DC motor and the necessary solar panel specifications to charge that battery. The scope includes project-based exploration rather than formal homework.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks guidance on battery and solar panel specifications to power a 24V 1HP DC motor for a bicycle project.
  • Another participant questions the context of the inquiry, suggesting it may relate to schoolwork.
  • A participant clarifies that the project is not formal homework but a personal endeavor to create a motor system that assists in pedaling.
  • There is a suggestion for the original poster to provide details on their research and calculations regarding the solar panel size and charging time required for the battery.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specifics of the project requirements, and the discussion remains open with various perspectives on the nature of the inquiry.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific calculations or resources related to electric motors, motorized bicycles, batteries, or solar recharging systems, which may limit the depth of the discussion.

i would like to design a solar assisted driving mechanism for my bicycle?
What is the compatible battery specifications to power 24v 1hp dc motor and the necessary solar panel specification to charge the battery? I'm kinda clueless in this so any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the PF.

Sounds like schoolwork. What is the context of the question?
 
it is not exactly homework but more of a project for me to do... it is really subjective but I'm trying to design a working motor system to assist the pedaling of a bicycle

Since it is schoolwork, I will move this thread to the Homework Help forums. You are also required to do the bulk of the work, so please show us what you have done so far. What resources have you been reading about electric motors, motorized bicycles, batteries and solar recharging systems? Have you done some calculations that show how big a panel and how long in the sunshine your system would have to sit in order to recharge the battery? I think you will find that it will take several days in the sunshine to let you ride for an hour or two...
