Calculation

P = V i

Vc = [1 - e^{(-t/RC)}]

Q = C x V

time constant = R C

Problems Encounter & Solutions

! Problem Wires Too Easily Come Off from the Current-extractingPlate of The Solar Panel After being Soldered.

Solution I used Dunlops Shoe Glue to protect the

area.

! Problem

Cant Find Good Wheels and Conductor for the Feelers.

Solution I get wheels from my spoiled RC car andfrom Guitar String for feelers conductor
