Robust stability providing repeatable functionality
What we did
Designed self sufficient tow equipment including solar collectors smart controlled and able to map the sun. Mechanism allows fully controlled deployment from 0 to 87 degrees via linear actuators.
Design Implementation
Anemometer transmits data ensuring retraction at 10 seconds of steady state >= 25 mph of wind; deployment allowed after 10 minutes <25 mph verified via Regional ASHRAE studies supported the determination that 25 mph would rarely be reached. External mechanism were designed while utilizing the drag coefficient and FEA ensuring that 25 mph wind will not damage the unit.
