ONGOING PROJECTS
Collapsible Solar Panel Array
Our solar array will be able to be moved around campus and double as a demo unit for our outreach program. We’re in search of people interested in constructing physical structures and designing intricate fittings to facilitate the movement of the array.
Stationary Bike Energy Station
Our energy station will be used by people who desire to exercise and work at the same time. The station will be outfitted with batteries that display their state of charge and other metrics, as well as a connection to an electrical system so that people can charge their phones and electric scooters. We’re in search of people interested in building and implementing power electronics, designing electronic displays, and building furniture.
GT Interactive Piezoelectric Sidewalk
The Energy Club is working with Georgia Tech to design a piezoelectric sidewalk installation to display on campus later this year. If you’re interested in participating on the team, an interest form is available here.
As a part of the team, tasks you may be involved in include:
- Design of the tile and its electronics, including circuit board design and integration with solar panels, batteries, the piezoelectric elements, etc.
- Programming of the tile’s electronics
- Fundraising for the project
- Engagement with campus administration such as GT Facilities
