Solar powered railcar Part VI

Testrun

Last night I made several test runs. After removing the useless diode (see part V) the car did had power enough to run its rounds. However the space between the front wheels (motorized axle) was a bit to wide causing the wheels to block in the curves. This was fixed by adjusting the distance between the wheels a bit.

First video: an early test run with flickering headlight (loose contact) and loosing one of the sliding doors! Sorry for the horrible sound...

 

Later that evening it finally runs well, especially considering the very moderate 1,5 volts power source! Again sorry for the sound...

 


Next (and final) step; windows and final detailing...
