How Do You Build A Solar-Powered Toy Car?
Solar power can be used for anything that requires electricity to run as long as solar panels are used. This is true for toy cars too. Solar-powered toy cars make a great experiment for teaching about solar energy. They’re also fun to build and play with. Make the Car Body Step 1 Cut the wood board slightly larger than the plastic bottle that you are using for the car body. This will act as the body platform. Foam board could be used here just as well but wood holds up better. Step 2 Cut two small sections of foam board to the same width as the body platform and about 2 inches in length. Glue these reinforcing blocks to the top and bottom edge of the body platform. Use a ruler to mark a dot on each of the reinforcing blocks that’s 1 inch from the front and the side. There’ll be four dots total. Step 3 Screw in a screw eye in each dot. Make sure the two eyes per axle are approximately the same height off the board. Step 4 Use the dowel rods as axle material. Measure the axle material so
