Team: A step towards Venus
We have chosen the project of the energy storage system on Venus
Venus is one of the hottest planets in the solar system.
Due to the thickness of Venus' atmosphere, one of the biggest challenges and problems we face in trying to explore the planet is that the batteries astronauts take with them do not last more than two hours, so in our project, we resorted to reducing the use of batteries as much as possible.
Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage and Release System (MOST)
• Sunlight is collected and stored as chemical bonds in liquid molecules via a photochemical reaction • The liquid is then stored in a well-protected and insulated container • When energy is needed the catalyst breaks down chemical bonds in the liquid molecules to extract energy and is in the form of thermal energy
Then the conversion from thermal energy to electrical energy is done using a transformer (MMRTG).
(MMRTG) transformer: • In addition to its role in converting energy from thermal to electrical we will use it to protect the energy generation and storage system from high temperature and we have made some developments on the transformer, The converter usually uses PLUTONIUM as its fuel, but we replaced it with MOST.
How will we protect the regime?
We will place all the systems (MOST + MMTRG) inside a glass dome filled with nitrogen gas
Some sheets can also be placed for reinforcement
The system can store energy for 6 – 18 years
The efficiency of the system as a whole is 16%-18% (there is potential for development)
Can store power up to 1MJ/Kg
Average vehicle power consumption 120 watt
MOST system weight is about 4kg (estimated)
Adapter length 66cm length and 64 diagonal
