High-Level Project Summary
We designed an energy capsule for the pressure and temperature conditions of venus, we used the Peltier principle to generate energy through a temperature gradient of 45 degrees celsius, with a design capable of withstanding winds of up to 240 km / h and rains of sulfuric acid, among other acids.

Detailed Project Description
the Peltier plate phenomena, the idea is
to make a series and parallel (mixed) array with Peltier plates
acting as batteries and powering the self-sustained device that
will explore the surface of Venus. Considering Figure 3, a system capable of generating a total voltage of 18 V at 4.8 A was designed. For this, an analysis was made for a better performance of the plates. Considering that each of the 400 W TEC1-12726 peltier plates, having a temperature difference between each one of the plates of 45◦ (∆T = 45◦ ) there will be in each of them an amount of 0.6 V to 0.7 A. This temperature difference will be given in the developed system, which will be explained with more detail below. First we placed 5 plates in series, these 5 plates will give us a total of 3 V at 0.7 A, which, in turn, will be placed in parallel with 4 equal arrays (of 5 plates in parallel).
This new system of 20 plates in total, will give us an amount of 3V at 2.4A. Once we have this new arrangement, we will
place 3 of these in series, giving us a total voltage of 9 V at 2.4 A. If we see, we have already filled with plates the design. However, for our design we consider 4 designs equal to this one. Considering that we will put 2 of them in series and 2 of them in parallel we will have a total of 18 V at 4.8 A.
Space Agency Data
since I was young I have been very interested in space exploration as Carl Sagan once said we are a small pale blue dot in space
Hackathon Journey
i HAVE A EXCELENT EXPERIENCE AND VERY SUCCESFULL LEARNING
