High-Level Project Summary
I have developed an idea of using rover powered by wind turbines on Venus as a source of energy storage system that will power a surface lander or rover on the surface of Venus for more then 60 days, so that there is a viable energy storage capability for long-duration exploration missions. A phenomenon called super-rotation produces perpetual winds on Venus hence windmills are best solution for energy related crisis. On Venus, I would immediately say that anchoring anything to the ground is a no-go so the wind turbines will be built on heavy wheeled machinery

Detailed Project Description
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
The primary reason to consider such an option is that it would provide an energy source independent from sunlight, generating energy continuously including at night and under dense cloud cover.
other then the benefit of day and night energy production wheeled turbines also eliminate the trouble of anchoring the Venus ground and can also move if needed
the reason that we are invading Venus and searching and developing ways of energy production on Venus as it hides a wealth of information that could help us better understand Earth and exoplanets. NASA's JPL is designing mission concepts to survive the planet's extreme temperatures and atmospheric pressure
I have used Canva.com for my presentation
Space Agency Data
I have used data form NASA space agency
many scientific data about Venus was used from NASA .
Hackathon Journey
Space app experience was over all good but if I talk about it personally the NASA space team came to our collage to inform us about this activity just 4 days before submission date hence I wasn't able to produce something much more quality and this is what I could do in just 4 days
I was inspired to choose this project because I have a lot of interest in how life on other planets will survive and when humans will be able to colonize other planets
My approach was to built an idea of how long term energy can be produced on Venus for day and night
The set backs of difficult to anchor land of Venus due t high temperature was resolved by adding wheels to windmills
