High-Level Project Summary
Magnitis exoasia is a power source that was inspired by diseal engines. instead of using feul and oxygen to create a minor explosion to move the piston our project uses the repulsive nature of like poles to create the push force it needs. It will provide suistainable energy for over 5 life times and even more depending on the enviroment it is in. what makes our project special is it uses advanced technologies like Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems from our power satellite which is powered by Magnitis exoasia which will transmit the electricity to the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) or charging stations for our rover to charge from.

Detailed Project Description
The power source
The power source we use for our project was inspired by diesel engines. it uses the repulsive force of like pole magnets instead the usual fossil fuel and oxygen to create a mini explosion to move the piston inorder to create a torque which later would be converted to electrical enegy using a generator.
. Diesel engine
The picture below will show u the different placment(Position)of the piston and why it was put that way
These are the 3 phases it went through for us to create a continoue loop.
once we create the loop we will end with a power source that will last for over 500 years and depending on the enviroment its in we could increase its life span by 200+ years.
Based on our previous prototypes our power source will rougly weigh 3-5 kilo grams and takes up around 50cm length, 30 cm width and a height of 20 cm. The power source would be enough to fully power the satellite and still send eletrcity wirelessly using laser beams and microwave signals to the receptor dishes down to the Ground station.
Wireless Power Transfer
wireless power transfer(Wpt) systems allow power to be transfered from one electrical network to another without any need for wires or exposed contacts. we intend to use satellites like block IIA and IIR that have transmitting power about 50-60W of eletrical power. The Hughes Space and Communications HS702 satellite is capable of emitting a 15kW signal, making it the most powerful commercial communications satellite in the world. This technology is still taking its baby steps with a bright future a head which was one of the reason we used it for our project.
The Ground Station
It is the most impartant Part of our project it contains charging stations, the rover as well as dishes to recive the rays and laser beams from the power satelite that is orbiting the planet . The charge station is stationary to the landing site in which the rover can come whenever it needs to recharge since 1 venus day is 116 earth days we could use the charging station for a long period. After converting the recived rays from the power satellite to eletricity it will store some power in cells built in the electric vehicle supply equipment for times of any malfunction. but in most cases it will just charge the rover directly with out any use of the stored power.
THANK YOU
Space Agency Data
.We have searched on energy sources of space satellites, mainly on the NASA open data sources. We used these resources to filter out drawbacks of using solar panels and how using "Magnitis Exousia" can solve it. These findings inspired us because any invention is created to solve a problem, and so is ours. We got all the information we needed from the link below

Hackathon Journey
Our space apps experience was, shortly put, incredible. One of the main reasons is the inspiration behind our project. We have designed a project that solves a problem we're passionate about. As we all know, climate change is one of, if not the most, serious threat our planet is facing. And one of the contributors to pollution, which means climate change, is burning of fossil fuels. And our project, magnÃtis exousia, eliminates the need to use them. This in turn decreases pollution and climate change.
Using the knowledge we have gained through our physics lessons and adding much more to it through research, we've built magnÃtis exousia. In this process, we've had setbacks such as times when calculations didn't add up or we couldn't meet our deadlines because we were swamped with school work. But through all this, we persevered and supported eachother to finally finish our project. We would like to thank space apps for this amazing opportunity and to our friends who helped us in even the smallest details.
