High-Level Project Summary
We have developed two energy supply systems for Venus exploration, the first system will support the operation of a balloon apparatus for 60 days, and the second system will provide operation of a ground apparatus for 60 days or more. The balloon vehicle will be powered by a radio isotope thermionic generator and windmills attached to the body, as well as solar panels on the surface of the balloon, given that starting from a height of 50 km comfortable conditions, the device will be able to function stably, while the ground vehicle will use a piezoelectric generator and bladeless wind generators from Vortex. In both cases, the batteries are selected for specific conditions.

Detailed Project Description
Among the advantages of our project is simplicity and reliability, especially in the case of a ground vehicle, since piezoelectric elements paired with bladeless wind turbines from the Vortex startup company are a very reliable option, and sodium chloride batteries will use the huge temperatures of Venus as a plus.
Space Agency Data
We used information about the conservation of energy in the conditions of Venus. As well as information about the features of the aggressive conditions of Venus.
Hackathon Journey
We learned quite a lot of details about the characteristics of the atmosphere of Venus, especially about its layering, we were inspired by the study of the possibilities of researching Venus, especially after viewing NASA reports.
