Transparent Paddle Boards

January 12, 2015

...progress on the transparent paddle board. Note the scale, the production board will be over 10 feet long. The large solar panel on this new version can generate approximately 6 volts. Enough power to light some LED strings and a small motor. Because this project holds many similarities with those used for aircraft wing manufacture, it should be possible to scale to a 3d printed airplane with a 160" wingspan in the near future. Any RC enthusiasts?
