Solar boat
Product Code : SCL-MLI-12536
The Solar boat (SKU SCL-MLI-12536) is a working model that shows sunlight being converted into electrical energy and then into mechanical motion. When enough light reaches the 3 V 200 mA solar panel, it runs a 3 V DC motor that turns a shaft-mounted propeller and pushes the boat through water. The lightweight hull is 8 mm EVA foam for buoyancy, and crocodile clips connect the motor to the panel. No battery is needed under adequate light. JaincoLab makes this solar boat model for STEM lessons and science exhibitions.
Specifications
The boat has an 8 mm EVA foam hull, a 3 V 200 mA solar panel, a 3 V DC motor, a shaft and connector to the propeller and crocodile-clip connections.

Solar energy lessons with the solar boat
The solar boat shows a full energy chain on water: light becomes electricity in the panel, electricity becomes rotation in the motor, and the propeller turns rotation into thrust.
- Conversion of light energy into electrical and mechanical energy
- Effect of light intensity on motor speed
- Buoyancy of the EVA foam hull
- Renewable energy projects and science exhibitions
