1 Introduction

1.1 Research Background

With the increasingly serious global environmental problems, green energy has become one of the hot topics of global energy research. Known as the most common and potential forms of green energy, solar and wind energy have been widely used in modern society.

Solar energy, as an inexhaustible energy source, has been widely used in photovoltaic power generation systems in homes and commercial buildings.converting sunlight into electricity through solar panels can not only reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels, but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce environmental pollution. Solar power systems can also store excess electricity for use at night or on cloudy days for sustainable energy use.

On the other hand, wind energy is also a very important form of renewable energy. Wind power generation is the process of converting wind energy into electric energy, which has become one of the main energy sources in many countries. Wind farms, which can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In areas rich in wind resources, wind power has become a very economical energy option [1].

Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study and develop a small car model driven by green energy by combining solar energy and wind energy. This will not only help to improve people's understanding and understanding of green energy, but also promote the further development and application of green energy technology.

1.2 Research Significance

Green energy refers to the energy resources that can effectively reduce the negative impact on the environment and have sustainable development potential. In the context of the increasingly serious global environmental problems, the development and utilization of green energy is particularly important. Solar energy and wind energy, as important representatives of green energy, have inexhaustible advantages, and will not produce carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, with very little impact on the environment. Therefore, by using solar and wind energy as energy to drive cars, it can not only reduce the dependence on traditional energy, reduce the generation of emissions, but also bring a positive impact on the environment.

The purpose of this study is to design and produce an experimental model of solar and wind powered car, and show the application potential of green energy in the field of transportation [2] through the actual operation of the model car. Through this experimental model, we can show the role and effect of solar energy and wind energy in driving vehicles, stimulate the public's awareness and concern about green energy, and promote the social transition to sustainable development.

Green energy car is not only a technical practice, but also a carrier of environmental awareness education, which is helpful to improve the social cognition and understanding of green energy, promote the promotion and application of green energy, and make positive contributions to environmental protection and sustainable development. It is hoped that this study can arouse more people's interest in green energy and work together to realize the vision of an environmentally friendly society.

2 Experimental Models Driven by Solar Energy

2.1 Principles and Application of Solar Energy

Solar energy as a clean and renewable energy, solar energy is widely used in various fields, including power generation, heating and lighting. Solar power is generated by converting sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are composed of multiple photovoltaic modules. When the sunlight shines on the photovoltaic modules, the combination force between the photons and the semiconductor causes the electrons to gain energy to generate an electric current. This process of making electricity is highly efficient and environmentally friendly.

In the design of the green energy car, solar panels are installed on the roof of the car to convert sunlight into electricity to drive the car's electric engine. When the sun is sufficient, the solar panels can provide enough power to support the car to continue driving. Solar panels can also be used to store excess electricity at night or in rainy weather.

The application of solar energy can not only provide a green and environmentally friendly power source for the car, but also reduce its operating cost and reduce the dependence on traditional energy. With the continuous development and improvement of solar energy technology, it is believed that solar energy will be more widely used in small cars, homes and industrial production in the future to bring more convenience and sustainability to our lives.

2.2 Design and Production of Solar Energy Car

In the process of design and production of solar car, a series of parameters and elements need to be considered to ensure the performance and efficiency of the car. We need to determine the size and conversion efficiency of the solar panels to ensure that we can make full use of solar resources. The energy storage capacity and output power of the battery also need to be accurately calculated to ensure that the car operates normally on sunny and cloudy days. The structural design of the car is also crucial, including body materials, wheel size and layout, and weight, stability and aerodynamics should be considered. The design of the drive system and the control circuit is also one of the key factors to determine the performance of the car. The suitable motor and controller should be selected according to the actual needs, so as to realize the automatic driving and remote control function of the car. The reasonable selection of the design parameters of the solar trolley will directly affect the operation performance and use effect of the trolley.

3 Experimental Models of Wind Energy Drive

3.1 Principles and Application of Wind Energy

Green energy car is an experimental model driven by solar energy and wind energy. In the model, both solar panels and wind turbines are used to convert natural energy into mechanical energy to drive small cars forward. Solar panels convert solar energy into electricity through photoelectric effects, while wind turbines use the kinetic energy of the wind to generate mechanical energy. The combination of the two energy conversion modes allows the green energy trolley to operate without any external energy input.

In the theme of "Principles and Applications of Wind Energy", we can use the following formulas to describe the conversion process of wind energy:

In the above formula, E_k represents kinetic energy, m represents the mass of an object, and v represents the speed of an object. This formula reveals the basic principle of converting wind energy into mechanical energy, that is, the kinetic energy of wind increases as the speed of an object increases, thus driving the trolley forward. Therefore, by making rational use of solar energy and wind energy, green energy trolleys can not only achieve environmentally friendly travel, but also help us better understand and apply natural energy.

3.2 Design and Production of Wind Energy Car

Figure 1: Design and production of wind energy car

In this experiment, we designed and made a [3], a green energy cart powered by solar and wind energy. By studying the principle of wind power generation, we designed a wind turbine to convert wind energy into electricity. Then, we store the electricity in the battery to continue to power the car [4] when there is no wind. In the following design, we chose lightweight materials to reduce the overall weight of the car and improve the energy efficiency. At the same time, we have added solar panels as another source of energy, allowing the car to get extra energy in full sunlight. By debugging the connection of the circuit and the mechanical components, we successfully combined the wind and solar energy organically, and realized the normal operation and steering of the car. Through this experiment, we verify the feasibility and advantages of using green energy powered cars in practical application, which provides useful enlightenment for future sustainable development.

4 Comprehensive Utilization of Energy Experiments

4.1 Design of The Trolley for The Comprehensive Utilization of Solar Energy and Wind Energy

When designing green energy cars powered by solar and wind energy, we first need to consider how to effectively combine the two energy sources. One way is to install solar panels on the roof of a car, using sunlight to directly generate electricity. At the same time, we can design wind power generation device on the side or back of the car, and use the airflow generated by the vehicle to rotate the turbine to generate power. In this way, the wind power can also provide continuous power for small cars when the light conditions are poor.

In order to better use the two energy sources, we can design an intelligent control system to automatically adjust the working status of solar panels and wind power generation devices [5] according to real-time light and wind speed conditions. When the light is sufficient, the system preferentially uses solar energy for charging, and at night or when the light is insufficient, the system automatically switches to wind power for car use.

In the mechanical design of the car, the overall lightweight and aerodynamic effect of the car should be taken into account to minimize the driving resistance. At the same time, the efficient electric drive system is selected to convert the two kinds of energy into electric energy and drive the car driving. In order to better show the characteristics of green energy, the characteristics of environmental protection and clean energy can be reflected in the appearance design of the car [6].

In general, the comprehensive utilization of solar energy and wind energy can not only provide sustainable power for small cars, but also reduce the dependence on traditional energy sources, and achieve the goals of environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction. Through continuous experiments and improvements, it is believed that such green energy cars will play an important role in the field of transportation in the future.

4.2 Experimental Results and Analysis

The experimental results show that the green energy car driven by solar energy and wind energy can operate stably under different environmental conditions. Under high light, the solar photovoltaic panels can effectively convert the solar energy into electricity to drive the car forward, and the wind power generator can also provide continuous power for the car. In the experiment, we also found that when both solar and wind power worked together, the car operated more efficiently and could drive more quickly.

The experimental results mean that the comprehensive utilization of green energy can improve the utilization efficiency of energy use, reduce the dependence on traditional energy, and reduce the carbon emissions of vehicles running, thus having less impact on the environment. This also provides a useful reference for the future development of green vehicles. However, it should be noted that the performance of the car in different environmental conditions in the experiment may be affected by many factors, such as weather, light intensity and wind speed, which will affect the performance of the car.

Overall, the experimental model of the green energy trolley shows an effective way to use both solar and wind energy, and provides new ideas for future sustainable transportation development [7]. It is hoped that through further research and improvement, green energy can be used to a wider range of vehicles to promote the realization of the goals of environmental protection and sustainable development.

5 Conclusions and Outlook

This will not only help to improve people's understanding and understanding of green energy, but also promote the further development and application of green energy technology. Green energy refers to the energy resource [8] that can effectively reduce the negative impact on the environment and has sustainable development potential. In the context of the increasingly serious global environmental problems, the development and utilization of green energy is particularly important. Solar energy and wind energy, as important representatives of green energy, have inexhaustible advantages, and will not produce carbon dioxide and other harmful gases, with very little impact on the environment. Therefore, by using solar and wind energy as energy to drive cars, it can not only reduce the dependence on traditional energy, reduce the generation of emissions, but also bring a positive impact on the environment.

It is hoped that this study can arouse more people's interest in green energy and work together to realize the vision of an environmentally friendly society [10].
