As a Personal Rapid Transport system, the Spartan Superway is powered on renewable resources, in particular a solar array. Our job as the Wayside Team is to bridge the connection between the power supply and the engine. Currently, we have successfully determined the methods in which we will be supplying power to the pod. In successfully powering the the pod, the intermediate system will be able to run as intended and be closer to completion.
In order to confirm that our fourth rail system will be able to supply energy without failure, the total power necessary must be determined to ensure that none of the components will encounter fusion. This requires the report of other teams so that all devices connected to the power source can be accounted for and taken into calculation to assure the strip can handle the load.
However, the current design has been tested to handle approximately 60 Amps at 120V without heating up excessively. If a higher rating is required due to other components, the design must be altered to compensate for the additional energy.
Any changes in power specifications must be reported as soon as possible to ensure the performance of the rail.
