Abstract
Our project is a power generation, storage, and distribution system that is going to be used to power the operation of a Radiello-Covering device that will be used for atmospheric data collection for WashU research. Our goal was to be able to leave the covering device in the field for extended periods of time without human interaction while it is capturing and storing important atmospheric data. We used both wind and solar power to charge Li-ion batteries through a PCB board to deliver the necessary power to the device. We also altered the data collection code to minimize power draw during data collection.
