BACKGROUND

Radio Controlled(R/C) Car is one of the best toy to have, many children want to have it. Not only children, but adult also have interest in this toy, as a hobby or only for fun. Radio Controlled(R/C) Car usually use for only a toy, but beside that, there are many people use it as a hoby.

The problem formulations of this study are :

What’s the plus and minus of each battery type ?

What’s the best battery type for the Radio Controlled(R/C) Car ?

The Objectives of the study are :

To know the plus and minus of each battery type

To know what’s the best battery type for the Radiuo Controlled(R/C) Car

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

PROBLEM FORMULATIONS

The Objectives of the study are :

To know the plus and minus of each battery type

To know what’s the best battery type for the Radio Controlled(R/C) Car

The Significance of the study are :

The reader of this simple research can be as the advisor and to support the curiosity of the battery that it can make us to save more money from the battery costs.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

ALKALINE BATTERY

BATTERY

MERCURY BATTERY

An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more ElectroChemical Cells that convert stored Chemical Energy into electrical energy. Each battery consists of a negative electrode material, a positive electrode material, an electrolyte that allows ions to move between the electrodes, and terminals that allow current to flow out of the battery to perform work.

REMOTE CONTROL

WIRED CONTROL

WIRELESS CONTROL

LIGHT CONTROL

Remote control is the kind of controllingsomething by wired or wireless controller.

TECHNIQUES OF OBSERVING THE DATA

TECHNIQUE FOR ANALYZING THE DATA

Radio Controlled(R/C) Car : is a self-powered model car that can be controlled from a distance using a specialized transmitter.

Battery : is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy.

Stopwatch : is a device that used to count the time.

Controlled Variables :

- The Track Length

- Radio Controlled(R/C) Car

- Stopwatch

Dependent Variable :

- Radio Controlled(R/C) Car Speed

Independent Variable :

- Different Battery Types

MATERIALS-Radio Controlled(R/C) Car- Stopwatch-Different Battery Types

PROCEDURE

1. Prepare the Radio Controlled(R/C) Car, Different battery types, and Stopwatch.

2. Run the Radio Controlled(R/C) Car on the track.

3. Count the time it takes to finish the track.

4. Calculate the speed of each battery type.

5. Do the same procedure on each battery type.

Data will be observed on each battery types and will be writen in a table shown below.

No. Battery Type Track Length (s)

Time to Finish The Track (t)

Speed (v = s/t)

1. Alkaline

2. Energizer

3. ABC

No. Battery Type Track Length (s)

Time to Finish The Track (t)

Speed (v = s/t)

1. Alkaline 10 m 3,85 s 2,60 m/s

2. Energizer 10 m 4,23 s 2,36 m/s

3. ABC 10 m 4,34 s 2,30 m/s

The speed differences caused by the different quality and energy component of each battery affected the dynamo performance that causes different speed.

As the example Alkaline battery use the reaction

between zinc and manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO2) and Mercury battery use the reaction between Mercuric Oxide and Zinc Electrodes in an Alkaline Electrolyte, these different battery components that makes the speed differences between Alkaline and Mercury battery.

Conclussions :

Between different battery types that tested on the research, the Alkaline type is the most type that affect the result that makes the Radio Controlled(R?C) Car speed faster between the other types.

Alkaline battery is the most expensive and ABC is the cheapest in price, that means the price of the battery affected the quality of the battery that will affect the Radio Controlled(R/C) car speed.

Suggestions :The suggestions for the readers from this research are

The readers can use the Alkaline battery for the Radio Controlled(R/C) Car for the best speed.

Author also expect the reader of this to develop this research to higher level such as measure the battery durably while in use, the battery quality, and the battery hot level with more battery types include.
