The Kyber Project

Empowering Venus from within.

High Level Project Summary - Energy generation and storage is a major obstacle due to the surface temp. of 465°C and rapid wind speeds(360 kph). Our project combines the use of helium-powered polymeric balloons(PB) and a surface rover to generate power and explore Venus. The PB hover at 60 km above the atmosphere for safe and efficient power generation. The PB descends from 60 to 20km to transmit energy via laser beam transmission which is received by the rover's laser power converters(LPC). This converts laser beams to electricity which will be used by the battery inside. Tesseract tech(energy shield) shields the battery from external damage. The cycle repeats as the PB re-ascends using electric propulsion.

Low Level Project Summary: How project kyber works is that we have 2 probes working on Venus Simultaniously. The first probe is the Rover whilst the second probe is a floating polymeric baloon. The Rover will be operational on the surface of venus while the polymeric baloon will be floating at 60 KM above the surface of venus. The energy for the enitre mission will be created aboard the polymeric baloon. However when the rover runs out of charge the polymeric baloon will float down 40KM and will fly at 20KM above the surface of venus. While floating at this altitude the polymeric baloon charges the battery aboard the rover through infrared radiation i.e Laser power beaming technology. More information on these procces could be found in the detailed sections below.
