I was looking for simple ways of connecting our solar fabric to the proposed solar sail.
Here is one idea to start with -
The holes will be prepared on the edges of the solar fabric at equal distances (we will need a tool for piercing both fabrics properly!).
Afterwards, the fixing can be done with a CABLE TIE which needs to be heavy-duty type and UV-stabilized like the samples shown below -
Advantages of using the cable-tie:
- quick & simple installation
- easy to dismantle & change either the solar fabric or the solar sail (when the need arises)
- less weight as compared to other fixing techniques such as metallic fasteners
- spares can be easily accessed from any market
What do you think about its durability? Can we find other better techniques?
