Solar Powered Cars Information
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011
HELP a struggling student on her science project !! Solar and wind powered cars ?
are there any sources that you know of that can give me information on solar, wind, and electric cars?
any articles that explain why the electric can is not now in circulation
any articles explaining by solar cars are not on the streets
it would really help me on my science project
thanks for your time!!!!!!!!!
as far as Solar Powered Cars, if you cover the entire surface of the average car with solar cells you can get enough electricity to run a 3 horse power motor for the few hours a day that the sun is high in the sky. as long as there are no trees,buildings or clouds in the way.
the cells can charge the battery’s while the car is parked though.
wind powered cars are just plain unfeasible, they cant be made to work.
the chevy volt that their working on is supposed to go 40 miles on the fully charged battery’s as long as you don’t need a heater, windshield wipers or a radio. after 40 miles its a normal gasoline engined car.
in cold weather it wont go that far because cold reduces battery efficiency.
keep in mind, electric cars that you plug into a socket to recharge, actually run on fossil fuel because most of our electricity is generated from natural gas & coal burning plants .
