A Brief History of Solar Cars

solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, The top of the table on two wheels is still not a familiar sight on the roads in all parts of the world. But if you ever catch one, do not doubt that it must be solar-powered car. And models mostly took the form of flat solar collectors on four wheels with the driver, just managing to squeeze the same as in anything in which the pilot, the interest in solar energy cars grew in the fertile minds that are running the gates of our universities. Enthusiasm is fantastic against 'environmental risk' and belching carbon we commonly call the development of cars and rushed her cousin solar.
solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, Car owes its existence to solar photovoltaic cell. A small piece of silicon that carries energy from the sun to the batteries. The cell optical appearance in the United States in 1954. Pioneering work allowed young Darryl, Calvin Fuller and Gerald Pearson at Bell Labs for us to take advantage of the sun's energy for the first time. Forward on development.

In the early years of the cars, and racing was to develop a vehicle laboratories, where they often took place. Thus was the case with solar energy vehicles along its short history. Was opened by Hans Tholstrup and Larry Perkins in solar car race when they went on an epic journey of the solar energy from Perth to Sydney (Australia) in 1983. Car-like in practice 16 foot open boat. But not 4052 miles in 20 days, an average speed of 23 km / hour. This was the first car in the world, solar-powered car. And the exploitation of her name fit - 'Pacific successful. Abundance and helped the Danish adventurer. Solar car races quickly began capturing eyeballs, and helped to deploy solar energy as an alternative.
solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, The success of the first adventure across the Australian outback Hans Tholstrup to start the challenge of the World Solar in 1987. Jumped more than the first effort showed in 1987 when he won the Sunraycer GM event with an average speed of 67 km / hour. Today, this event is the camp twice a year, as well as a measure of developments in the field of solar cars. For example, 2005 has seen touching the car at speeds exceeding 100 km / hour. This leads to the organization of some major changes related to safety.
solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, Began to challenge the global solar energy and the other will soon follow. North American Solar Challenge brings to the University of the top teams pitting their brains as well as many of their skills against each other. Ran one this year from Dallas, Texas to Calgary, Alberta. GM was the follow-up success in the global challenge of solar energy before the start of this version of America / Canada. This was an attempt to promote an inspiring engineering of cars and solar energy among university students. May not be stormed heaven popular Formula One, but with the races in various parts of the world - Circuit Suzuki (Japan), and assembly of the World Solar (in Taiwan), Phaethon (Greece) and others, can expect an enthusiastic work of the ignition.
solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, Entered today, solar energy vehicles in the area of ​​Popular Mechanics. Practical applications of the road looking to use solar energy in hybrid configurations. And France are expected Spray AstroLab and a car in the world's first solar electric hybrid. With a top speed of 120 km / h and continuous operation of 110 km, and we might see it just kerbing up in our neighborhood. Participated in the 2008 Paris Auto Spray there is a line of electric vehicles.
solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, There are taxi solar or 'Solartx' to you. Example of the vision of Switzerland, and the car attempts to be a pioneer in the field of information about cars, and can be relied upon every day. The support of the Group 6 square meters of solar size, the car goes 400 miles without recharging. It includes a trailer and hovering around in the maximum speed of 90 km / hour.
solar energy,  Solar Cars, Solartx,. global solar energy, Toyota is seeking to add solar panels on the Prius. An innovative, optional attachments can deliver 300 watts of power, and also serve as sunshades. Might see a 2009 release.
'History of the solar car' is almost an anachronism because it seems contemporary to some extent. But with the evolution of technology and shapes with the passage of time, we might be looking at cars like the Prius and artifacts. Let us hope that the solar car to find a place for them in a

Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell Concept

Mercedes SLS AMG E-Cell ConceptMercedes SLS AMG E-Cell ConceptMercedes SLS AMG E-Cell Concept
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell, the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz is launching a totally innovative drive solution for super sports cars and as such is among the pioneers in this market segment.The ground-breaking drive system of the technology vehicle boasts some outstanding features: powerful traction is provided by four synchronous electric motors with a combined peak output of 392 kW and a maximum torque of 880 Nm. The four compact electric motors each achieve a maximum rpm of 12,000/rpm and are positioned near to the wheels. As a result, compared with wheel-hub motors the unsprung masses are substantially reduced. One transmission per axle transmits the power.

Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 4 seconds. When it comes to dynamics, the electrically-powered SLS AMG makes a statement: the gullwing model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4 seconds - which almost puts it on the same high level as the Mercedes SLS AMG with 6.3-litre V8 engine developing 420 kW (571 hp), which can accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Further exciting touches are provided courtesy of the agile accelerator response and the straight-line performance: unlike the combustion engine, torque build-up with an electric motor is instantaneous - maximum torque is available virtually from a standstill. The spontaneous torque build-up and confident power delivery - which does not suffer from any interruption of tractive power - are combined with engine running characteristics which are totally free of vibration.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell drive incorporates a liquid-cooled high-voltage lithium-ion battery featuring a modular design with an energy content of 48 kWh and a capacity of 40 Ah. The maximum electric load potential of the battery, which consists of 324 lithium-ion polymer cells, is 480 kW, which is an absolute best value in the automotive sector. Another technical feature of this considerable performance is the intelligent parallel circuit of the individual battery modules - this also helps to maximise the safety, reliability and service life of the battery. The 400-volt battery is charged by means of targeted recuperation during braking whilst the car is being driven.

Renault DeZir Concept

Renault DeZir ConceptRenault DeZir ConceptRenault DeZir ConceptRenault DeZir Concept
The Renault DeZir project is the first to have been led by Laurens van den Acker and marks the start of a sequence of concept cars that will provide an insight into Renault Design's new vision for the future. It also lays the foundations for the styling cues of Renault's forthcoming vehicles.



AN ELECTRIC BEAUTY

Renault DeZir is powered by an electric motor mounted in a mid-rear position to optimize weight distribution over the front and rear wheels. The vertically-mounted 24kW/h lithium-ion battery is located behind the benchseat and provides the car with a range of 160km. Battery cooling is ensured not only by the air channelled from the front to the back of the car, but also - and above all - by the flow of air that enters through the lateral scoops concealed behind the aluminium panels on either side of the body. The basic motor is the same as the unit used for Renault's production electric cars, although an evolution has enabled its power and torque to be uprated to 110kW (150ch) and 226Nm respectively.

Three battery-charging methods can be employed:

    * a standard charge using a conventional household plug (fully charges the battery in eight hours).

    * a fast charge using a 400V three-phase current (charges the battery to 80 per cent of its capacity in 20 minutes).

    * a fast battery exchange thanks to Renault's Quick Drop technology.

Mercedes SLS AMG

Mercedes SLS AMG


The styling of the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is not only very special because of the exclusive gullwing doors.The E-SELECT shift lever, whose styling recalls the thrust control of a jet, controls the AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission. All the controls are made out of solid metal, with a high-sheen Silver Shadow surface.At the design stage great attention was paid to the widest possible opening angle - it is a full 70 degrees. Equally importantly, the distance between the open doors and the road surface is a generous 1.50 metres, while the entry aperture between the open doors and the upper edge of the door sills measures no less than 1.08 metres. The entrance height, i.e. the distance between the road surface and the upper edge of the door sills is a very low 45 centimetres.The feeling of comfortable spaciousness is in large measure due to the generous shoulder-room of 1483 millimetres and elbow room of no less than 1606 millimetres. The luggage compartment can hold up to 176 litres. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is also breaking the mould when it comes to the body concept: for the first time, Mercedes-Benz and AMG are presenting a car with an aluminium chassis and body. Compared with the traditional steel design, this results in a significant weight saving, clearly illustrated in the DIN kerb weight of 1620 kilograms.45 percent of the intelligent, weight-optimised aluminium spaceframe is made out of aluminium sections, 31 percent out of aluminium sheet, 20 percent out of aluminium cast and 4 percent out of steel. Maximum occupant safety requires the use of ultra-high-strength, heat-formed steel in the A-pillars. The bodyshell weighs 241 kilograms - an absolute benchmark in the super sports car segment when compared with the peak output of 420 kW/571 hp.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG consumes 13.2 litres per 100 kilometres (combined, provisional figure), earning it a place at the top of the competitor rankings. Efficiency-enhancing measures include the familiar AMG-exclusive, friction-optimised twin-wire-arc-sprayed coating on the cylinder walls as well as the on-demand, map-optimised oil supply and intelligent generator management: during the engine's overrun phases and braking, kinetic energy is used to charge the battery, rather than being wasted by simply generating heat.

Chrysler ecoVoyager

Chrysler ecoVoyager
The Chrysler ecoVoyager is a beautiful car.The ecology-minded zero emissions ecoVoyager uses a 45 kw fuel cell stack and 268 hp (200 kw) electric motor plus "Range-extended Electric Vehicle technology" to deliver the vehicle 300 miles before refueling. According to Chrysler, the ecoVoyager is able to travel the first 40 miles on the 16 kw lithium-ion battery pack alone before needing an assist from the fuel cell stack and 10,000 psi hydrogen tanks.The Chrysler ecoVoyager is no wuss, either as it can motivate from 0 - 60 mph less than 8 seconds with a top speed of 115 mph. Chrysler is also boasting that the ecoVoyager can run the quarter mile in just 12.9 seconds, but seeing is believing on this statistic, so we'll just have to wait and see if the automaker can put its money where its mouth is at.

Baja 1000 Buggy Concept Car

Baja 1000 Buggy Concept Car


Baja 1000 Buggy will come with an eco-friendly electric engine, solar chargers and of course some weird looks too. The car comes with a primary hydrogen fuel cell power source, which gets complemented by a battery charged by solar cells that are infused in the body of the car. The solar cells provide continuous energy, while the racer concentrates on the track. The use of hydrogen fuel cells mean that the only thing coming out of the exhaust would be clean water that would be recycled to help hydrate the driver during the grueling race. Baja 1000 Buggy features airless tires that are infused with LED lights to warn spectators during a nighttime race event. Baja 1000 Buggy features unique wheel design. The tires are like the blades of a saw, which we think would make the ride bumpy.
