What about a Thailand dragster ?
A challenge for electgric conversion with solar cells...
Ok, flexible solar cells are lightweight. It's much better than try rigid silicon cells that require a heavy glass to protect agains impacts like from ice rain.
This solar airplane used the cells as part of structure to ave weigh, like the cells was filling holes of a rigid net structure.
The most efficient "car" (vehicle), would be Ecorunner VI, with less than 0,005 drag and smalll size and lightweight, but just for a a single person, in liying position.
When automate computer driving became reality, and got much safer than today, this vehicle could be used to transport kids to school. It would require JGS and chip for track the vehicle and the kid, just as extra security standarts.

The electric part will be all sorted. Maybe the power will come from a micro-hydro gravity vortex ( turbulent.be).
With dropping prices and Peskovite thin film cells, eventually the carport and the car can be covered in solar 'cells'. Ultimately the window areas of the vehicle will convert the non-visible spectrum to power. |
