Solar-Powered Race Car That Runs All Day
A group of researchers at MIT have developed an out-of-the-ordinary new race car, one that isnt dependent on gasoline. Thats right, the team has built a car that runs on solar power. The car, dubbed Eleanor , can reportedly maintain a cruising speed of 55 miles-per-hour and run all day -- if the sun is shining, according to MIT. To get that kind of power from sunlight, researchers have designed the car with six square meters of monocrystalline silicon solar cells and an improved electronic systems. And if the car is running on a rainy day or at night, its batteries can store enough energy for the car to make the trip from Boston to New York City without any sunlight, MIT researchers added.
