A Solar Car PrimerIntroduction

A Solar Car Primer: Introduction [Solar car racing helps to push the development of automotive technology in new directions because it is free from the constraints by which automobile manufacturers regard themselves bound. For example, solar racers have demonstrated that it is possible to do much with far less energy than that which is lavished on commercial automobiles. Solar racing, as do other racing venues, provides a means for manufacturers to test and showcase their products. It puts a lot of young, flexible, intelligent minds to work on these difficult problems, minds that do not know what they cannot do.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Solar car racing helps to push the development of automotive technology in new directions because it is free from the constraints by which automobile manufacturers regard themselves bound. For example, solar racers have demonstrated that it is possible to do much with far less energy than that which is lavished on commercial automobiles. Solar racing, as do other racing venues, provides a means for manufacturers to test and showcase their products. It puts a lot of young, flexible, intelligent minds to work on these difficult problems, minds that do not know what they cannot do.]
