Solar-Powered Car in Edmonton

by Darby2 - last update: Jul 11, 2008

Step on the gas...NO, shed some light!

Futuristic travel
This amazing vehicle I ran across while making my rounds in the city. It's powered strictly by light. The array of solar panels generates 900 watts of energy which is enough to move this vehicle to a top speed of 120 kmh.

Visit the website here: Solar Powered Car
Objective:
Develop and build a solar car to set a world distance record.
Strapped in...ready to go
Mission Statement:
To fulfill a dream and inspire others to accomplish their dreams in a positive way to benefit mankind and the environment.
Commitment:
Promote the use of clean and sustainable energy.
The car is on its way to Inuvik, NWT and will continue on it's round-the-world trip.
The vehicle and the project is the brainchild and passion of Marcelo da Luz from Toronto.

From humble beginnings come great ideas.
