Solar Powered Cars
By Brennan Howe
In the 1990’s, emissions laws were being enforced throughout the United States. Many colleges and universities began looking at the possibility of solar powered cars. The finding were that the solar collectors for the cars to run were too large to be put into the vehicles. Development continues on the solar collections to make it possible. For those skeptical, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t all come together in the near future. There are many organizations throughout the world working on doing just that.
Students are aware that using fossil fuels for cars has a negative impact on the environment. Students investigate the amount of pollution a car creates. Students have the opportunity to work together with their research and other students to investigate how to use solar energy for cars. They research the challenges involved and work to find solutions.
For the past 20 years, Panasonic has offered the Panasonic World Solar Challenge. More than three hundred teams from around the world have brought their car to the event. Many find developing solar powered cars to be the challenge of a lifetime. They continue to find ways to get one step closer to being successful. The next Panasonic event takes place in October of 2007.
The Winston Solar Car Team began an education program in 1993. They provide learning materials, on-site visits, and workshops for high schools across the country. The program is designed to motivate students in the areas of science, engineering, and technology. The program

Company plans world's largest solar energy farm in California
Sterling Energy Systems hopes to build the world's largest solar power plant -- a 500 megawatt, 4,500-acre solar energy farm of large, dish-shaped mirrors -- in the Mohave desert near Victorville, Calif.
Despite benefits, most still wary of expensive solar power units

consists of a two year education program. At the end of the program students have the opportunity to display their work.
The first Winston Solar Car Challenge took place in 1995. Ninety schools participated in the program with nine schools building cars to race. The 1997 challenge involved three hundred and fifty schools in five countries. Eight cars qualified to run in a six hundred mile race from Dallas, Texas to San Antonio, Texas. As the participants continue to grow, so does the challenge. The 1999 race was a sixteen hundred mile race. In 2002 Dell Computers became a sponsor of the event.
태양 강화한 차는 아직도 그들을 매일 운영해 두는 방법을 포함하여 운동할 것이다 많은 벌레를, 밤이나 낮이나 비치하고 있다. 새로운 디자인은 나오는 것을 계속하고, 이 신비 해결의 도전은 전세계 성장하는 것을 계속한다. 성공적으로 태양 강화한 차의 개념을 누구가에 관계 없이 완료하는지, 그것은 화석 연료 사용 안전한 대안을 제안하고, 저것은 저희의 각각에게 이득일 것이다.
여기에서 있다 조금 더 태양 에너지 기사는…
