Fastest solar car in the world!

[hilarioph]

Amazing then ever before

[amberjacksolar]

Wow! Good work!

[TheNuclearWatermelon]

weigh out the pros and cons:

solar power

claustrophobia

[pianomanrsn01]

@TheNuclearWatermelon - Also no air conditioning or heating and no creature comforts of any type. Still 145km/hr is smoking in terms of speed. On a bright day and flat terrain you could cover perhaps 1,200 km without using a drop of petrol.

[predator810]

Incredible car. I wonder if the panel could provide enough power to climb steep roads! Though definitely some thing that would be used a lot in the near future. But it will be very costly though.

[TheIndustrialphreak]

@predator810 It all depends on the gear ratio/gearing and motor power vs total operating weight.

[predator810]

Incredible car. I wonder if the panel could provide enough power to climb steep roads! Though definitely some thing that would be used a lot in the near future.

[vninjav]

double the solar panels double the speed :D

[roykaz]

Go SoLar, Go EleCtric

[Reallaty]

imagine driving that thing all day till night time, not sure if the engine can take all day but still cool

[FerdWe]

Also i saw someone say here that it was very light and therefore very weak, ever heard of CARBON FIBER it is light and STRONGER then steal.

Also for a car to participate in the solar challenge the must pass the APK test, that means they ARE road legal.

Also this car has a topspeed of 160k/h.

are they gay? 0_0

[nightmare1alphat07]

what do you call that thing in the front, is it the future nascar

[20RoyalSuperKing]

is that design also a aerofoil to turn drag to lift? nice idea, i was looking for that half dew drop one i saw in the earlie 90's

[SpartanW98]

i hate solar cars they slow down traffic. and they get in my fucking way all the time. solar cars suck dick

[rayman961]

solar energy is the way to go water is a greenhouse gas whether u believe it or not solar power is the future

[BobbyRossRacing93]

@rayman961 now if they can go up to 150 mph I would like to see this in nascar or in F1

[sabzz23]

@rayman961 umm dude, u r a total idiot. This is because water is already acting as a greenhouse gas as we speek. It is already out into the atmosphere. The reason why oil is so bad is because it was in the ground before and not within the atmosphere acting as a greenhouse gas. Everyone who agreed with you didnt think. No offense :p

[Delljoe88]

@rayman961 not solar power. not very efficient at the moment. and about global warming...dont believe facts that are unsupported

[Xboys2000]

WTF is the moon thing ,,, that SUCKED !

[iamaus]

on 0:30 it looked like r2 was drivin it

[CarDoseS]

loool :)

[plzforgiveme987]

HAHA NICE

[hujiqwer]

VAGINA

[nceylan03]

watch it our solar car ( Barracuda) and hdyro-car (hyd-R) are in the traffic :D

Yıldız Technical University watch?v=aFoeU8i7RzA&feature=ch­annel_page

[Louis4357]

wtf was with the ugly asses?

[briackman]

not as great as the sunrunner, who goes only on the sun, no battery backup (reached about 66 mph) and is still i think the champ of solar only vehicles.

[dman665544]

i really didnt need to c there asses lol

[ARandomCanadian]

gay

[letsgoblue2011]

booooo

[Fbiman567]

its probably the fastest because their travelin across the Austrailian planes and its super sunny their lol

[TEAMALSTARE]

its the future

[insanomonkey]

Why the fuck are they showing their asses?

[kastenjessen]

They are "mooning" him... Hello solar power/moon

[wansuiclay]

Well done.

[cabo02]

Does anybody know how many MPH it will go?

[Jobunltd]

top speed during the race was app. 145 km/h.

[tsport100]

That's impressive, almost 100mph from solar cells.

[Jobunltd]

top speed during the race was app 145 km/h. Average over 3000 km was 103 km/h

[sh3p55]

@cabo02 1.609344km/mi....so 145km/hr x 1mi/1.609344km=90.09882287mi/h­r top speed. It averaged 103km/hr I think which is about a 64mi/hr average

[kirkmastar]

I participated in this event, their car was amazing. They deserved it!

[thinazzabird]

The lettering on the back of the SUV should read WARNING VEHICLE OPERATING IN NUISANCE SOCIETY

soon we all drive i those things ! LOL

2:05 ovni?? ufo?

what is this thing in the sky? dont you think its probley a plane???

[camon109]

its going down a hill most the time bitch

2:05 ovni?? ufo?

what is this thing in the sky?

Can anyone tell me what the music was (first instrumental piece, and the second)?

[Jobunltd]

from the soundtrack of Jarhead

[utubefweek]

ignoring liberal pricks...

[r3volution4eva]

how can i be a liberal, do u even know what liberal really means, liberals are more conservative in politics and besides i dont even live In the USA where u guys use hummers and pollute so how can u call pple who are researching and trying to develop solar electric cars are liberal. I am more against liberals so ya dont go around judging by political views, cos i support electric cars.

[utubefweek]

AND i did some research on an electric car chevrolet is developing, the battery will only take you 40 miles

[r3volution4eva]

i didnt say chevrolet u fuck, i said TESLA MOTORS (WHICH IS ALL ELECTRIC), which has a AC induction motor which is friction less in the core and can produce 248 HP, and battery arent that dangerous u can always replace it and ur contradicting urself cos almost everything has rechargeable batteries so if u have phone wont u be worried about leaking batteries. this is probably my last comment so i dont fucken care if u going to stay ignorant

[utubefweek]

look, your not going to be crashing your phone at 30-60 miles and hour, and yes bettery acid is very dangerous, and no I am not ignorant, I have done my research, if you wont even look at my idea your the ignorant one...

[chickenmonkeyllama]

litium ion polymer in think

[jalit]

Lol there is no acid in lithium ion batteries. Lead acid batteries are not the only battery technology around...

[jalit]

First off heavy construction work can easily be powered by solar power, heck most machinery today is powered by electric motors. And also these cars run on lithium ion polymer batteries which contains NO ACID.

[utubefweek]

and plus, electric motors= low horsepower, which either means, you get no pickup in the car, or it doesnt weigh anything

[r3volution4eva]

dude u seriously need to do a hell a lot of research to prove that wrong. ur just blind and stupid, and look ur the only idiot on youtube i have come across or in this video that have been so wrong about how crap electric and solar cars, Have u heard of the Tesla Roadster (thatz all electric) and can travel 0-60 mph (or 0-100 km) in 4 seconds, so dont dare go around saying that electric motors have low horsepower, u dont even know wat ur talking about

[utubefweek]

i know alot about cars, my dad is an automotive mechanic, and i do know, electric motors have NO POWER my dad has told me that, and my SCIENCE TEACHER has told me that, he was suprised they made a 150 hp electric motor, that means they have to build them light, which means they are not very safe if you have to make them out of WEAK AND LIGHT MATERIAL, you could get seriously injured in a car accident

[r3volution4eva]

ya i know alot about cars as well and also planning to make a SUSTAINABLE electric car (one day in da future) and i know Solar cells arent that efficient and are expensive to produce but I THINK that ur DAD, SCIENCE TEACHER AND U better stop living in the PAST cos the TESLA ROADSTER can produce 248HP (or 185Kw) and it uses a AC induction motor, I RATHER CRASH IN AN ELECTRIC CAR AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AN EXPLOSION IF I HAD CRASHED IN AN HYDROGEN CAR

[utubefweek]

a hydrogen car can produce up to 2000 HP and there are already people who have street legal water cars, just look it up on youtube, and s the steel that protects the fuel cell is alot safer then leaking battery acid, which is impossible to get rid of. and its not alot of hydrogen that powers the car, you can go 100 miles on 4 ounces of water, i do my research

[r3volution4eva]

ur just hungry for power lol!!!!

[utubefweek]

and just using solar power on JUST cars isnt going to save the world, there are plenty of other tihngs that use oil. and how are you going to run heavy construction equipment with solar power??

[billysoco7]

If high school students can build these cars, just think about what these car companies have in the works. If you think that this is such a bad solution to our environmental issues, maybe you should stop spending so much time spewing ignorant garbage on youtube and go come up with something better.

[utubefweek]

i did WATER FUEL, you take the water and burn it, look it up on youtube under "water car" i can use it in my sexy muscle cars and you can get yourself killed in a car accident cause your car doesnt weigh shit

[theorbb1234]

...you cant burn water stupid.

[r3volution4eva]

dude do u even know how a water car works, but i dont think u cant put salt water in a car, and if thatz the case then there might shorter fresh water supply for people to drink, stupid, and why u so against solar cars, there are just in development and u know OIL IS GOING RUN OUT ONE DAY COS IT NON-RENEWABLE

[utubefweek]

ok, 1st of all water is renewable, after the combustion, its back to water, we dont need oil, but we can still keep the same cars we use now

[r3volution4eva]

Dude how can u say that performance of a water car is going to be the same performance in a Petroleum based car, and look is not going to be easy for everyone to convert to cars that run on water, they might as well buy a new one and electric motors are much faster in acceleration then petrol cars, cos the current can travel in the speed of light... to turn it. and ofcourse no pollution

[utubefweek]

they are going to be the same as a gas car, becuase the hydrogen fuel cell you use to convert the water uses the hydrogen the same way you would use gasoline, that means the people that cant afford brand new shiny cars dont need to buy a brand new expensive car, not to mention the hgydrogen fuel cell you would need to install is a lot less expensive then a brand new car

[r3volution4eva]

but did u know hydrogen is much more dangerous if it leaks out, so if u crash and some of it escape from the car u could get yourself in a nasty explosion and i dont think pple wanna risk their asses like that

[utubefweek]

its not dangerous if there is nohing to ignight it

[utubefweek]

you just dont understand my point that i am trying to get across

[r3volution4eva]

itz because ur an idiot who doesnt do his research and not keep up 2 date, u seriously have to stop living in the past

[gnomespa]

Fist off, ignition is not necessary for liquefied hydrogen to explode, it being mixed with oxygen is enough. Secondly, in the "water car", water is not being burned, it is being separated through hydrolysis, then the oxygen from the air is combined again with the separated hydrogen to produce energy and water vapor. The problem is, hydrolysis requires electric energy, making it pretty inefficient to obtain hydrogen. That "water car" does not work solely on water.

[gnomespa]

Solar energy is still being researched and it is true a lot of energy is being lost, but at least it is free and clean. And please do not insult others, we are all trying to make our point. Peace.

[utubefweek]

and im gonna reply to everyone's comments cause its fun to watch them squirm

[utubefweek]

it takes very little voltage to produce hydrogen, infact, i can produce hydrogen with a 9 volt battery, and that could be enough to travel 100 miles

[gnomespa]

I'm never said I was against hydrogen as a fuel, it will probably become the fuel of the future, and it is a clean and abundant source in our enviornment.

[billysoco7]

I am the race director for the national high school solar car race. We just raced from Austin, Texas to New York. If that doesn't tell you something about where this technology is going or the potential that it has, then there is really no hope for you.

[utubefweek]

ya well gasoline and oil sent us to the moon, if that doesnt tell you something, then there is no hope for YOU

[billysoco7]

First of all, I think you should take a second to go back to english class and learn how to construct a proper sentence. Secondly, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you that this is a good thing. It's people like you who are born, contribute nothing to this world, and die a lonely alcoholic.

[utubefweek]

wow, you little bullshit, look didnt i just tell you guys about WATER FUEL?? yes i will die a lonely alchoholic, ill be the one your paying 80$ and hour to fix your car

[mortyr045]

give it time a standard solar panle puts out about 6% power since it only can use 1 type of light spectrem the new type solar panles in devlement give off 30% power output vs 6% due that they can use 7 types of uv light spectrem's

[utubefweek]

the fastest solar car was clocked in at 55 miles an hour, and the fastest gas car... well... around 300 mph...hehe wow solar energy really does suck balls

[ProfButcher]

first of all sun is for free, look at the first gas cars - how fast was that?.... 15mph?

[utubefweek]

well just think, that was way back in the 1800s when lightbulbs were new, this is when we have space shuttles orbiting around the earth and computers and flourescent lightbulbs and digital cameras and hi definition televions, the first gas cars was when you had a fire in the fireplace to warm your house, you dumb fuck

[mrpaul02]

The speed record for a solar car is far more than 55mph...

[billysoco7]

btw, the world record for speed in a solar car is 165km/hr in taiwan. That's 103 mph. I bet your piece of shit can't even do that.

[utubefweek]

well well well, the fastest street legal car in the world does the quarter mile in 7 seconds at over 140 mph

[dusteroo]

that was pretty ignorant on so many levels..

First off, these are only EXPIREMENTAL cars. Don't misjudge this technology when it's still being tested. give it time and more chances to become something more.

Second off, solar power energy does not suck balls. It sucks nothing but solar energy and converts it into useful, normal energy. It could even power the computer you're using to comment on youtube about solar power sucking balls.

So you're self-contradicting.

[PeterDeBetWeter]

Ordinary people seem to care more about their safety and comfort. :(

[powercomm]

The prototype works so what about develop into a mass production solar car for ordinary people?

[utubefweek]

because its not even street legal HAHA solar cars suck

[billysoco7]

Actually you dumb nut sack. They are street legal and are registered vehicles. So before you go saying dumb ass ignorant shit, at least stop fucking your sister.

[utubefweek]

wow you stupid fuck, you know the batteries in solar cars pollute the world more then greenhouse gasses? yes, apparently battery acid is BAD for you.

[theorbb1234]

...you're a idiot.

[utubefweek]

oohh noes, where did you get the fucking my sister? your dumbfuck parents?

[djangobelgo]

Great! Those Belgians rock!!

[Jobunltd]

Sorry man but this is the dutch team. Or do you mean those two belgian girls in the team ;)
