Cambridge University Eco Racing Solar Car - Positive TV & The Ecologist

Felix Gonzales from Positive TV meets the Cambridge Eco Racing Team and their Solar Powered Car "Endevour" -

35% of the Uk's energy is used on transport and technologies in research such as the Cambridge developed motor and battery and management system may contribute to the consumer car technology of tomorrow.

The team will race accoss the Austalian outback on a 3000km race travelling at speeds of 60kph in gruelling temperature and humidity testing man and machine.

Go CUER!

Everyone should watch the film 'Race the Sun' to get an idea of what it will be like out there.

I'm sure you'll give the Dutch something to think about!

Yeah well 'nerds' are the ones that thought of the ideas you have today. Be grateful.

[JUKIO01]

you know, i always thought these things were for a bunch of geeks and nerds, no offense. but it looks alot of fun, as a computer engineering student, it would be fun to do stuff like this.
