MIT team unveils new solar car

MITs Solar Electric Vehicle Team, the oldest such student team in the country, unveiled its latest high-tech car on Friday, Feb. 27 in Lobby 13.

The new vehicle, Eleanor, is equipped with wireless links so lead and chase vehicles will be able to monitor every aspect of the cars electrical performance in real time. Its batteries have enough energy, when fully charged, to get the car from Boston to New York City without need of sunlight.

2 years for that s@%t? you guys ve been wasting your time and resources. 10-15 SPs, electric motor on 4 wheels? what a ugly car with a lack of intelligence. why dont you first learn how to to put 10 0r 15 SPs into 1 SP, so you dont need to use too much space

@samgee2007 You just reaffirm my observations that the douche bags that post asinine shit on YouTube aren't always English speaking or American, as some people like to claim. Stupidity knows no national or cultural allegiance.

Again, this was NOTHING to do with competition with China. Get out.

Unfortunately, that's a terrible thing and if it were to become completely factual the world would collapse and die.

[samgee2007]

Americans cannot beat the Chinese!..Chinese rule the world!

Who knows it can even become a wind sail system aswell?

The front 2 wheels should be higher like 2 long arms. making the standing fish like design can make a person sit properly.

Up standing design like fish should be nice so a person can site a normal way and using the 3 wheel system can make the it stand in balance.
