State of the Art Solar Cars Rev up for the International Solar Race in Australia
The world renowned solar race in Australia will kick off in the mid of October 2011 this year. The race will be hotly contested by 21 countries comprising of 42 teams. The 1800 mile race from Darwin to Adelaide has proven to be an epic battle over the years, and once again the winning country will prove their passion for solar power technology, and ultimately for the fight against global warming.
The huge international event is expected to be attended by big crowds from across the country & overseas and analysts believe that events like this will be a great profile boost for solar power in Adelaide. It's likelysuch positive publicity can only make the installation of home solar panels more popular and further develop the local solar industry.
Top contenders for winning the race are as follows:
The "Xenith"; it is Stanford University's price possession this year and was recently unveiled (August 1). The Xenith has a top speed of 50mph and runs on Li-ion batteries. With their strong previous experience Stanford University will be a front runner this year.
The Endeavor from Cambridge University Eco racing; the veteran competitor has had its electrical wiring overhauled, and is equipped with a new battery pack. The team hopes that the technical glitches that they encountered a couple of years ago will not be repeated and they can finish strongly this year.
Chopper del Sol; MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) car was unveiled last April. Though the Chopper del Sol met with an accident during a test run, MIT is confident that the car will perform at its optimum conditions during the Australian event.
Avenir; the Delhi Technological University has been grateful to the sponsorship of several companies to enable it to develop the Avenir, with a top speed of 53 mph and a cruising speed of 40 mph should be right in the mix.
Sunswift IV; built by the University of New South Wales, there is of course a lot of interest in the local contender. The team installed new communication systems which provide information about how the car is performing in real time through their smart phones. This latest addition to the Sunswift series has added a revolutionary twist to the existing technology that hopefully will provide the winning edge.
Sikat ll; after finishing 12th in 2007 with Sinag the De La Salle University from the Philippines has now entered a newer version called Sikat II in hopes of breaking their old record. With an impressive top speed of 70 mph Sikat II is something to watch out for.
More teams will be joining the race and the event promises to be action packed and record breaking, as well as a great profile boost for solar power in Adelaide. Even more importantly though this year's solar race will continue to lay a strong foundation for emerging solar technology and prove that countries can collaborate against global warming and be successful!
