Solar Powered Vehicle by Omer Sagiv
Monday, February 13th, 2012
A solar powered vehicle or SPV designed by London designer Omer Sagiv is a futuristic, concept car made out of aluminum with flexible thin-film modules attached to it. Ideal for riding on open lands where the sun amply blesses its harsh rays, this SPV creates enough energy for long distances. Moreover, a shaft in the center of the SPV functions as an in-built cooling system to protect the driver from outside heat. The car not only operates as a vehicle but also generates electricity to power homes with its many, multifunctional solar panels. (more…)
