Explosions, Bush Fires, and Solar Cars – the World Solar Challenge Continues
The Veolia World Solar Challenge in Australia is well under way, with 22 teams still competing under their own steam 4 days into the race. The solar cars, which start with 5kW of stored energy, must use solar power to get themselves from Darwin to Adelaide – about 1800 miles in total. The road is long and difficult, sometimes in surprising ways.
