MIT builds solar-powered race car that runs all day
A group of researchers at MIT have developed an out-of-the-ordinary new race car, one that isnt dependent on gasoline. Thats right, the team has built a car that runs on solar power .
The car, dubbed Eleanor , can reportedly maintain a cruising speed of 55 miles-per-hour and run all day — if the sun is shining, according to MIT. To get that kind of power from sunlight, researchers have designed the car with six square meters of monocrystalline silicon solar cells and an improved electronic systems.

Progress in the Solar Cell Two Step Method
Thermal photovoltaics are solar cells that convert the light that radiates from a hot surface into electricity. The first applications will be generating electricity from waste heat, and then the technology could be developed to generate electricity from sunlight far more efficiently than photovoltaic solar cells. In the thermal photovoltaics system, sunlight is concentrated on a device to heat it up, and the light it emits is then converted into electricity by the photovoltaic portion of the cell. That’s a very interesting combination of engineering steps.
