We all know and heard only about diesel powered, petrol powered, gas powered, hydrogen cell powered cars. But have you ever thought about wind powered cars. Does this logic works. Majority of us will say no… But Rory Handel and Maxx Bricklinas from Beverly Hills, California made it true.
The supercar designed by them could reach a top speed of 155mph without harming the environment, for it runs on wind energy. The environmentally friendly Formula AE car will initially use a solar-powered battery to move, but later depend upon the airflow around it to power a turbine. The high performance car will take less than four seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. The car is expected to cost around 100,000 pounds when it hits the market. The two-seater's bodywork boasts paper-thin solar paneling that could fully charge the battery in just 1.5 hours. However, this time will be reduced to just six minutes with a new prototype battery. A full battery would enable the drivers to cover more than 200 miles or to race around a track for at least an hour. An advanced alternating current induction motor with a power output of 212 kilowatts will propel the Formula AE. In fact, the chassis will be constructed from lightweight aluminium and super strong steel in a Formula 1-style monocoque shell. Rory Handel and Maxx Bricklinas from Beverly Hills, California designed the sleek motor of the car, and they expect the prototype to be completed in August.
So if this car comes for sale, it is sure that it is a big boon for us to save our environment from pollution. And it will be also helpful for us, as today there is more scarcity for fuel. So let’s wait for its arrival…
