With the increasing price of fuel the automotive industry had tried hard to create an innovation that can be relied upon as a substitute for petroleum
Is Dirk Gion and Stefan Simmerer which cleverly utilize a power which it had never been ogled namely wind power. To prove its innovation, the inventor of German origin was also tested their prototype cars in Australia.
With the increasing price of fuel the automotive industry had tried hard to create an innovation that can be relied upon as a substitute for petroleum
Is Dirk Gion and Stefan Simmerer which cleverly utilize a power which it had never been ogled namely wind power. To prove its innovation, the inventor of German origin was also tested their prototype cars in Australia.
Tests were carried out seriously. The car named “Wind Explorer” the work of these men had managed to travel up to 5,000 kilometers. But do not think this car will have a screen to capture the wind and move the car, but the Wind Explorer is really shaped car ‘no screen’.
“This is the first wind-powered car that can travel, and certainly this ‘car kite’ first, which can be driven on the road anywhere in the world,” said Dirk Gion like detikOto quoted by Reuters on Wednesday (16/02/2011) .
Car wind is able to convert wind into electricity which is then stored in batteries. So when in low wind conditions, the car can still continue to run with backup power in the batteries.
“These electrical components only cost about $ 10 Australian for the entire journey (5,000 km). I hope in the next ten years, you can see great progress there.” he said.
That’s the technology side, while the looks, this wind-powered vehicle has the appearance like a racing car with carbon fiber bandage on his body.
Because that’s not surprising that this car is relatively light weight which is only 80 kg only if not paired battery and 200 kg when the batteries. But still, this car is lighter than conventional cars that already exist.
But like any other test car, these vehicles still have shortcomings. Especially in the sector in driving comfort. Because this vehicle has a seating position is very close to the asphalt, only 15 cm from the road.
Not not only that these vehicles also have problems with temperature. When in the vehicle, the temperature in the car wind can not be controlled, sometimes very hot tub an oven sometimes also very cold like a refrigerator.
“The hot air into the car, and nearly burned our skin, then three days later we have to feel the cold air to 7 degrees (45 F) and we became frozen,” Gion straightforward.
But even so, to the ability of this car seems to deserve thumbs up. Because wind power is utilized this car was not only able to make it run away, but also run fast. The car can run up to the wind speed of 90 km per hour.
