Wisdomkosi: what makes it a bullshit?

Cos it cant work.. Even the theory of it is greatly flawed from a scientific perspective.

That thread was very exhaustive and even people who studied renewable energy also shed light on why this would not work..

#First Obvious flaw:: Whats the amount of power that Solar panel can absord and how long would it take to gather enough energy to charge the battery that would power the motor enough to move the car. A Car made of solid metal and not alloys and composite.

#Second... How many Solar Panels have you ever seen in your life that was installed flat?! DO you know why you have never come across any?! Because the Sunlight does not fall at a 90 degree angle to the earth.


Should I keep going?!

And what's wrong with spending time in the mechanic's workshop?

Infact.....all our student engineers should spend some time in a mechanic's workshop....free practical experience.

silverprince413: A young Nigerian student doing his last year
in electronic and electrical engineering at
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has built
a car operating on solar power.



Segun Oyeyiola explains that his car uses both wind
and solar energy for the functioning, The Net
reports. Moreover, the man developed an
application for its installation in the car, which app
will inform the driver about the battery level,
weather conditions and other essential parameters.
In an interview to allAfrica.com Segun spoke about
how he came up with the idea and eventually
embodied it. He confessed his first motivation was
to eradicate the causes of climate change resulting
in fuel combustion.
"In the course of my research, I found out that our
regular cars contribute immensely to climate
change… If we could manufacture cars that do not
use fuel or reduce the number of cars that use fuel;
our world will be a better place for us to live in."



The student had to work and study hard to achieve
his aim, which was even harder because of absence
of electricity most of the time.
Apart from that, the final year student faced other
challenges:
"Asides the lack of electricity, getting the right
materials and text books to study as well as other
needed tools was difficult. But the most prominent
of them was the lack of funds. I started using my
personal funds which I obtained by helping people
to do their projects and a little fund my parents also
contributed towards the project."
He also explained that the resulting model is a
prototype, but not the final look of the car. Segun
hopes to develop his project into a future car for
Nigeria and Africa, as it is created with regard to our
climate.
The young man points out another important
benefit of using his auto – low maintenance cost:
"Everyone likes it and they are willing to start
driving it around town because of its low cost of
maintenance. I developed a simple software that
can be installed on our laptops and smart phones to
tell us the battery level, the weather condition, the
distance we can cover during different weather
conditions and GPS location of the car."



Enthusiastic about his project, Segun says he is not
sure whether he would like to sell the idea to some
entity, he prefers to have the project funded and
continue working on upgrading the auto:
"I would rather they fund me to put together a team
to help me perfect them and make them
commercial."
In conclusion the 30-year-old urged youths to look
for solutions to the global problems and never stop
learning something new.
"And it’s better to start anything we wanted to do
now. Let’s do what will make us happy and that
which will not affect our fellow being negatively."

collynzo2:
Did Collynzo say there is anything wrong with it?
Just made an observation.

superior1:


[size=13pt]There were many things that is scientifically impossible several years ago including flying, give the fella kudos for even thinking of it.

Never say Never[/size]

Yeah!!

But there are many things that have still not changed but remained constant since time immemorial: Example: The Angle of the Sun and its incident rays.

alekside: You ehn! You love hating

MEILYN: This news made frontpage some months back. Why recycle the news?

MadCow1: Thats how COnvenant University invented 'Urine Generator'..

Oya start am na.... #Na there the Wine turn back to water..

MadCow1:

#Chino for Governor!!

#SAI APGA!
