Thousand yuan homemade solar car

Yesterday morning, a four-wheeled trolley was parked along the sidewalk of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. The unique shape of the trolley attracted everyone to stop and watch. It was surprising that the car advocate was actually a farmer from Suqian, because he usually likes mechanical maintenance. He actually spent six months and made the solar car himself.

The reporter saw that this solar car is 1.8 meters long and only 1.3 meters high, and the shell is made of stainless steel plates and steel pipes. It is assembled from components of electric vehicles, and includes hand-held steering wheel, horn, turn signal, and brakes. According to Master Zhang, he usually likes mechanical maintenance, which took half a year and he drummed the solar car. In the rear compartment of this four-wheeled small electric vehicle, a battery is installed to charge not only the power source but also the six solar panels on the roof to convert the light energy of the sun into electricity to charge the battery. Due to the relatively small area of ​​solar panels, the current car can only travel about 30 kilometers a day, with a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Master Zhang said that the cost of his car was only about 1,000 yuan. "It's mainly manual. There are some waste materials that don't make much money. To complete the calculation, it may be more expensive." Master Zhang said that he likes to carry a child for a ride, not only saving fuel and electricity, but also saving money. Cozy.

The reporter learned from the traffic police department that such self-made vehicles without manufacturers or related safety signs are generally forbidden on the road, but also for the safety of the parties and others.
