Wind-powered car, a German-made "Wind Explorer" wind-powered car, recently successfully crossed the vast Australian continent, enduring hot and cold weather along the way, covering a total distance of about 5,000 kilometers. It is worth mentioning that it is mainly driven by wind and kites along the way, and the cost of charging the battery is only 10 Australian dollars (about 66 yuan). It is reported that this is the first time in the world that a wind-driven car has been subjected to such a harsh long-distance travel test. This wind-driven car named "Wind Explorer" was jointly developed by two German inventors Dirk Zeon and Stephen Siemer. On Valentine's Day, February 14, 2011, "Wind Explorer" After a long journey of about 5,000 kilometers across the entire Australian continent, it successfully arrived at the terminal in Sydney. This is the first time this prototype has undergone such an important test. This is the world's first roadworthy wind-powered vehicle that can travel such a long distance, and it is certainly the first kite-powered vehicle that can hit the road anywhere in the world. We want to tell you that if you want to build a lightweight electric fuel-efficient vehicle, everything is ready now. The use of renewable energy is enough to complete such a difficult and dangerous journey.
Difficult to convert. Wind power generation refers to a way of using wind power to turn a generator and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Since electric vehicles do not have any aerodynamic requirements, it is difficult to capture and convert airflow. Moreover, electric vehicles are The vehicle speed obtained when driving is low, and the airflow generated is correspondingly weakened, resulting in a low capture rate of wind energy, making it difficult to take advantage of wind energy generation, so it is not used.
