How are solar cars and gas car the same?
They both use energy to propel the vehicle. Solar cars do not exist in todays world and need serious technology increases before they will be viable.
What role does weather play in solar cars?
Without solar energy being able to be absorbed by solar panels on a car, it will or will eventually die, and need to be recharged.
What is the working of solar engine for solar car?
A solar engine for a solar car is actually an electric motor. Solar cells on a solar car collect solar energy, which is then sent to a battery or battery pack in the form of DC current. This energy is then used to power the solar car.
What gasoline does to a car?
It provides the original source of energy that makes the car move. Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
What does gasoline have that cars need?
Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
Can you power a car with solar energy?
yes
Is a battery car an example of solar energy?
Car batteries are seldom charged by solar energy. Normally, they are charged by the engine of the car, which powers an alternator, providing electrical power.
Does a car use solar energy?
if they make solar cars than yes :)
What kind of fuel does the solar car use?
The fuel a solar car uses is energy from the sun converted into electricity using solar cells.
Do solar cars need fuel?
No because they are powered by solar energy! Hence the name 'Solar Car'
What is the source of energy for a solar-powered car?
The Sun !
Does a solar car ride faster with 3 or 4 wheels?
Do you mean go faster? All things being equal, a 3-wheeled solar car would have a lower rolling resistance compared to a 4-wheeled solar car. It would be more energy efficient, and therefore able to go faster. A 4-wheeled solar car is inherently more stable.
