A bit of fun - we pull together a number of videos on solar cell-powered racing.
Think of speeding cars, racing round a track. Not exactly green, or environmentally friendly, is it? More Jeremy Clarkson than Jonathon Porritt...
But what if you throw more than a little photovoltaic technology into the mix - harnessing sunlight to drive those racing devices? We take a look at the use of Solar Cells to power some interesting racing machines. And just in case, you think people don't take this seriously, just check out the work of the Dutch racing team, Nuon Solar Team and their Nuna racing machine.
Watch the three short videos here: Video - Solar Cells motor racing
As well as the work of the Nuon Solar Team, there is a "display of raw solar drag racing power" and the work of South Australian college students for a road race from Ceduna to Adelaide, aimed at promoting renewable transport alternatives...
Oh yes, and if you have an interest in photovoltaic technology, don't forget to bookmark this page - the Electronics Weekly Guide to Solar Cells. You can find it at the memorable URL of www.electronicsweekly.com/solarcells
