The Explorer, wind is a wind-powered car, portable generator of travel can be up to 250 miles of the power of the wind and a windmill.Have been applied sails to wagons than 500 c.e, but they are far from reliable, force drivers to move, which wind is available. It was not until this someone a successful long distance of wind-powered vehicle built in: Dirk Gion and Stefan Simmerer-wind-Explorer.
The car around wind of unpredictability by coupling it with battery operated. The car runs a portable windmill generator, which the batteries while parked itself, providing energy to carry the car between 150 and 250 miles site, depending on the weather and set enough one night. In 125 miles of purely electric drive used the car about as much electricity as washing and drying a load of clothes. If the conditions permit, the passenger can use the wind directly through the release of a large kite the car together.
The Explorer is hardly a country: the open-top vehicle used an aluminum frame, carbon fiber and structural foam body, to keep weight up to 200 kg (441 pound) electric energy is surrounded by a 8 kWh battery pack courtesy of one, half the size of the Chevy Volt. The three wheels come from the bike. The overall package is similar to Austin-Healey of tiny Bugeye sprite and with a top speed of about 50 mph, it is hardly a speed demon. Despite his questionable "car" State works the wind Explorer but as promised.
February Sydney, a journey of more than 3,000 miles in 18 days drove the car on the southern coast of Australia of Albany after. This was the first time, if a vehicle crossed a continent with wind power, and it now holds the record for the distance traveled by a wind-powered land vehicle for 36 hours, 306 km go.
Some use of the grid was planned, while the car was fine, but that had to be extended by tropical storm Hazrat-e Turkestan, the function of a wind turbine is limited. Electricity from the network uses more than 1300 miles total fuel cost $15 drawn. The car was held by kite-power for 260 miles along. This proved convenient as it sounds, like the empty Australian Road collision with and prevent obstacles on the road. The team a dragon, embroiled in an overhead electrical line, but the team could pull the emergency output and restring the kite.
Current through the onboard uses windmill 1,400 miles. Right conditions could have replaced this grid electricity. On average, the batteries get about 20% of their charge by the time that had left off the team for the night.
