A team from California has successfully made a car with wind power, which if implemented will achieve a more kencangan velocity of the wind speed itself.
In the experiment on 16 May, produced a car that reaches speeds 2.86 times faster than the wind speed.
The system is very simple machines work, because do not need electric spark combustion engine as the engine Cats-type two-step machine with a piston that moves up and down play the machine axis.
Round piston dead point is 70 degrees, with this system enough time to create very high pressure air compressed in the cylinder chamber thus pushing the cylinder head. The principle works not far different from the principle of combustion engine.
For the higher air pressure, wind fuel is also stored in the high-pressure tube made of heat resistant plastic or fiberglass flowed through pipes into the engine. While the engine exhaust air is also used to cool the cabin.
To reduce power loss and optimal vehicle speed, engine MDI designing simple electronic distribution system to control airflow into the engine it is super light.
Gearshift also runs automatic system driven by electronic transmission made by French company. Computer system controls the speed of the vehicle and shift gears efficiently for not using the clutch manually.
When the vehicle stops, passengers or dip at a red light the engine will spin move magnetic disc that will generate power to drive the compressor in the wind.
Wind power machine will work at speeds below 50 km / h while for speeds above that turn conventional machine that works. MDI guarantee ready to design a machine with different number of cylinders.
MDI is also ready to work on vehicles with a special order for the user is busy prepared the car with technology specifications spacecraft equipped working computer with an internet connection, telephone, satellite tracking, navigation system operational use voice recognition system.
Cavallaro that the creators are getting funding from Joby Internet giant Google and Energy, the chassis of the car was made with help from San Jose State University aerodynamics department.
It took one year for Cavallaro to achieve this goal. If you want to make it also can be modeled from detailed photographs and schematic that was published on his blog Cavallaro.
