A solar car is a solar vehicle used for land transport. Solar cars combine technology typically used in the aerospace‚ bicycle‚alternative energy and automotive industries. The design of a solar vehicle is severely limited by the amount of energy input into the car. Most solar cars have been built for the purpose of solar car races. Exceptions include solar-powered cars and utility vehicles. Solar cars are often fitted with gauges as seen in conventional cars. To keep the car running smoothly‚

make their residency here the demand for fuel increases‚ thus‚ causing higher prices for fuel. Gas prices have been increasing at alarming rates over the last five years. There has also been a significant increase in the use of fossil fuels. This year alone‚ gas increased to a whopping $3.21 average in the state of Alabama alone (www.gasbuddy.com). California had the biggest increase going above the $5.00 mark (www.gasbuddy.com). As long as our fossil fuel supplies continue to vanish‚ the price

Alternatives to Gasoline in Vehicles One of the most pressing issues in today’s society both climatically and economically is the use of gasoline and fossil fuels in our vehicles. Ever since the creation of the automobile in the early 1900s gasoline has become a commodity that helps the global economy tremendously. However‚ after over one hundred years of the use the resource has come to be scarcer‚ and all of the greenhouse gases and pollution that were released have helped set in motion the
