Wind and Solar Powered Concept Vehicles

These days , many people are trying to be environmentally friendly in almost every possible way they can. This can be anything from recycling to using alternative fuel sources. These alternative fuel sources can be used to power homes and in the near future cars . There are some concept cars to use as wind or solar power instead of conventional fuels such as gasoline or diesel. One of the first concepts for alternative fuel source was to use electricity instead of gas , we now have hybrid cars that can run on electricity with gasoline as a second source of fuel , and we also have different types of cars that run off electricity.
The first concept car on our list is AERO . AERO was designed by Cristian Polaco be a 3 wheel car , environmentally friendly and more than one. This car can accomplish many things using little energy for its rechargeable batteries. The batteries can be recharged by solar energy that is generated from a solar panel between the two front tires or wind energy system using wind harvesting of the car. Of course, if you are in a place where there is no wind or light , you can simply plug it into a 120V source .
If you have been hang gliding and rained, you may like the next concept car . The Wind light vehicle is powered by the wind , about the same wait a sailing boat is . It is also a 3-wheeled car , but it has a device that acts on it as a kind of kite. When you do not use the " kite " of the car if rises above lean car, as it is a windshield . As AERO , if you are not in a place that is enough wind to fly on the road, you can just use the electric motors in each wheel are to run this car kite.
Lamborghini has always been known for their luxury, style , and speed, but now they have something else to add to their list, being environmentally friendly . Flavio Adriani has created a concept car , Lamborghini Countach EV, which runs on electricity that is produced by both solar and wind energy. Countach EV has 4 wheels and as light winds vehicle, each is powered by an electric motor which is powered by batteries . It has solar panels on the roof of the car to the rear end . On the same front of the car headlights are four wind engines that help power the car . Now you can ride in style and be environmentally friendly .
Next on the list is called Ventile . This car was designed by a French automotive designer , Thierry Dumaine . The car is supposed to be a mixture of traditional and modern style car that is self- sufficient by converting wind energy . The car has very large wheels each with two tires and a small fan in between. This is one way the car can convert wind energy . Since the wheels are so large , it allows the wind to enter the base of the car where it is then converted to energy . The energy created is stored in generators near each wheel .
