Sunswift 7 (Ep 03 - Test. Break. Fix. Repeat) - Building the world's fastest solar-powered vehicle.

Follow the UNSW Sunswift Racing team as they design, build and race an electric-powered solar car in an effort to take back a world record (fastest solar-powered vehicle) and to redefine the future of sustainable transport through the research and development of solar electric vehicle technologies.

Episode Details: The team is finally on the racetrack, giving the car and team some real-world testing and hurdles to overcome before the public launch.

I love that continuous work of finding problems and fixing them. That builds the experience that makes the next version better. The car looks great and it's great to see the whole team working together on it to produce something record breaking. Keep it up!

From the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 we feel part of your achievements, it is a true milestone, congratulations!

An excellent program. Well done UNSW and the Sunswift Racing Team.

Great car, great series! These comments on bad design - they clearly have NO idea what they're looking at.

[win-win]

So brilliant! Hope to be commercial soon.

[tanadarko]

What a goofy looking vehicle!! Very exciting though stuff, let's hope these breakthroughs carry into the market ASAP.

Felicitaciones, veo que su auto tiene un futuro prometedor: seguro, económico y poco contaminante.

What are the ground rules you’re using in this endeavor?Is there a time/ or other limit on collecting solar power? Is there a wheel number requirement? Solar array square meters limit? Minimum weight requirement? Wind or road level/flatness limits?

Es el futuro del automovil infimos costos y capacidad

[CALLME-D]

i don't see a concept car here, not even a vehicle, i just can see a huge solar panel with wheels that's all..

[ManojKumar]

does this version have an HVAC system?

[MactheHusky]

I like that he's holding two iPhones and has two computers while watching the road

Si la humanidad trabajara unida, creando un prototipo universal a través de un sitio wikimovil con blockchain donde todos contribuyeran con el objetivo de salvar el planeta sería magnífico pero está lejos de eso.

[juanpeleteiro]

Loads of solar pannel also It shoud have wind power would increase its efficiiency!

[nic-chancellor]

Will UNSW give all this great development to China?

[ic]

Now do this same car design but with a combustion engine would be sick

[martinspru]

Driving 20 kmh with helmets?
Why they spend time for a useless car?
They have nothing to do?
Spend your time for cars, which are later produced for daily use.
Till now, there is no concept on the world for that.

Умоляю объясните!!! В чём смысл раздутого хайпа??? Ну поставьте вы батареи, хоть во весь автомобиль (на крышу салон, багажник и т.д.) пусть весит несколько десятков тонн, и проедет 5000км, 10000км, да хоть 100т.км. на одной зарядке! Другое дело он на солнечных светоэлементах проехал 1000 км, вот это была бы новость, Илон бы с инфарктом, как минимум с лёг...
