Why can't we embed Solar Cells on cars and use them to help recharge Batteries on Electric Cars?

In light of new Braking-reverse power generation and the increased power output abilities of Solar Cells, Most cars set outside during the day-the sensitivity of the solar cells would still generated a charge during dim light. Photoconductive paint and Solar Cells could re-energize the batteries over the hours it is set outside. If this method, in addition to air turbines and micro-generators about the wheel base could be attached, set at a light resistance, could create more power for batteries or slow release capacitors. The slow release capacitors are used in place of batteries in model airplanes and hovercraft-1 minute of charge produces 3-5 minutes or power to the craft. Why can't these principles be used in the cars. I am trying to see about this method to be environmentally friendly- this produces 0 emmisions/polution- almost silent to handle noise pollution. and you don't sacrifice any safety or room to the vehicle. The vehicle would require less repairs- no Transmission.

You can. Solar powered trickle chargers for a lead acid battery can be found at any spare parts dealer. A lot of 4x4 drivers use them to keep batteries charged while parked up and to be able to use car fridges without having to run their motor to keep up charge.All so there is a race ? across Australia Nth to Sth for solar powered cars.The only hold up to electric cars is the people that build them.

Battery Electric Vehicle $81.25 The battery electric vehicle, or BEV, is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that uses chemical energy stored in rechargeable battery packs.As with other electric vehicles, BEVs use electric motors and motor controllers instead of internal combustion engines (ICEs) for propulsion.

History of the Electric Vehicle $125.85 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The history of the electric vehicle began in the mid19th century. An electrical vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. The high cost, low top speed and short range of electric vehicles, compared to later internal combustion vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use. At the beginning of the 21st Century, interest in electrical and other alternative fuel vehicles has increased due to growing concern over the problems associated with hydrocarbon fueled vehicles, including damage to the environment caused by their emissions, and the sustainability of the current hydrocarbonbased transportation infrastructure.

Electric Vehicle Battery $81.25 An electric vehicle battery (EVB) is a rechargeable battery used in electric vehicles, making them battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Batteries are usually the most expensive component of BEVs, although batteries from old or wrecked electric cars can be bought for batterytogrid minipower plants. The cost of battery manufacture is substantial, but increasing returns to scale may serve to lower their cost when BEVs are manufactured on the scale of modern internal combustion vehicles. Since the late 1990s, advances in battery technologies have been driven by skyrocketing demand for laptop computers and mobile phones, with consumer demand for more features, larger, brighter displays, and longer battery time driving research and development in the field. The BEV marketplace has reaped the benefits of these advances.

Neighborhood Electric Vehicle $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Lowspeed vehicle is a federallyapproved streetlegal vehicle classification which came into existence in 1998 under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 500 (FMVSS 500). There is nothing in the federal regulations specifically pertaining to the powertrain. Lowspeed vehicles are defined as a fourwheeled motor vehicle that has a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) and a top speed of between 20 to 25 mph (32 to 40 km/h). Those states that authorize NEVs generally restrict their operation to streets with a maximum speed limit of 35 or 45 mph (56 or 72 km/h). Because of federal law, car dealers cannot legally sell the vehicles to go faster than 25 mph (40 km/h), but the buyer can easily modify the car to go 35 mph (56 km/h). However, if modified to exceed 25 mph (40 km/h), the vehicle then becomes subject to safety requirements of passenger cars. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Modeling and Design of an Electric AllTerrain Vehicle $105.14 This book describes and evaluates the conversion of a conventional gasoline powered allterrain vehicle (ATV) to an electric ATV. Preliminary studies are performed to obtain initial power and torque requirements for the vehicle. A detailed simulation model of the mechanical load is written and compared to manufacturer supplied data. The load model is then combined with a comprehensive electronic drive and motor simulation using an electromagnetic transient simulation program (PSCAD). A prototype of the vehicle is constructed by selecting the main components, an electric traction motor, batteries and a custom motor drive, using the simulation results. The results of both the simulation and prototypes are compared and evaluated.

Noise, Vibration, and Harshness $76.47 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (NV), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, Harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical tools that provide results reflecting human subjective impressions. These latter tools belong to the field known as psychoacoustics. Interior NVH deals with noise and vibration experienced by the occupants of the cabin, while exterior NVH is largely concerned with the noise radiated by the vehicle, and includes driveby noise testing. NVH is mostly engineering, but often objective measurements fail to predict or correlate well with the subjective impression on human observers. This is partly because the human body has its own frequency response, e.g. the ears response at moderate noise levels is approximated by Aweighting, but this does not mean that two noises with the same Aweighted level are equally disturbing. The field of psychoacoustics is partly concerned with this correlation. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
