Tiny Car Harnesses the Sun’s Power
Though real, human sized, practical solar powered cars are still the stuff of university science contests and eco-dreams, today’s resources do offer an actual, if mini, alternative.
This is the world’s smallest solar powered car, putting wheel to road whenever the sun shines down on its tiny solar cell. The photovoltaic panel turns the sunlight into electricity, which powers the motor and turns the wheels. Measuring a minuscule 3.3 x 2.2 centimeters, the car is a fun and working demonstration of how to harness the sun’s power.
At $20, it might be just the ticket for a science-minded child on your holiday shopping list, as long as they’re above the age of eating toys (small parts we’re told).
