After mentioning
Ed Passerini in the previous post, I wanted to find some links about his work with solar-powered cars.
Here, and
here, and
here, and
here. If you're inclined to read his tendentious book, here's
a link to it.
He let me drive one of his cars in the early 90's, and while it was very low-powered, I was jazzed. It felt like a mixture of a Honda CRX and a battery-powered golf cart. Maybe I'll build one....someday. Passerini is a kook, but I genuinely liked him.
You can email him, if you're curious: epasseri@nc.ua.edu
An added note, one of the links refers to a man as "his longtime partner". He was chasing chicks back in the 1990's, so I'm not sure how "partner" was being used. Damn confusing modern-speak.
