The authors describe the technical aspects of this solar powered car. They discuss the preliminary design and aerodynamic development. They then describe the solar cell arrays, the propulsion system (battery storage, motor and transmission), and the structural design. The authors then discuss the testing of the car, team training and strategy, and the educational benefits of the project.
