The car of the future

[izentrop]

The eBike was a good idea, here we reverse the concept and it is the muscular force that feeds the mess. Of course, on a hill, the engine helps the pilot, but on the flat the latter finds himself in perpetual hill! There is indeed a positive effect of regulation of the effort, but also a rather general increase of this one and the losses of output do not disappear by the magic of a mind, however large it is!
In short, muscle strength is too weak to serve as the basis for an ambitious propulsion system.

It's clear.
100 kg to drag, it's not like a bicycle.

there is a pedal assembly as well as a system of electro-generators which sends energy to the batteries on which the engine relies.

does not make sense, or it is misinterpreted, the generators are the PVs and the battery, the crankset should only intervene as a small percentage aid, it is therefore a vehicle with high electric assistance.

It's not clear at all!
If we push the reasoning, we have absolutely nothing to do with “yield” as long as solar energy is free!
So your arguments are irrelevant in terms of the risk of a hypothetical lack of feasibility.

Solar appears more like the icing on the cake (who said the word "marketing"? ) as really decisive because of the small total surface of the panels and their location around the vehicle. This arrangement guarantees that the whole is never functional, whatever the sunshine conditions ...

Solar panels only work with… the sun?
Fortunately, this is wrong! The production of electricity from solar panels does not depend on the heat emitted by the sun but on its luminosity. Composed of photovoltaic cells, solar panels convert light into electric current.

Efficiency of photovoltaics without much sunshine.
If these are therefore more efficient in bright sunlight, they continue to produce electricity in cloudy weather or in the rain. So don't panic if you live in the northern part of France, solar energy is also suitable for you. On the other hand, you will have to arm yourself with a little more patience before you can also enjoy it at night.

Certainly, but in what proportions? Here, the surface area of ​​the sensors is modest and the vehicle (relatively) greedy ... I see it more as having to be recharged regularly on the sector, with the complications of regeneration as a bonus.

Yeah ... Anyway, I hope there is air conditioning in this box, because otherwise ... Oulala!

[Ahmed]

With all the electricity produced, there is no problem, air conditioning donf!
In other words, if you're too hot, pedal harder!

[Obamot]

Unfortunately most consumers are not driven by an ideal. What matters is to see if the performance of the vehicle corresponds to the technical sheet.

But to hear Izentrop talk about efficiency to suggest quietly that the concept would be stillborn is quite mind-boggling if we are going to explore and compare it to the efficiency of a heat engine.

[izentrop]

Yeah, that's the wallet, the priority for most people. Green washing works just for subsidies.

(When I think this guy prides himself on defending global warming when all his values ​​go to the exact opposite ... what an idiot or what a Tartuffe ....)
