A Race Car run on Solar Power can hit 60 mph.

Students from Cambridge University have designed a New Solar

Power Car which uses the same amount of energy as used in a hair

dryer can cruise at 60 miles per hour.The Formula I Championship

leader Jenson Button launched the car at the Goodwill Festival of

Speed.The car has been named “Endeavour.”

In this coming autumn the Endeavour will be competing across

Australia’s Outback in the 3000 Kms World Solar Challenge Race.

The Solar car uses high efficiency silicon cells on its roof,which

thereby captures all the power it requires from the solar energy.

Anthony Law who is the group manager said,”UK’s 35% of the

energy use is done by transportation, so on the climate change

there could be a big impact of on such areas.The solar car is priced

at UKpounds 200,000/-.For more detailed information about this

Students of IIT Kanpur India designed and developed the Nano Satellite.

A group of students from the Indian Institute of Technology in

Kanpur India have designed and developed a nano satellite that

can provide real-time data on forestation,drought,floods and

vegetation.The main features of the satellite is that it will send

imagery on actual ground condition,a tracking station at the

institute will be set up and real-time data on forestation,floods,

vegetation, and drought will be received.

Mr.Santanu Agrawal is a M.Phil student who headed a successful

team of whizkids in the design and development of the nano

satellite at the cost of US$ 500,000/-(ie:1/2 million dollars).The

satellite has been named “Jugnu”and will be launched by the end

of December 2009.The satellite will be handed over to the Indian

Space Research Organisation(ISRO)before the launching.

Satellites which are larger in size carry much more complicated

electronic components which weigh in tonnes.The nano satellite

(jugnu) will not require a dedicated launch as the weight of the

satellite is less than 8 kgs,and hence it can be carried on the back

of the larger satellite that will be launched.

Are you guessing where this term nanotechnology comes in,well

“jugnu”is termed as nano satellite for its small size and affordable

price.Recently the Indian Space Research Organisation have

started accepting satellites for launching in space from other

countries,colleges and universities.Hence this bought about an

inspiration to the students of the Indian institute of technology at

kanpur in India.

These twenty students of IIT Kanpur with an inspiration made up

there mind as a team to develop,design and fabricate a satellite

and hand it over to ISRO for the launch.Many of the space

agencies across the globe prefer to focus on larger satellites which

are much more complex than the not so popular nano satellites.

IIT Kanpur celebrates its golden jubilee this month,hence the

students designed and developed this nano satellite(jugnu) as a

contribution on behalf of the students to the institution.For more

NASA introduces the Green Flight Challenge.

The Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency(CAFÉ) and the NASA
Innovative partnerships Program have introduced the launching of
the Green Aircraft Challenge.This competition of flight capabilities
for aircraft is that it should average at least 100 miles per hour on
a 200 mile flight besides a successful performance of more than
200 miles per gallon.

The competition will take place in the month of July 2011,at the
Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa,California
U.S.A.NASA has kept a prize money for the aircraft which is 1.5
Million US$ for its efficiency and top performance.A diversity of
different changes in experimental aircrafts using hybrid propulsion,
solar,electrical,and biofuel.

Many aircraft builders and large universities have shown great
interest to put team members of those group in the Challenge.
To win the competition the team member should make use of the
latest available technology in aircraft structural designs,
thermodynamics,mechanical,electrical engineering and
aerodynamics.

Challenge as a national display of “Green”technology is expected
to bring ahead first step in making less severe all three of the
climatic conditions ie:zero carbon energy sources,conservation,and
efficiency.CAFE is dedicated to bring forward the understanding of
personal aircraft technologies through education,analytical studies
and research.

CAFÉ was established in the year1981 as a non profit organization.
The Green Flight Challenge is managed by CAFÉ for the NASA.
And as part of the Centennial Challenges program NASA takes total
responsibility of the prize money.For complete detailed information
