174. Dude, Where’s My
Solar Powered Car?
Sean Christmann
Email: mech@craftymind.com
Twitter: @seanalltogether
Thursday, March 12, 2009
175. There’s a lot of myths floating
around about cars these days.
“Forget water powered cars, I’m
getting a solar powered car!”
Thursday, March 12, 2009
176. It’s true that solar cars exist, but
the laws of physics are against us
= 2 hp
~27% solar efficiency
= 190 hp
would require over
2500% solar efficiency
Thursday, March 12, 2009
177. “Well what if I buy power from renewable
resources like solar and wind farms”
“Then I can drive an electric car that’s
technically ‘solar powered’”
Thursday, March 12, 2009
178. The truth is, unless you own one
of these...
...then congratulations, you
already drive a “solar powered”
car.
Thursday, March 12, 2009
180. In fact, almost all energy we use
today is a by-product of solar
radiation
Thursday, March 12, 2009
181. “Yeah, but we can’t wait a million years
for more oil to be created”
Thats true...
Thursday, March 12, 2009
182. ...but don’t assume that electricity
is the only “renewable” way of
storing energy
Thursday, March 12, 2009
183. So what fuel will be in your
next car when petroleum
runs out?
Answering that question is
problematic, because we built our
entire economy on the best fuel for
the job - petroleum (gas, diesel)
Thursday, March 12, 2009
184. People don’t want to lose the comforts
๏
engineered around petroleum
I want a lot of horsepower
-
I want to drive 300 miles between refueling
-
Refueling should be fast
-
Fuel tanks shouldn’t take up much room
-
Thursday, March 12, 2009
185. Fuel Contenders: Batteries
Cheap and no exhaust waste
๏
Electric motors are very efficient at turning
๏
electricity into motion.
Energy density is horrible. In the Tesla car, 200
๏
miles of battery power weigh 1000 lbs and take
up alot of space
Thursday, March 12, 2009
186. Fuel Contenders: Hydrogen
Electrolysis should allow for clean creation,
๏
fuel-cells cleanly power cars
Should be fast to refuel
๏
Low energy density, compression requires
๏
cooling
Thursday, March 12, 2009
187. Fuel Contenders: Alcohols
(Ethanol & Long Chain Hydrocarbons)
High energy density; would need a 15 gallon
๏
tank to match a 10 gallon gas tank
Existing technology and infrastructure is ready
๏
to support it
Generates
๏
pollution as
exhaust from
being burned
Thursday, March 12, 2009
188. Anything else?
General rule of thumb is, the more dense
๏
and complex the fuel, the less you can
create of it
1 Acre
Biodiesel / ??
Electricity
Hydrogen Alcohols
Thursday, March 12, 2009
189. What’s the bottom line on
these different fuels?
Which one is most
practical?
Thursday, March 12, 2009
190. Is hydrogen worth the
investment?
Hydrogen only solves one problem with
๏
batteries (refuel rate), but introduces a
more complex problem of building an
entirely new infrastructure.
Hydrogen is more suitable for low
๏
temperature environments
Thursday, March 12, 2009
191. Can we make enough
alcohol?
Ethanol production might compete with
๏
food production, can we spare the land
and addition water?
Algae might prove to be the holy grail for
๏
generating alcohols
Thursday, March 12, 2009
192. Are batteries good
enough?
Batteries need to reach 5-10 minute
๏
recharges. Right now you might get stuck
at a station in the middle of nowhere for 2
hours.
Densities need to improve to increase
๏
distance and give people back their trunks
Thursday, March 12, 2009
193. My predictions for the future
Manufactures should ramp up
๏
on alcohol powered cars
Alcohol is our natural transition
๏
beyond petroleum. Brazil has
already made the transition.
Electric cars will expand when
๏
battery advances allow for
“roadtrip ready” cars.
