ISRO Developed A Solar Electric Car — A Perfect Solution To Fuel Crisis
Indian space agency ISRO has developed a solar electric car which produces zero-emission. The car uses a solar panel to charge the batteries.
Electric vehicles are considered as the future of transport. But the emissions are just transferred from the exhaust of the vehicle to the chimneys of the power plant.
The Indian space agency ISRO has come up with a solution for this problem. ISRO has used solar panels to charge the lithium-ion batteries which power the electric motor of the vehicle.
Solar energy is available in abundance, and it is also a non-polluting source of energy. So, ISRO might have just solved a major problem in the electric vehicles.
The technology is developed in-house by ISRO. The electric car is equipped with solar panel, battery and super-capacitor. The technology also uses control electronics for charging of battery and gear set to transmit power to the wheels.
ISRO mounted a high-efficiency solar panel on the roof of the car and used a super-capacitor to meet the demand of high peak current of over 100Ampere. The solar panels charge the batteries.
The batteries power the lightweight brushless electric motor which propels the vehicle. The donor car is a Maruti Omni, and the electrical equipment is placed in the boot of the car.
ISRO has demonstrated the car successfully and working on improving the electric car. ISRO also plans to cut costs by using indigenous Li-ion pouch cells/Fuel cell with super-capacitor.
