In order to get the most out of our electrical vehicle a sertain amount of components are bought. However some parts have to be made in the labs...
Interesting. I didn't know that about the Blackbird! With our vehicle we can store all the energy we want as long as that energy is only generated...
During the event, which is between vehicles, we always talk about the efficiency of the vehicle and not just about a single component on the...
When i talk about more than 100% efficiency i mean the windspeed compared to the vehicle speed. This however is possible! (So i am not talking...
Thank you. We actually had some contact with the DDWFTTW Blackbird earlier this year. I am very excited by there ambitions to try it upwind as...
A 2-bladed turbine is not always more efficient (At least depending on its purpose). It completely depends on the aerodynamic shape of the blade...
