Dream Car in the future



If you look at the title, you may think about your dream car, but in my project that I am not discuss your dream car. I am discussing people’s dream car. That is using solar energy to propel. You may guess that is a solar car. I can tell you “ Yes, you are right!” In the project, I am discussing a solar car.

What is a Solar Car?

A solar car made with the solar cells. That is using solar energy to propel. A solar car does not produce pollutant when it is running. (Image 1) That is a sport solar car that it is running faster. A solar cell is a device that generates electricity directly from light energy. It is necessary to connect a number of cells together from a solar panel. It makes by P or N semiconductor. When the light or sunlight shines to solar cell directly, it can generate electricity immediately. (Image 2)

Advantage
• Running faster than more cars.
• Can generate huge electricity and store the electricity energy.
• No production of pollutant when the device that converts light energy into electrical energy.
• Generate electricity without human operation.
• Can protect environment, decease use petrol or diesel.
• No exhaust emission.

Disadvantage
• The cost very expensive.
• Cannot generate electricity at evening time and encounter a bad weather.
• Cannot pack up 3 or more passengers.
• May not for a long time user.

Issue


Will it destroy the environment?

Actuality, the solar cars will not destroy the environment, because when it generates electricity, it has not produce any pollutant. It is a green technology. If the people use the solar car that can decrease using petrol and diesel, but it costs very expansive and cannot use it for a long time that is a reason the product is not popular in the world.

Do you agree with the solar car replace the petrol and diesel car in the future?

If the solar car replaces the petrol and diesel car in the future, that is good, because the energy is shortage in the world, special is petroleum. We should protect our environment. The petrol and diesel car’s exhaust emissions can destroy the environment. In some country they promote no driving day every mouth. In news you always can read that about exhaust emission. The exhaust emission can make you get a cancer. The solar car had lots of disadvantage now, but if you never build it up that it never has development. At this moment, the solar car cannot completely replace the petrol and diesel car, but we can do plan of inquiry for a project.

Plan of inquiry


I had an ideal about the solar car project. If the project is successful that can make people get a health and can protect environment. First, we create a plan of inquiry about the solar energy and the solar cells. Then we should have promotion for the solar car.

• We should have a capital for the solar energy project.
• Find out how much coat of the solar energy system.
• Using questionnaire ask the residents questions.
• Doing marketing research of the solar energy system.
• Popularize a plan of prize by government.
• Plan of educate the next generation about solar energy and solar cells.
• Promotion for the solar car.

Conclusion


Has it personally relevant to me?

In my opinion, I think it has, because that is green technology. Every one should popularize it in the world. It does not produce the pollutants. I also can increase eco-awareness in my life. We should think about next generation, because the energy is shortage in the world, special is petroleum. Petrol and Diesel made by petroleum. When one-day petroleum is run out, solar energy is very useful. We need transport every day, we cannot go to the other city on foot. If the solar car can popular that is prefect.
