The student has created a machine on wind and solar energy
Shogun Oeil, student Obagemi Awolowo University from Nigeria, was able to collect the parts car that can run on wind energy and solar energy. To build your car student spent nearly a year. He took an old Volkswagen beetle, most of the spare parts received from relatives and friends, and all that could not get on their own, had to buy. All together cost less than 6 thousand dollars.
He wrote in Co.Exist:
I want to reduce the amount of emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, as these emissions cause changes in the climatic environment and global warming. At the moment it is already possible to observe the effects: the disturbances in cyclicity of the seasons; the water and everything that grows, so are exposed to malicious influence. For this reason, I decided to run the car that will run on environmentally friendly energy. I can see and understand the problem and want to solve it.
Shogun not only has mounted a solar panel on the roof. This good enough all over the world. Remember, though, the race for solar cars in Australia. He also built the wind generator. When the vehicle is in motion, the turbine begins to spin and recharges the battery located in the Luggage compartment. In addition to the "Beetle" was given a new suspension, he was able to move normally with all that it was loaded.
The car is not yet perfect. For example, the battery requires 5 hours to charge, but the student is working on this. Also problematic to find the optimal materials. And many believe that it is in vain wasting their time.
The latter is not embarrassing for a young specialist. Not so long ago he defended a diploma and no plans to stop work on their own project.
