World Solar Challenge

トイファクトリースタッフブログ-トイファクトリー バーデン

       In friendly competition with others attempting the same goals,

     the teams depart Darwin aiming to be the first to arrive in Adelaide,  

     some 3000km to the south.

     It’s all about energy management! Based on the original notion that a

     1000W car would complete the journey in 50 hours, solar cars are

     allowed a nominal 5kW hours of stored energy, which is 10% of that

     theoretical figure. All other energy must come from the sun or be

      recovered from the kinetic energy of the vehicle.

     These are arguably the most efficient electric vehicles.

     

     The Adventure

    

     Having made the journey from Darwin and successfully navigating    

     quarantine, customs, scrutineering, safety inspections and undertaken

     event briefings, participants are ready to start their epic journey.

     The event is conducted in a single stage from Darwin to Adelaide.

     Once the teams have left Darwin they must travel as far as they can

     until 5pm in the afternoon where they make camp in the desert where-ever

     they happen to be.

 

     All teams must be fully self-sufficient!

     During the journey there are 7 mandatory check points where observers

     are changed and team managers may update themselves with the latest

     information on the weather and their own position in the field. Here teams

     may perform the most basic of maintenance only – checking a  

     maintenance of tyre pressure and cleaning of debris from the vehicle.

     

     There are also undisclosed check points which may be imposed by the

     event officials to ensure regulatory compliance.
