Solar car zooms to a record in Australia
A car with a power output equal to a household hair dryer has broken the world record for the fastest solar- powered perth - Sydney trip.
The futuristic-looking vehicle, using just 1.8 Kilowatts of power, rolled into Sydney having traveled from coast in five days.
The University of NSW’s Solar Racing Team almost halved the previous record set in 1994.
Cruising between 70 and 90km/h, the Jaycar Sunswift III used nothing but solar power on the 4000 km journey.
