This book provides an introduction to all aspects of designing, manufacturing, and racing solar cars. Understanding the 'big picture' will help members of solar race car teams make design and manufacturing trade-offs to stay on schedule and allow time to test and practice racing the car. Based on the author's experiences designing and building five solar cars over the last ten years, this book focuses on the important aspects of designing a competitive solar car, including developing a racing strategy, efficient solar car driving, project management, and designing the specific subsystems of the car.
Great book. Although I am not an engineer, the formulas are helpful for understanding the concepts. Engineers may find the formulas very useful. Good insight from the author's years of building solar cars with students and seeing them try to make the same mistakes over and over. I would like to see the author update with 2009 solar car design information, photos, and more detailed drawings of his school's Solar Miner.
