Hello,
I wanted to touch base on my solar electric car/bike. The project is complete. The project theme was to build a solar car/bike from as many used materials as possible.
Last week I entered it in the Benton County Tn. Science and Engineering Fair and won.
I am scheduled to enter the West Tn Regional Science and Engineering Fair in March. Another win there allows me to attend the National Finals in Atlanta GA. Pictures can be seen on my web site www.solarcarscience.com
Thanks to everyone who offered advice.
Jesse

    Re: Solar Car/Bike

    Thanks for the kind words. You can not imagine how many hours I have in this project. I spent two+ years in research and development just getting ready to build this car/bike. I had planned to have it completed in the fall of 2006 and enter it last winter in the science fairs but I had a heart illness that but me out of service for about 6 months or so. It was all I could do to keep my grades up in school much less work on the car. I still managed to finish in the top 10 of my graduating class. I am looking at going into either engineering or law when I start college in the fall.
    Thanks again
