Eco Factor: Zero-emission electric vehicle designed to run on renewable energy.
Renewable energy company EarthSure has announced that the company is planning to build an electric vehicle that will harness solar and wind energy to fuel its battery bank. Dubbed AirRay, the patent pending design will be equipped with a solar roof and four wind turbines to provide all necessary electricity to keep the batteries charged up.
AirRay’s entire system is unique, as the roof of the car carries a solar honeycomb membrane panel which collects the sun’s rays when parked or moving and transfers the collected energy to the main storage system of the vehicle.
The car is also equipped with three wind turbines on the front hood and an additional wind turbine in the trunk of the car that grasps at the airflow that surrounds the car when driving. The company has incorporated the vehicle with Vehicle-to-Grid capabilities that will enable the users to transfer renewable energy back into their homes for use in their household, and can also transfer electricity back to the grid to lower their bills.
