• Renewable energy powered remote controlled toy cars

  • Racer.jpgWe’ve probably been racing cars right since our childhood, remote controlled ones at least, if not for real. Those little cars that juiced up using batteries, draining out a few every time used, are now in for a change and a green one that too. Remote controlled racecars go environment friendly, using renewable energy sources to power up! The cars power up using a tiny windmill, a solar panel and a fuel cell. Using wind and solar energy, the cars can race around for a good 20 minutes after charging for 10 to 30 minutes. With the hydrogen cells on the other hand, the cars power up for a good 5 minutes after charging for around 3 minutes.


    The remote has controls for left/right, forward and reverse, and can also be used to charge these cars in a minute when renewable energy sources are unavailable. Besides just being some pretty cool toys to play with, these racecars also portray just how efficient renewable energy sources can really be to power up our lives.
