A Solar Car Primer: A Guide to the Design and Construction of Solar-Powered Racing Vehicles

This exciting primer on Solar Racing literally starts from the ground up, describing how the interactions of a vehicle with its environment circumscribe its ultimate success, from aerodynamics to resistance and propulsion. By demonstrating how to mathematically model these underlying physical phenom...
