SOLAR Powered Passenger Car - Ford CMAX Solar Energi Hybrid Concept
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/Fc2rZC4vSqQ  3 min

Can you imagine a car that powers itself just by sitting in the sun? Well, that day may have arrived. This Ford CMAX Solar Energi Hybrid Concept by FORD is an electric car that charges it's batteries via solar panels on the roof. 

Because those panels by themselves are not enough to recharge the batteries if the car is used on a daily basis, it uses fresnel concentrator lenses that are built into the car port structure that is designed to go with the vehicle. 





CAN A CAR CARRY AROUND IT'S OWN SOLAR CHARGING SYSTEM?


As the vehicle sits under the car port, the sun shines on the lenses. The very low cost lenses then concentrate the sunlight and multiply the power available on the more expensive solar cells built into the roof of the car. The car automatically adjusts its position so that it stays under the lenses. The end result is a car that is powered 100% by the sun, without any need to plug in for recharging.

Of course, this same scenario would work for any vehicle. It would also work for any solar panel anywhere. Cheap mirrors and/or fresnel lenses can concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, reducing their cost, while improving their efficiency.

MISSING LINK IN ENERGY GRID IS EV VEHICLES THAT ARE PLUGGED INTO IT, VIA SMART TECHNOLOGY



THE MISSING LINK IN A ZERO CARBON ENERGY GRID IS EVS
APRIL 15, 2017 A GREEN ROAD PROJECT
Since the start of the industrial revolution, humans have released hundreds of billions of tons of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, acidifying oceans, increasing the frequency of extreme weather events, raising sea levels with the worst effects yet to come. The general consensus gleaned from the Paris Climate Summit in 2015 is that in order to halt the relentless march of climate change and its forecasted catastrophic consequences, one step we need to take is to transform our fossil fuel based economy to one powered by zero-emission renewable energy.

The good news is that investments in solar and wind generation have become competitive and in many cases cheaper and more profitable than similar investments in fossil fuels. The graphs below shows how solar and wind installations in the US have beaten fossil fuel installations for the past 3 years.

PLUG AN ELECTRIC CAR WITH BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM, AND IT CAN BECOME A GRID STORAGE DEVICE AND MAKE MONEY BY RUNNING METER BACKWARDS


If the car is plugged in and not used for a week or longer, this setup has the capacity to send power into the grid, while also acting as a grid energy storage device. This may be the first vehicle that can actually make money for the owner via energy sales to the grid, while just sitting there.

Who wouldn't like to own or lease a vehicle that actually creates energy and makes a person money, while just sitting in the sun? 

Sonoma Clean Power has a 'smart charger' that the utility company can control and use to regulate the grid, via taking out power from a EV plugged into the grid, or charging it at lowest cost, highest renewable energy available times of day. 


NEW EV CHARGING TECHNOLOGY ENABLES UTILITIES TO MEET CURRENT AND FUTURE EV CHARGING DEMAND WITH SMART-GRID ENABLED CHARGING STATIONS AND MAXIMIZE USE OF MORE SOLAR AND WIND POWER

New EV charging technology enables utilities to meet current and future EV charging demand with smart-grid enabled charging stations and maximize use of more solar and wind power

Recognizing the need to support rapidly growing electrical demand for electric vehicles (EV), Sonoma Clean Power (SCP) has partnered with award-winning eMotorWerks to provide up to 1,000 free smart charging units to SCP customers while program funds last. eMotorWerks is a leading provider of cloud-connected, EV charging solutions that provide intelligent control that allows customers to automatically take advantage of lower energy pricing. For utilities, the eMotorWerks technology assists them in managing EV demand and integrating more renewable energy into the electrical mix, all while maintaining grid stability. SCP customers may choose free of charge, between eMotorWerks’ best-selling JuiceBox Procharger or a JuicePlug EVSE adapter that converts existing, basic residential charging stations, into smart charging units. Additionally, participants can receive $250 for joining SCP’s smart-grid charging rewards program.

“Today we have around 3,800 EVs in Sonoma County and anticipate 10,000 in the next three years,” said Geof Syphers, CEO of Sonoma Clean Power. “Our partnership with eMotorWerks allows us to intelligently incorporate and communicate with these EVs on our grid. Given the continuing increase in local renewable energy resources, and the growth of EV charging, we see the opportunity to leverage the eMotorWerks technology to anticipate and modulate electrical demand to meet all of our customer’s needs as critical to reliability and scalability of our services.“

The eMotorWerks technology is focused on internet-enabled Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) products that are remotely connected to JuiceNet, a patented, cloud-based communication, control, and intelligence platform that dynamically matches users’ historical charging patterns, real-time input, and signals from grid operators and utilities to increase grid flexibility to meet EV charging demand, as well as maximize the use of renewable power.

“Our leading smart charging technology is the perfect solution for Sonoma Clean Power’s needs. By taking into account EV owners’ historical charging patterns and charging configurations, that take advantage of lower-cost, off-peak electricity pricing, SCP can meet growing consumer demand for EV charging, while at the same time maintain a reliable and stable grid experience for everyone,” said Val Miftakhov, Founder & CEO of eMotorWerks. “While customers might not notice these subtle variations in charge speed, they can go a long way to making EV charging more manageable for utilities, and less expensive for customers. We are thrilled to see the eMotorWerks technology play a key role in helping Sonoma County reach its goal of being a 100 percent renewable county.”

In addition, SCP customers can participate in the JuiceNet Rewards Program. JuiceNet Rewards provides cash back to participating EV drivers to avoid charging at times when energy demand and procurement costs are high, and shift to times when renewables are in abundance. The rewards program works by keeping an EV plugged into the charger, and allowing eMotorWerks to regulate the amount of charge to match the cleanest power on the grid. This earns the EV owner JuicePoints, while ensuring their car is at maximum charge by the time they need to use it. By conserving grid energy at these critical moments, eMotorWerks reduces grid demand when fossil fuel generated power is more likely to be used. The savings seen from grid operators are shared with eMotorWerks which are in turn shared with the EV owner.

THIS SOLAR CAR CHARGES IN 10 HOURS SITTING IN SUN, WILL THEN DRIVE 500 KM, NO FRESNEL LENS NEEDED, BUILT BY STUDENTS

"Practical" solar car hits the road in Sydney

The car above was built by students, and they claim that this vehicle is so well engineered and efficient, that it can charge itself up just by sitting in the sun for 10 hours, from a complete depletion of the battery. It can then drive 500 km on a full charge.

Imagine driving this car to work, and using maybe 5% to 10% of the total charge. It then sits in the sun and recharges completely in a matter of an hour or two, just sitting there. So even in cloudy weather, it would never lose it's charge and never need to be plugged in for the average commuter who travels only 20 km one way to work. If the vehicle is plugged in at work or home, it will actually serve as a way to make money by using the battery as both a grid energy storage device, and also as a way to run an electric meter backwards. Imagine millions of these cars plugged into the grid at any given time, with a portion of that electricity available to smooth out the peak use, highest cost periods.

IMAGINE A SOLAR CAR BEING CHARGED BY A BEDINI MOTOR, 24 HOURS PER DAY, VIA ZERO POINT ENERGY THAT CAN NEVER BE EXHAUSTED OR RUN OUT

Free energy exists all around us. Solar, wind, geothermal, tides, waves and more are all 'free' energy. Research into more free energy that is all around us, is presented in this video and links.

Feel free to explore the concept of more and different kinds of free energy and then experiment with that concept in mind. Combining things in new combinations is the hallmark of an inventor or entrepreneur. Imagine a vehicle that charges itself as it drives, via the sun and possibly via the Bedini motor or other kind of zero point energy device.

GRAPHENE BREAKTHROUGH MAY MEAN FUELING VEHICLES FROM THE AIR AND CARS FUELED BY HYDROGEN GAS MADE FROM FREE SOLAR ENERGY


Graphene breakthrough could make it possible to fuel your car with air
http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/stories/graphene-breakthrough-could-make-it-possible-to-fuel-your

Imagine a car running on hydrogen, via a fuel cell. The fuel cell collects and stores hydrogen fuel via the solar cells built into the skin of the car. Electricity gathered by the car's solar cells are used to split water into hydrogen. The oxygen is released.

The collected hydrogen gas is then stored and used as needed later on, to fuel the engine, or to power a fuel cell that powers electric motors. The hydrogen powered engine or fuel cell is used to move the car when the batteries are not enough to take the vehicle where it needs to go on long trips or when it is rainy or stormy outside. 

SUMMARY

There are those people who look forward into enlightenment and greater awareness, and then there are those who look backwards, into ignorance, denial, plus lots of conspiracy theories. 


Humanity is evolving and life changes constantly. Just because all vehicles are powered by fossil fuels today, does not mean that they always will be. Horses and buggies were gone within 10 years, after the introduction of the first Ford car.

New BOTTOM UP energy and transportation systems that are much more sustainable are being birthed, while at the same time, dirty, toxic and polluting 1 percent controlled TOP DOWN energy and transportation systems are dying or disappearing fast.

The electrical grid and transportation vehicles are at the beginning edge of a huge transformation.  Do what you can to help this process along, while moving away from those things that no longer serve the needs of humanity such as carbon fuels, nuclear fuels and chemicals. Lease or buy an electric or plug in hybrid vehicle for at least one out of two family or business vehicles. 

Think about the impact of your decisions, investments and business on 7 future generations and consider if it will harm them, before making that decision or investment. Help make the solutions happen, with every thought, emotion and deed.
