Deep Orange 17 нэртэй энэхүү прототип нь хөдөлгөөний үед нарны эрчим хүчийг ашиглан өөрийн зарцуулж буй эрчим хүчнээс илүүг үйлдвэрлэх чадвартай юм.
Өмнөд Каролина мужийн Clemson их сургуулийн төгсөх курсийн оюутнууд BMW компанийн судалгаа, хөгжүүлэлтийн багтай хамтран Deep Orange 17 цахилгаан автомашиныг бүтээжээ. 2024 оны намар эхэлсэн энэхүү төслийн хүрээнд автомашиныг ашиглалтын явцад зарцуулж буй эрчим хүчнээсээ илүүг үйлдвэрлэх боломжтой болгох зорилтыг дэвшүүлсэн байна.
Уг автомашины гадна талыг 1700 гаруй фотоволтайк эсээр бүрхсэн нь зогсоолын болон хөдөлгөөний үед нарны эрчим хүчийг тасралтгүй хуримтлуулах боломжийг бүрдүүлжээ. Энэхүү шийдэл нь цахилгаан автомашиныг цэнэглэх дэд бүтцээс хамааралтай байдлыг бууруулах зорилготой юм.
BMW-ийн Судалгаа болон шинэ технологийн төслийн менежер Стефан Аугустин хоёр жилийн турш үргэлжилсэн энэхүү техникийн сорилттой төсөл амжилттай хэрэгжиж, эрчим хүч үйлдвэрлэх эерэг үзүүлэлттэй автомашин бүтээгдсэнийг онцолсон байна. Энэхүү туршилт нь ирээдүйн автомашины хөгжлийн чиг хандлагыг тодорхойлоход чухал ач холбогдолтой юм.

These college students from South Carolina have built a solar electric car for BMW that generates more energy than it uses.
In this eco-conscious age, more and more people are on the lookout for cars that are energy efficient.
Clemson University has delivered with Deep Orange 17, a solar-integrated vehicle prototype.
Developed in collaboration with BMW’s research and development team, the car offers up an exciting prospect of what the future of cars could look like.
Solar-powered cars are increasingly popular
With climate change constantly on the lips of politicians and scientists alike, it’s no wonder that the automotive industry has cottoned on to the need to go green.
And perhaps nothing better represents the eco-movement than the trusty solar panel.
We’ve seen more and more cars donning them in recent years.
One man constructed one that was capable of travelling 18 miles without using up any of the battery power.
In the view of the CEO of Aptera, solar-powered EVs represent the future of driving.
And then there’s solar paint, courtesy of the Mercedes-Benz Vision Iconic concept car.
Sun power is the wave of the future, it would seem.
Joining the chorus of solar cars is the Deep Orange 17, a labor of love between one South Dakota college and BMW.
These college students have created a solar electric car for BMW
Back in the fall of 2024, BMW presented the graduate students of Deep Orange 17 with a challenging question – could a vehicle generate more energy than it consumes while driving?
The students designed the car so that it would capture sunlight while in motion, allowing for a continuous source of energy generation during everyday use.
The hope is that the car would reduce the dependence on charging infrastructure.
“This is a project we’ve wanted to pursue for years, so it’s incredibly rewarding to see this group of students come together over the last two years, overcome so many technical challenges and constraints, and bring an energy-positive vehicle to life,” Stephan Augustin, Project Manager of Research and New Technologies at BMW, said.
More than 1,700 photovoltaic cells cover the vehicle’s exterior surfaces, giving ample opportunity for energy harvesting while in motion and while parked.
