A new solar-powered, self-moving concept car from Ford tracks the sun to maximize charging power:
> It parks itself under a simple structure, 4 meters by 5 meters (about 13 feet > by 16 feet), with a plexiglass lens for a roof. The car picks the north-south > coordinate according to the season of the year, and it adjusts the east-west > location over the course of the day. If the car is in the right spot, the > lens concentrates the sun’s rays by a factor of eight. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/01/05/automobiles/from-ford-a-plug-in-that-tracks-the-sun.html Video - http://video1.nytimes.com/video/2014/01/02/25280_1_ford-solar_wg_16x9_l_3g_mob.mp4 --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
