 Early Innovative Solutions

There are 4 earlier innovative plans for this problem. Model A is a hybrid car with three power sources which is internal combustion engine, solar and electric. But there is 2 major problems. Firstly, the engine plan was not sufficient enough. Secondly, the design of the car was not suitable for the ideas to install three sources of power supply. Model B is a special design of solar car. At one side it has an upwardly sliding and double- layered. The external door was a solar door while the internal door was an ordinary door. But our team felt that the car will not have a balance weight and not practical for family use because the solar power generated is not even sufficient  to carry one passenger. Model C is powered by the rechargeable battery and the batteries  are easily interchange with a charged one. Model D was a hybrid car too, it has a solar panel which  converts solar energy  to electrical energy, and the most interesting part was a mini-hydro-electric power station. This plan  was also rejected because the mini-hydro-electric power station is actually reducing the energy level. After all the discussion of  the 4 plans saw that we need to do a lots of research and study on how car engine work and energy can be conserved. After spending more time on researching and reading , our team member- Tharanitharan came out with Model E and Model F (our final solution)...
