Members of the ASU Solar Devils club will be involved in a competition for cars powered by the sun that have been built by students. As many as 12 students will be making the trip to the event, including four to drive the car and others to help make any needed repairs. The car made by the club’s students will have more about 250 solar cells for charging the vehicle’s batteries. The team will also be installing brake lights, a horn and a radio for communications. The team includes not only automotive engineering students but those in civil engineering, biomedical engineering and even business majors. The challenge isn’t speed-based, says Fulton Schools mechanical engineering student Boris Gershkovich, but more about the sustainability of the vehicle.
