| The great inventor Galileo then, and today, teams of mathematicians have been calculating the best curvature for capturing and concentrating light beams. Just in the last two years, due to the energy crisis and global climate change, millions of dollars have been spent in looking for the best curve for solar power gathering, since there is approximately 1KW of energy in every square meter of sunlight. However, the accidental discovery of "Marek's Curve" (named after this young lad, who made the only solar car that worked in the full shade) was made at Sustainarama! His car ran at a good speed using only reflected sunlight. In comparison, all the other solar cars required direct sunlight. What a discovery! It may even top the Stirling engine! |
