This exciting primer on Solar Racing literally starts from the
ground up, describing how the interactions of a vehicle with its
environment circumscribe its ultimate success, from aerodynamics to
resistance and propulsion. By demonstrating how to mathematically
model these underlying physical phenomena, the author helps solar
racing competitors carefully select key characteristics of the
vehicle, such as weight and shape, to produce optimal speed. Energy
conversion and demand are given particular attention, followed by
chapters devoted to examining solar racers' design, manufacture and
testing using a structured problem-solving process to keep projects
on track and on schedule. A chapter devoted to energy management
strategies provides invaluable tips on maximizing average speed
during a race. Complex issues such as ventilation system analysis
and performance simulation are covered in dedicated appendices. The
financial aspect of project design is not neglected, as both
fund-raising and cost estimation are given in-depth consideration.
