Solar Powered Quadricycle!

The first test run of a solar powered quadricycle. The quadricycle was built by Charles Oravec, Lab Supervisor & Electronics Tech for the Occidental College Physics Department and Awot Ghirmai. It has four car batteries, which are charged using a solar panel. It is driven by two electronic motors, one in each front wheel. Also present at the testing were: Jean-Luc Gauvreau, Post-Doctoral Fellow and Steve Sadler, a PhD student at the University of Sheffield, UK. The bike was created as a summer exercise.
