What's Next: the Nuna 5

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

You’re looking at the Nuna 5, a solar-powered race car weighing a scant 352 pounds. The car was build by the Nuon Solar Team, which has won the World Solar Challenge four years running. The Nuna 4, weighing 418 pounds, won last year’s 1,800 mile race across the Australian desert in 33 hours at an average speed of 56.46 mph. It will be cool to see what this new one can do. Via Wired

That looks to me like an axe head resting on it’s side.

One could stick that thing on a house and power the whole house solar.

As much as I’m for EV’s and technological advances, I see little merit in driving a 3-wheeled table saw rig.
