• Wind powered M6 Speedster

    Wind energy powering cars isn’t strange anymore. This three wheeler car that somewhat resembles a boat and a plane does just that. It is powered by wind energy. The car, known as the M6 Speedster uses carbon composite body parts similar to that used in F1 cars, rudders and wings similar to that used in F1 cars. The car also has a direct
    current motor that converts small wind into momentum. The car is said to be solely powered by wind energy. The car uses its rudder and wings as sails. This allows the car to rocket up to speeds of 120 miles an hour! Since it is powered only by wind energy and does not need the process of burning fuel to create energy, this car has zero emissions and is clean in its act. The downside of this car however, is the extremely thick tires. Thick tires cause friction which reduces the actual speed this car can gain. Most speedsters use skinnier wheels to reduce friction. This design may have some shortcomings, and on overcoming them, is sure to blow your mind away!
