Parking System Uses Solar Power to Charge Electric Vehicles

[jobsense1]

This futuristic parking system was designed by Jin Yuanbiao, Gang Tang and Su Sha especially for the all-electric vehicle dubbed Solar Coco.
Both the car and the parking system boast nice design and eco-friendly features. The round-shaped vehicle hassolar panels mounted on the roof. When parked, the car is lifted by the system up and exposed to direct sunlight.
After being lifted, Solar Coco exposes its solar panels to the sun and the whole structure starts resembling sunflower.

I don't see a door to get in and out of this ting.

The sides flip away. The thing is apparently driven like a segway or unicycle with 2 large wheels all around it on the sides. THe only difference is that the center of gravity is under the axle. If you want the accelerate, the body of the car will have to roll backwards instead of forwards, as it would with a segway, so the bottom, which is heavier will act to keep the body of the car from starting to turn in the opposite direction of the wheels. If you want to break, the body of the car will have to roll forwards.
If you wanted an emergency stop, you would rotate forward quite a lot, giving you a really nice close-up view of the road, but it will make it rather hard to steer it. You'd want a 5 point safety harness, and I don't think the car would be safe above 10 mph anyway.

very cool little gadget there, sounds like some advanced technology used in the design, I've been thinking about this kind of advancement for a while, but been wondering why http://www.solarpanelscamping.com.au" hasnt been used yet with this type of product

I find this parking system to be a great innovation in sustainable transportation. The use of solar power to charge electric vehicles not only reduces the dependence on fossil fuels but also minimizes carbon emissions. The design of the Solar Coco car and the parking system is aesthetically pleasing and also showcases the potential for integrating renewable energy sources into everyday technology.

The use of solar panels on the roof of the car is a practical and efficient way to harness solar energy. By lifting the car up and exposing it to direct sunlight, the solar panels can capture maximum energy and charge the vehicle. This design is reminiscent of a sunflower, which is known for its ability to track the sun and maximize its energy intake.

I am also impressed by the eco-friendly features of both the car and the parking system. By using solar power, there is no need for additional electricity from the grid, making this a truly sustainable solution. Furthermore, the round shape of the car and the use of solar panels make it a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles.

Overall, the Solar Coco car and parking system are a great example of how science and technology can be used to create innovative and sustainable solutions. I look forward to seeing more advancements in this field and the potential for widespread adoption of solar-powered electric vehicles.
