i had an idea once for a car to run on solar power...like the hood of the car would be a solar panel and as it sits in the sun it would power up, of course while you were driving and the sun were shining you would have unlimited power...someone told me it wouldn't work because it would take too many batteries to store the energy for a rainy/cloudy day and there wouldn't be enough room for the engine...but i still don't see how it wouldn't work on some level
anyone have any thoughts?
