Part of the Futuro Solare team is flying to Australia, where the 16th edition of the World Solar Challenge reserved for solar cars will take place from 22 to 29 October.
Among the five people who are currently in the skies between Dubai and Melbourne, there are Team Principal and factotum of the team Enzo Di Bella, Matteo Di Bella, Vincenzo and Alessandro Basile and Dario Ruggeri.
The “forerunners” of the Futuro Solare go to Australia “mission” will have to clear customs for the Archimede 2.0 vehicle, the true protagonist of the entire operation, and organize the planned logistics “on site” which includes the rental of means of transport, hotel accommodation and purchase basic necessities considering that you will have to sleep a few nights in the middle of the desert; as well as obviously the various problems that inexorably arise in a project of this kind.
Among them, Electric Motor News will be present as Media Partner with Dario Ruggeri, who will be in charge of documenting the different moments of the adventure to offer the best possible information of the only team representing Italy in what is considered by all as the most important race in the world reserved for solar cars.
Syracuse, land of Archimedes and also of Archimedes 2.0
The scientific research association Futuro Solare Olus was born in 2006 thanks to the support of many innovators, students and teachers to share research and results in the scientific sector and particularly in the sector of eco-sustainable mobility through innovative energy systems applied to automotive a “low cost” philosophy using, where possible, materials from recycling or non-carbon sources.
The project actively involves young university and high school students from local technical institutes.
Thus approximately 2300 years after the birth of the mathematician, physicist and inventor Archimedes of Syracuse (born approximately 287 BC), Futuro Solare brings the Archimede 2.0 solar car to the World Solar Challenge, an evolution of Archimede which has already competed in several international competitions reserved for solar cars… obviously it was also born in Syracuse.
