Wind Shark

# Wind Shark This wind-powered vehicle propels itself forward using the force of the air. The car's design was inspired by jet engines, featuring a two-turbine system and three wheels instead of four. This concept design is still a work in progress and not yet perfect. Many people are focused on harnessing solar energy for vehicles, but few have considered using wind power to fuel the next generation of transportation. The tail of this vehicle has a movable fin connected to a stepping motor that detects wind direction and adjusts the car's position to maximize both power generation and forward momentum. To steer the car, two separate motors attached to an i micro computer (Raspberry Pi) control the right and left front wheels, providing more or less power as needed. This design eliminates messy external wiring, with all parts featuring built-in channeling that keeps the wiring safely concealed.
