GreatJun 23, 2009
By Michael
Great book. Although I am not an engineer, the formulas are helpful for understanding the concepts. Engineers may find the formulas very useful. Good insight from the author's years of building solar cars with students and seeing them try to make the same mistakes over and over. I would like to see the author update with 2009 solar car design information, photos, and more detailed drawings of his school's Solar Miner.
