Future Cars : High Efficiency Cells Cost Solar Car
Some of the techniques and design for future cars features used in the laboratory fabrication of silicon solar cells, to produce the highest possible efficiencies include: * lightly phosphorus diffused emitters, to minimise recombination losses and avoid the existence of a "dead layer" at the cell surface; * closely spaced metal lines, to minimise emitter lateral resistive power losses; * very fine metal lines, typically less than 20 µm wide, to minimise shading losses; * polished or lapped surfaces to allow top metal grid patterning via photolithography; * small area devices and good metal conductivities, to minimise resistive losses in the metal grid; * low metal contact areas and heavy doping at the surface of the silicon beneath the metal contact to minimise recombination; * use of elaborate metallization schemes, such as titanium/palladium/silver, that give very low contact resistances; * good rear surface passivation, to reduce recombination; * use of anti-reflection coatings, which can reduce surface reflection from 30% to well below 10%. A number of cell designs exist which incorporate advanced laboratory features. Two approaches that have been used by niche markets such as solar cars are the PERL cells produced at University of New South Wales, and the rear-contact cells developed at Stanford University and SunPower.

Audi RSQ Robotic Concept Car
Audi and I Robot The futuristic film car Audi RSQ was presented to the public for the first time on April 7, 2004 at the New York International Automobile Show. Audi tackles its most ambitious product placement project ever: For the epic event motion picture „I, ROBOT“, Audi Design developed the spectacular vehicle, which helps leading actor Will Smith – a homicide detective in the year 2035 – solve a mystery that could have grave consequences for the human race. Fox releases “I, ROBOT“ in the U.S. on July 16; the film arrives in Germany in August.
Future Cars : Cool Amphibious Vehicles
Driving your future cars on your local river may seem unnecessary, unless you want to avoid your usual traffic jams, or to take out your girlfriend on a river cruise with a backseat. This cool amphibious car is likely to be one of the masterpieces of a sci-fi movie. It has a cool futuristic design that can leave you wondering about which cartoon show you saw this one in.
