Hello again,
Sorry that we’ve sort of dropped off the planet for a bit. But we’re back.. And to get things started,please re-read the post that really started this blog. It all happened when partner and I moved to Berkeley and we realized,‘wow,these people are weird.’. So to understand Berkeley,just wrap your head around this post that defines this blog:
The Pride of Berkeley... the Wind Powered Car
Thank you for your interest in Berkeley’s Wind Powered Car.
In Berkeley,California we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of many social and political discussions. We believe in using our unified voice to demand social change whether we are fighting against global warming,wars for oil or the destruction of our environment in the name of progress,we are leading the charge to make the world a better place for all.
About the Wind Powered Car.
Invented by students at the University of Berkeley,The Wind-Powered Car is at the forefront of the environmental and energy revolution. The car,powered only by wind,is able to get from point A to point B on a windy day. While the car still requires some fine tuning before it is accepted for mass production,it remains a viable alternative to oil guzzling behemoths on the road today.
Some of the issues we are trying to solve:
1) Days with no wind
At this point we are looking at several alternatives to the wind-less days problem. One suggestion is to add pedals to the vehicle. Another suggestion is to include a compartment to hold 4 pairs of rollerskates. For now we are maintaining a close distance to public transportation whenever we take the WPC for a ride.
2) Won’t this destroy our oil based economy
We sincerely hope so.
3) Couldn’t this jam up roadways and freeways should wind all of a sudden stop?
See item 1) Days with no Wind.
We are in need of additional funding for this project and we are looking for venture capitalists intent on saving our planet! Please contact BerkeleyPC if you’d like to discuss a partnership.
