Camper Stella Vita: Traveling with solar energy

Solor is a volcanic island found off the eastern idea of Flores island in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, in the Solor Island chain. The island supports a little populace that has been whaling for centuries. They talk the languages of Adonara and also Lamaholot. There go to least 5 volcanoes on this island which determines only 40 kilometres (25 miles) by 6 kilometres (3.7 miles). The island s area is 226.34 square kilometres (87 square miles), and also it had a populace of 34,029 at the 2020 Census.

Solar systems for motorhomes are not a groundbreaking novelty anymore. Students of the Technical University of Eindhoven are now still gone on: their electro-camper Stella Vita is already due to its futuristic-aerodynamic form. The true peculiarity, however, is a large-scale solar roof that not only supplies energy for hot water preparation, coffee maker or board TV, but also to drive.

17.5 square meters of solar area

8.8 square meters measures the photovoltaic surface on the main of the egg-shaped camper. And that s not enough: in the stand can be unfolded on both sides wings with additional solar panels, they enlarge the recording level on stately 17.5 square meters - and simultaneously meet the practical function of a canopy.

Under optimal conditions, the 7.2-meter long and 1.7 tonnes of heavy Stella Vita will achieve a range of up to 730 kilometers. Not quite clear is still how much of it go on account of solar energy. However, the students have communicated that a 60 kWh battery serves as a power store and that the energy-skinned motorhome drives a maximum of 120 km / h quickly.

Also unusual are the opposing portal doors, over which the living area can be entered, which also offers a comfortable standing height - because the tent roof can be raised on the parking space.

You can not buy the Solar Camper, it is a prototype. He is still allowed to go to the street, because in the context of a 24,000-kilometer travel from Eindhoven to Southern Spain, the practicality should be tested and demonstrated.

Experience in the competition

The Stella Vita is not the first project of the Dutch Solar Team: With various vehicles, the competition of the World Solar Challenge has already won several times. A motorhome has not been underneath so far.

Havelse must refrain from Henschel for months

As the TSV Havelse announced on Tuesday , the team of coach Rüdiger Zehl will have to give up Erik Henschel for a long time on Erik Henschel for a long time. The defensive specialist, which was changed from the HSC Hannover to Garbsen in February, suffered a cruciate ligament tear in the test match against Hannover 96 shortly after his inhibition. How long does the current final light of the 3rd league have to do without the 25-year-old services, is not yet fixed. Finally, the TSV seemed to have overcome the start of the season with seven defeats in a bit. But the intermediate high of the climber with three unbeaten games in series, which brought the havelers all of their seven points, was stopped by the 0: 6 bankruptcy against Kaiserslautern. The team of the leash will continue to have a hard time and must fight for every point - until further without Henschel.

Company brings bang-oranges PC

Computers always look gray and drag? A company now shows that it goes differently and presents a housing in bright colors, which is composed of yourself like a kit. A YouTuber has tried the case. That's why it's time: Gray, black or even blacker. Computer housing have the call to offer little for the human eye. Often, the inner life such as graphics card or fans is flashing like a billboard. A housing, which is flashing or at least colored, get rarely to face. Even rarer you can currently see only graphics cards at an affordable price. But now a manufacturer shows that it works differently. Thus, Teenage Engineering presented the housing Computer-1, which appears in bright orange and thus rather reminiscent of a construction site or warning signs than a gaming PC. The YouTube channel Hardware Canucks tried the case and visually impressed. Although the price of just under 190 euros appears high, but you get a high-quality case for its money, even if the assembly allows ...
