SYSTEM
As a hybrid car, it is driven by the alternative energy sources such as solar heat
and hybrogen. At the same time, it can originate the electronic power from the turning
force of the wheels. So the driving it self becomes the activity of gathering energy.
That is the system of future environmentally friendly car, ‘SAKU’
HOW TO CHARGE
As SAKU's pair of rear wheel rotates (powered from its roof top solar module),
it cause some movement to the attachment body and its wheels. The wheels of the
attachment are designed to function as power generators while the main body works
as power storage tank.
