Light comes first

then electricity/magnetism

then atoms in minerals

then the building energy of molecules needed for life

then the plant's ability to bind the sun's energy

Do you hear the loud roars in Africa? And the loud bird calls on the Galapagos Islands?

CalSol

The race is over!

The UC Berkeley CalSol Solar Car Team

You can't keep scientists down long! CalSol stayed up all night working on new batteries for the electrical system that was damaged. Thursday they passed both the electrical and dynamic scrutineering tests and entered the race. Their lead acid batteries were safe and their car performed beautifully on the dyanmic tests.

Murphy's Law shadowed their race. However, the team gained much respect by surmounting the predictable and finishing the race. Remember, in any field of scientific endeavor, anything that can go wrong, will.

With a replacement wheel on the car, we sent our drivers back out for the last 2 hours of the race.
