car, concept, energy, Kim Gu-Han, solar The Helios Concept is a
design study of a solar energy-powered off-road sporty vehicle.
The body integrates a system of large photovoltaic panels that
increases the energy charging capacity. It was designed by Kim
Gu-Han from Universität Duisburg-Essen – Germany. The Helios is
an electric off-road vehicle use powered by solar energy. To
increase the surface area of the photovoltaic panels, when not
in motion the upper surface of the car transform into a large
“fan” with four wings to store more energy or to serve as an
energy station. This transformable design was inspired by
natural evolution – some animals have developed a stretchable
skin to absorb more sunlight. Leave a Comment so far Leave a
