How To Build a Solar Powered Car for Your Kids
Here’s a little tricky experiment that you can do on your own at home. It’s very simple to do, all you have to have is a solar battery (you can buy that cheaply from a scrap store), a bottle, a toy with wheels you don’t need anymore, and a little bit of super glue. It runs completely on solar power. Starting from this guy’s idea, I’ll try to improvise a method to recharge my remote controlled toy car from the sun (all big kids must have a RC toy handy, don’t they?)
So, watch the video and start teaching your kid little things. In time, they’ll become bigger and hopefully, if done on a larger scale, save our planet.
Enjoy!

Hey, thanks for the tips on how to make it but what is the white plastic you put the motor in? Can I find that in any R/C car?

I think you should buid a car (for adults)that runs completly like a wind0up toy,the only difference would be that you could control the wind-up key.

Yo Yo Yo! hold the phone, this is cool alright but the only problem is that you cant turn that thing and it cant save the solar energy it just ate up and put it to waste.Now if you want a real car check out ma site in which you can know more about auto mobilos
