Tokai University's Solar Car Team Supported by Panasonic Wins the World Solar Challenge 2011: http://news.panasonic.net/archives/20... Panasonic also provided cylindrical 18650-type high-capacity lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. These high-capacity, long-enduring, and lightweight batteries utilize Panasonic's proprietary nickel-based positive electrodes and have the highest level of energy density in the industry. They can operate for long periods of time and can be linked in lightweight battery pack arrays. Tokai University team's winning performance at this year's WSC proved the significance and superior performance of Panasonic's / Sanyo HIT solar cells and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries HIT stands for Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin-layer; heterojunction means a combination of amorphous and crystalline structures; intrinsic refers to intrinsic or i-type semiconductors. Items viewed or mentioned in this video: * High performance solar power cars. * Electric / EV cars / vehicles * Hydrogen fuel cell cars * Aerodynamic design * Lithium iron, lithium polymer and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries * High speed solar powered cars * Hi tech carbon fiber
