Speed of light? The thumbnail
Speed of snail
Cuz you know solar power is from the sun which is light giving so “speed of light”
Light of light
@@zandoro2123 should have been speed from light?🤔
@@carljosepharcega7958 That doesn't sound as cool!
Once in a while youtube recommends a videoes which makes your day ☺
This video was one of those 😊
I never heard about this before, inspiring !!!
12:51 I don’t know if they have the best car but they certainly have the best vocal fry.
Ikr XD
When I saw 1:07 I thought I was seeing veritasium lol
I realised that I was watching seeker
Same haha
Yup
I thought I watch nothing
Yes, I had to double check to see that is was Seeker!! Hi Derek!!
But why would i?
I appreciate for the improved science and technology. I advise you to continue!
Ssssas

This is one of the most exciting races I have ever seen. The admirationI have for all these teams is great. Thank everyone of you for your tenacity and hard work. The whole world needs to view this👍👍👍👍😁🤙🏻✌️🙏🏻🙏🏻💪❤️
Everyone's nervous, working hard and so secretive about their design, while Team Australia just chillin lol
Seriously no one??? And this video is vertically flipped! If you know what I mean.
Home advantage
Like their first winter olympics gold

Wooooow what is this......????😲😲😲
Aussies will buy it from china and claim the win
Lightning McQueen:
"First time?"

Is pretty
XD
What the fuk
I would love to see a race such as this only with one rule. It must be solar powered. Now That would be fun to watch. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see who wins. I want one.
Like a combination between this and Formula Students cars would be great, but I think we need better solar panels for races like that.
6:07 that missed high five was painful to watch
Bruh my brain
I am shook to my core
That happened to me so many times bro and its actually funny when it happens
Oof
Ugh
Looks like Star wars pod-racer
Trueee😂
It really does
Basically everything nowadays is trying to be either Star Wars or Star Trek or both sooooo

@@1egends_on1y I don't see any tie fighters around lol lol lol
Wow this is really well made. Wish it was longer.
I used this with a 6th grade English class as we learned about alternative fuel vehicles, and they loved it! Thanks for the enthusiastic content.
I just came back from binging the whole series. If you dont have premium, whoooo boy youre in for a treat these next weeks!
I don’t!!!!!!
I waited all day to see the vids than i need premium😭😢
I feel like I should be paying for this series
It's TH-cam premium so you're technically paying for it
@@sharank no premium here

You can pay me.
not passed episode 3 :)
Wow so amazing technical for today and so beautiful car.
08:46 that's my bro Japan 👌🏻👌🏻

Gooo Japan 🇯🇵😼
It's weird seeing Derek in Seeker
Pleasant surprise

omgyh
Really strange
omg
Its awesome for our world.
Please try for every running system
I didn't expect it to be that fast wow.
I thought the thumbnail was a boat that can go on land
This is probably what boats would look like if they had wheels 😂
Me too
OMG SAMEEE
Yes
i remember the people from the dutch team, they once came to my school to show thier car!
@Mostly Insects yea it was, i almost forgot it tho. Thanks to this video i unlocked a whole part of my memory haha
Damn son I wish smt like that happened to me xd
@@pyrohorngaming2141 i guess it was fun but they didnt drive it or something and i was very young i didnt understand half what they said haha
Yeah, they also have competitions now. Where theyvgive you a solar panel, 3 batteries and €100 to build a solar car to compete in a race in Brussels
2 other classmates and me are building one of these cars(i hope we will win)
In the late 1980's(?), GM had a solar car that beat others by DAYS.
Amazing.Thank you for sharing.
Was not ready to hear Veritasium, but an excellent choice as narrator

Wow, that flares up some memories and emotions. Thanks for making this!
Amazing engineering and technology
Thanks for Sharing.
22:00 Ah, the team of my brother. Nice to know he met Veritasium.
Nobody:
Collinfurze: LETS DO THIS

YES!
ahhh
@@hellogram888 that's something he'd do 100%.
Excellent 🙋👍
Nice keep on I love it great technology
Seeing younger generations making a greater chang is amazing
Don't worry you'll be here to see it
What else do you want from video?
When your favorite youtuber is hosting an exceptional event.
Love you Versatium.
A marvelous creation 👍
Next level 👏 Congratulations 🎉
THIS LOOKS AMAZING! How have i not heard of this before
Because gas engines exist...
It’s a seeker show
You are not alone in this😂😂
The best experience I have ever had, was building my 3 solar cars.
because electric engines are so silent
11:33 Do this car will go into space?
Wow what a innovation
Muito esforço e competência das equipes
Then a kangaroo jumps out in front wanting to box.
Looks abit like FH3 lol.

the speed is amazing i am happy to see
87 Robert Fish won.
I remember he took first place. Robert was cool.
Him and his dad built RC air planes and when I took his place at matrix systems in Calabasas he went to Australia and won 1st PLACE. Robert was super NICE.
Go Team Belgium! ☀ 🇧🇪
At 7:45 the documentary says that Tokai "are the pioneers of the bullet hull design." That's not quite true. Michigan and Kogakuin unveiled bullet cars the same year that Tokai did. And bullet hulls had existed before that year.
@Tony Dekker | I'm quite surprised that Wubbo Ockels didn't push harder on that shape back then...
Way back in race the sun in 96 the roach was already a bullet design
Its said pioneering not inventing
Tokai is Sh1t in indonesia language
I hope you enjoy
@@VMKAROUND365 True but I believe Michigan's success in 2017 with the bullet car (2nd place) was one of leading contributors to its popularity in 2019 as it was the best a bullet car had done (at least as far as I know with regards to the past decade or two).
FABULOSOS! Soy del siglo XX ! Tengo 60 años de edad. Jamás imaginé ver está Tegnologia! Creo que no me subiría a un Auto , culla velocidad no es para Cardíacos. Gracias.
As a person with Turkish ancestry, yet born and raised in the Netherlands I am incredibly proud to be part of this amazing culture we have, and I am glad Dutch pioneers are winning races!
we need such turks. not those who go on rioting in the country they sought asylum.

Very interesting race. I hadn't heard of this before but i think it's a great way to understand the limits of solar power
.
Well you won’t hear electric vehicles so
I dont think one race can get you to understand the limits of solar power.

Genial! Sorprendente!
Superb 👍
Ayyy veritasium!
Just when I thought I couldn't be anymore thoroughly impressed with younger generations' motivation and innovation....they step it up and impress me all over again. This is wonderful....we might have some hope yet.
They've been doing this for quite some time now. My brother was on the U of A solar car team over 15 years ago.
I don’t hear a lot of positive things about younger generations, so as a millennial, thank you.
@@flaminhotyoshi7403 agreed
The best of them work for Tesla and SpaceX, literally. Tesla and SpaceX hire engineers from the solar car projects, Formula SAE, etc.
Any Boomer who was paying attention these last 70 years knows and appreciates the intellect and drive of each new young generation. 'Cept you college kids keep getting younger every year.
Very nice to work
Ganz schön schön das ding
It's weird seeing Derek film himself without holding the camera on his own

It is very interesting video thanks
Also optimize the surface available, all surface yielding power can easily make a 10% difference
in output. (if not near 20%)
A fan on the battery and testing high temperature resistance.
this has improved so much!
I remember watching a video (news? 60 minutes?) on this race back in the '90s, and the cars were sooooo slow, and it was more a question of if anyone would finish. Now it is a real race!
They've actually had to change the rules a few times over the years to slow the cars down enough so that they won't break the highway speed limit.
@@tonydekker7792 lol, that's kind of amazing!
Also, what better place to put a no-rules autoban style highway than through the austrailian outback?
@@tonydekker7792 cari masak an
Kind of counter-intuitive to "limit" them. The Outback is "mostly" deserted. A better approach might be to make them subject to seeding tickets when nearing towns like "any other car". if I were driving a 200+ mph Porsche 911 Turbo S through the deserted outback, I would "very likely" be in excess of the posted limit, away from towns. Enough to where a Cessena 210 isn't keeping up....
Worth the watch! We need more races :)
Excellent 👍
Fascinating
Lmao Germans with their simple german naming for the car, "Sonnenwagen" literaly means Solar/Sun vehicle
german always have simple name but its always sound complicated, like Volkswagen its mean People's/Civilian's vehicle
@@Lawbringer. What? Amazing.😮🤯
Was it the Germans who named their gun in ww2 like “type” in German then whatever number
@@brockcasey720 yeah the Sturmgewehr 44 literally just means assault rifle 44
Efficiency over creativity.
I've seen one of these cars before at my University (Eindhoven University of Technology, NL), pretty awesome!
It's kind of sad that the documentary doesn't mention the Cruiser Class, which Eindhoven always wins.
@@tonydekker7792 yes 🥲🥲 pretty sad for us
Vehicle design is very amazing 😎
Awesome new technology solar car💞
I absolutely love the Dutch. TU Delft's everywhere. I hope to attend college there one day!
What?! One of my favourite TH-cam channels and my second favourite race come together? Can't wait to see this year's design approaches. I would love to see the 4seat car design to get more momentum.
Can't wait to seem more!
Yeah, the algorithm got me on this one.. I’m hooked
Dude, they way you speak on everything is on point and completely grabs you out of your seat!
Living in Adelaide, I go to the center of the city to see the cars after every race. Only now after watching this, do I see how hard and dangerous this race is.
I was always impressed by what was done and the competitors all have my absolute respect.

I took part in my university's Shell Eco Marathon race which is essentially this but on a track and less extreme. I think people underestimate the difficulty of manufacturing. Even to achieve simple things like reducing panel gaps and obtaining a non-warped plexiglass windscreen, it take tens of hours of sanding and work. Seeing such perfect and clean looking models really goes to show the years of design and development that goes into them,
Cool
@@drawdo8253 uhhhhhhhh he just sid a long story and you say “cool”?
Damn. That's really cool.
Hey I was in my university's shell eco marathon team as well. Small world.
Cool
Wow, I proud of you
So amazing. Indonesia watching
F1 has "Les Toreadors" as podium music. For this, I expect "Down Under."
Maybe a fried out kombi is the opposite of aerodynamic
I would vote for Icehouse's "Great Southern Land."
I remember the Sunraycer being all over the news when I was a kid in the 80s. Great to see all the innovation that's still happening. :-)
The GM team brought it to Purdue when I was a grad student there. It was a dramatic picture of what was possible- space-grade solar cells from Hughes, custom electric motors from AC Delco, wind tunnel testing at Caltech, and a massive support team including a car that went ahead and provided a constant feed of weather conditions. I asked the GM rep how much it all cost and his answer was "Enough to win." If you can't outsmart 'em, outspend 'em!
But now it's a competition for college students doing what big companies like GM used to do.
That's what it was called! I was born in 93 but I still have vague memories of it being talked about.

@@rupchandsahu1081 Couldn't have said it better myself.
21:48 why did you guys draw on the solar cells?!?!? 😅😅😅
Thank you.
So cool! Just can’t imagine how scary it is to drive one! I could never.
Wouldn't be scary to me. Just hot. So very hot.
They dont seem fast. So wouldnt be that bad
Bro they go 80 mph💀💀
Hello Psych
How are you doing,
Where are you from??
we will be using it when temperature in earth rise up to 45 degrees or more 💀
It's great to see my home on youtube, growing up I've seen these solar cars every few years evolve. This is great, I can't wait for the rest of the series.

That’s just mean to hide the fact that this is a premium series until episode three, after viewers have already invested 46 minutes in watching.
Thanks for letting me know so I can stop watching now and not get invested. This YT premium bs is infuriating.
The rest of the episodes will be available over the coming weeks. Premium just gives you early access.
Thank you
Nice my friend
Watched the whole series. Amazing & Fabulous!
Wonderful
