Powered solely by the sun, this single-seat race vehicle uses the same amount of energy that it takes to power a hair-dryer. On a closed test course, Infinium reached speeds of over 105 mph. Building the solar car is a two year project that takes about 150 student team members and more than 1 million dollars. Vehicles from previous project cycles are on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland, and the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
