Stella's Got Her Groove Back, Again

Solar powered car for the next generation family
Matthew Johnson

The idea of “Stella” getting her groove back again came from watching the video of a collective of students working on a family sized solar powered automobile. The Solar Team Eindhoven is an initiative of 20 students who set to build their solar car for the World Solar Challenge in Australia. Their background of intellectual disciplines vary within the Eindhoven University of Technology, but their collective goal was to design this family solar powered automobile, in which they have succeeded. Check out their prototype, Stella.
The fact that MANY online “critics” are so sad and crying over the appearance of this fascinating vehicle astounds me. This only goes to show that the collective imagination of certain corners of the world are not quite developed yet. By building and creating Stella, the world now sees that we have the potential to do great things within this planet, for helping this planet evolve, grow, and live as one with nature as the creatures of the planet ought to be.
NAME News applauds all of those pioneers around the world working for a better planet for the future.

Article: Solar Panel + Cozy Car = Organic Transit

Matthew Johnson


WELCOME TO DURHAM NORTH CAROLINA, home to North Carolina Central University, The Museum of Life and Science, and now the founding city to the state’s first OTV (organic transit vehicle).

I am truly excited to see this piece of creation zooming around the cities of America. Providing alternatives for exercising with the biking feature, and staying environmentally friendly by running your battery from solar paneling.

Here are a few links for further research and insight.
