A Young Person Just 23 Developed an Electric Car That Uses Solar Energy and Makes Use of Technologies That Could Revolutionize the Automotive Industry

A 23-year-old Russian created an electric car that uses solar energy and went viral online, with a vehicle made from recycled materials. The invention is named “Dark Phase,” belonging to young Nikita Poddubnov, who also developed interesting connectivity in the vehicle that could revolutionize the automotive industry.

The Dark Phase will be put to the test on a trip to China, but the model is still being updated with some additional configurations. According to the young Russian, the chassis of the solar-powered electric car is entirely homemade, made of aluminum to keep everything as light as possible.

The wheels were taken from Chinese scooters. The rear wheels were replaced with a 1KW electric motor. For the young man to build the solar-powered electric car, a total investment of R$ 14,000 was needed.

Solar-Powered Electric Car Has Its Own App

According to the young man, the vehicle has considerable autonomy, capable of running for six hours at speeds of up to 30 km/h. Additionally, the Russian even developed an app to control some functions of the vehicle 100% remotely, such as turning on the lights.

The young Russian reports that he got lazy installing buttons for the headlights, candles, and everything else, so he decided to do all the buttons on his cell phone screen to save money and time. The entire project of the solar-powered electric car is being documented with videos and photos so that the evolution of the model can be shown to the automotive industry.

However, it will take some time for the model to be ready for its test in China or even to drive on the streets. The electric car will likely be certified, as it must be able to drive on public roads without compromising the safety of both the young man and others.

Brilliant Ideas Around the World

It’s amazing to see that young people care about low gas emissions in the atmosphere, just like Nikita Poddubnov, a young engineer from Nigeria who built a car powered by wind and solar energy using scrap.

The model received an investment of US$ 6,000. Several entrepreneurs were eager about the new invention from the Nigerian engineer.

The student spent over a year making adaptations to the materials used, which were donated by friends and family. The young man, Segun Oyeiola, claims that the idea arose when he began to become aware of CO2 emissions.

Brilliant Ideas Around the World

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
