Ohio State’s Solar Car team has risen again, building a vehicle with a fuel efficiency equivalent to more than 2,000 miles per gallon. Ten College of Engineering students resurrected the team — inactive since 2000 — and built a three-wheeled vehicle with a 90 percent efficient electric regenerative motor mounted to the lone rear wheel. The students made the maiden voyage with their vehicle, dubbed the RSFirefly2, in Fontana, Calif., last month at the Shell Eco-marathon, a four-day event challenging schools across the country to design, build and test fuel-efficient vehicles.
