This is a really cool display at the Museum of Science and Industry showcasing solar power and one of its many (fun!) uses. This is a circular track running 2 Ferrari F430 slot cars. The more you allow sunlight into the solar panels, the faster your car goes. The less light you allow to reach the panels, the slower your car goes until the panels are completely blocked and the cars stop running altogether. Recorded on 7/21/2011 with a Nikon Coolpix S205.
