Uptil this point, we were bent upon using dry ice and wind energy dual-fuel as our main energy source. But, when we take it in the practical sense, it doesn't seem feasible since the particle accelarator is larger in size than that of a normal vehicle. And wind energy has now taken a back seat, since the breadth of the car would increase two-folds and also since there were practical difficulties encountered while trying to have openings for the wind tunnel in the car. Solar energy generation is being given second priority and might be considered as a supplementary fuel system. Now our focus is mainly towards selecting a particular element which gives a high rate of combustion and develops high pressure when combusted, so as to increase the velocity of the flywheel. Simultaneously, we are working towards finding a practical way of harnessing wind energy so as to use it as at least a supplementary source of energy if not the primary one. We are comparing energy densities of various fuels and the emissions from each of them in order to bring the efficiency to the maximum possible level without endangering the environment and our ideal final design would be one which could aesthetically combine our various ideas into a single product.
