of solar cells?
Solar cells do not release CO2 into the air.
Solar cells do not pollute the air, the ground or the water.
Solar cells convert sunlight directly into electrical current.
Solar cells do not use a generator or a turbine to make electricity.
Solar cells work as long as the Sun shines.
Sunlight is free.

Make sure that the motor spins freely in the sunlight

Find a fairly smooth sidewalk or playground
to see if the car will run.
Can you use the mylar square to make the car run even in the shade?
2. Does the front wheel spin in the sunlight when the car is off the ground? Check the motor’s connections to the solar cell. Make sure the front wheel is not rubbing against anything as it turns.Turn the shaft of the motor with your fingers to get it started.
3. Do the wheels spin freely? If not, did you forget to put on the small washers?Adjust the wheels so there is room for them to spin without rubbing on the frame of the car.
4. Check to see if the two gears engage without locking together TOO tightly. Be sure to leave some space between the pinion gear on the motor and the gear on the axle.
5. Be sure that the motor is aligned with the axle and that the pinion gear is perpendicular to the gear on the axle.
