Just re-watched the video...4.3m x 5.3 m canopy area, so 22 sq meters of
lenses focusing on the top of the car. Assuming 1kW per square meter,
50% for focusing loss, and 80% loss for solar panel conversion
efficiency...(22 * .5 * .2 = 2.2) that gives 2.2 kWh of power (for say
5-6 hours a day).......a respectable amount and it could work for a
short daily commute.

Pretty slick idea using Fresnel lens to concentrate the solar energy and
moving the vehicle to stay in the sweet spot. Lawrence Rhodes
