Amphibious Solar Powered Hover Vehicle, Viable or Not?

Electric vehicles are gaining prominence in today's transportation market due to the increased demand of sustainable energy. Although proven to be an effective alternative to gas-powered vehicles, EVs are still extremely limited by their range, making the integration of a secondary energy source is a much welcomed upgrade. Omnidirectional movement is another feature that transportation means would benefit from as it provides better maneuverability that conventional 2 and 4 wheeled vehicles lack. The incorporation of both a solar charging system and multi-motor hovercraft technology can help increase an EV's potential range and maneuverability. This paper's exploration of an amphibious solar powered vehicle design proves that one can be a viable alternative for daily transportation.
