SOLAR POWERED INVENTIONS

 

Across the Fence

 

By Arvord Abernethy

 

Within the same week, I recently saw on TV two outstanding inventions or developments. One was a car that was crossing the United States powered only by solar electric cells, and the other was an airplane that flew across the English Channel and powered only by solar electric cells.

 

Don’t sell your car and then go down and expect to buy a solar powered car from your dealer. This new car and airplane are not developed to a practical stage yet. Neither was the box-looking thing with a cylinder made from an exhaust pipe and using a wooden fly wheel that Henry Ford drove around very practical. Neither was that odd-looking thing the Wright Brothers kept in the air for twelve seconds very practical.

 

We worry about what we will do when all the oil in the earth is pumped out. The great God who made man as is prize creation, is not going to let us run out of energy and the other things we need.
