![]() The Technical University of Denmark - DTU - has a long tradition in education within sustainable energy in particular wind energy. The two departments; Department of Mechanical Engineering (MEK) and National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy (Riso) have through the last three decades been involved in highly innovative project in the field of wind energy. When the chance of participating in a race with wind cars arose the participation was a must. Fortunately, many students saw the same possibilities. The "Racing Aeolus!" event is organized by windenergyevents.com in 2008. This year the race will be held in Denmark by Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune and Vestas. Last year DTU's car did 53% of the wind speed and we hope this year to go even faster. |
