Daarbij brak de auto vier wereldrecords. Nuna legde de afstand af in 32 uur en 39 minuten, en noteerde een gemiddelde snelheid van 91 km\/u. In 2003 werd er opnieuw gewonnen, en weer gingen alle records eraan.<\/p>\n<p>De gestroomlijnde machine had een heleboel voordelen. Het buitenste omhulsel was gevormd om de luchtweerstand te verminderen en bestond uit plastics uit het ruimtetijdperk, waardoor de auto licht maar toch sterk was. Het grootste deel bestond uit koolstofvezel dat was versterkt met Kevlar, een materiaal dat ook in satellieten wordt gebruikt.<\/p>\n<p>Het oppervlak van de auto was bedekt met zeer effici\u00ebnte zonnecellen van galliumarsenide, die oorspronkelijk waren ontwikkeld voor satellieten zoals de SMART-1-maanverkenner van de ESA. Nuna beschikte tevens over kleine apparaten die een maximaal rendement van de accu en de zonnecellen garandeerden, zelfs wanneer de auto in de schaduw stond of het bewolkt was. Deze apparaten worden op veel satellieten gebruikt, zoals de Rosetta-komeetverkenner van de ESA.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motoring took on a whole new look when Dutch students used space technology to build Nuna, the ultimate car for the 21st century.
