Part 2 of our short, HD around the world travel videos. This video was taken as we road our KLR650 motorcycle across BC Canada

In this video
Chasing a moose off the road, cold mountain river swims, trying to cross a rushing river, camping in the middle of nowhere

Our predicted route in the solar thermal carAttachment 10663

I'm not sure I get this. You don't appear to be joking. What are your plans for the various closed borders, forbidden zones, and major and minor civil wars your map has you crossing?

This is for the next 15 or so years. As we travel we try to plan a few months ahead. We will change our route based on what we learn as we travel. We do want to get into the more interesting places. Right now we are thinking about Mainland Mexico and central America. In central America we have to take a boat around counties if we don't want or can't go through them.

I get it. It's more like a vague concept than a specific route. Funny that so many points on the map are so specific, then. A lot of people here will relate to very specific locations and routes--"Why are they going through Somalia when the only practical route transits Kenya to Ethiopia via Moyale? How are they planning to get the car into Saudi Arabia? Etc."

No trouble for Canadians getting through Central America with a car provided (of course) you can show proof of ownership and roadworthiness. How that'll work with yours is an open question.

Not trouble in South America either, subject to the same. In Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia you've got issues...but who knows what'll come to pass by the time you get there?

Good luck.

Ya we will just see what happens. If we can't get into a country we will go around it.

In this video I explain how all the pasts of the solar thermal car work together to power the wheels and propel the car.

Please provide feedback if something doesn't look like it will function properly. Also let me know if you want more information on the design.

I jump into a super hot, hot spring in Northern Bc. Liard hot springs is natural and free everyone should go there. Around the world Adventure part 3 has more footage of Liard hot springs.

This is a short video of me running my first solar thermal university workshop. The students are building their own solar thermal power units to boil water using sunlight.

This is the third short, HD video of our trip around the world.

This video is from northern BC at Liard hot springs. This natural hot springs is free and in the middle of the woods. It has caves, water falls, rivers and very hot water.

Everyone should visit it at least once.

Solar thermal powered car video part 23,
In this video I explain how the solar car will turn into a camper, how the mirror will be covered for high speed aerodynamic travel. I also go over a model of the solar car I am building with all working parts including the steam engine. This will be presented at a renewable energy conference here in La Paz Mexico.

In this video I show how I built the mirror support structures for the solar thermal car scale model. Many of these building techniques will be used to build the full scale solar thermal car. The mirror curve accuracy has been greatly improved from my previous solar thermal devices.

In this video the first test outside with the solar car mirror model hit 139c.
Also showing how to apply aluminum foil to make a solar power mirror from plywood.

Around the world Adventure, short, HD part 4

In this video we canoe down the yukon river, camp on islands and help care for native animal at the Yukon Wildlife preserve.

In this video I heat up oil to 199 degrees Celsius using only sunlight. A glass tube around the metal pipe allowed focused sun energy in and insulated the pipe by trapping air around it. This shows me that there is more then enough energy in this design to propel the solar thermal powered car.
