youd have to have this under high powered lamps in order to get enough juice to the motor. even then i doubt it would work as well as youd want.

outside. in natural sunlight is where you would get the most juice.. thats why i said use it outside.. preferably on a sunnyday..
i know it wouldnt be a pocket rocket, but it would be cool.. and whos to say you couldnt get a bigger solar cell or for that matter get 2 solar cells to put on the car...
even if it only went 1.0 speeds it would be cool...

i e-mailed the guy that made that car. I asked him how much juice that one solar panel generates, and here is what he said
"As far as I can remember, they put out around 3.5V for 24mm*33mm solar-panel. That is more than enough to chargemost of the caps, battery and run the motor for sure."
so if you are running outside on a sunny day you should be ok.. and it just might fly!!!

in canadian radioshack they have these solar car kits and they use much larger motors so it must put out decent power also with solar energy it is stored so the power gets time to build up before you unleash it with 3V like that guy said
