After the amazing success of the international “Racing Aeolus 2009” and “Racing Aeolus 2010” at Ringkøbing-Skjern airport in Denmark, and the "Racing Aeolus 2011" in Den Helder, the Hogeschool van Amsterdam is again participating in the ”Racing Aeolus 2012”.
At the Aeolus race, several universities from all over the world participate in race to build the best and fastest wind powered vehicle. In 2010 we set the world record of the most efficient wind powered vehicle of 66% and held by the Hogeschool van Amsterdam until the late summer of 2011.
This year we hope to optimize and improve our performance of last year and not only win the race again, but also improve our previous world record.
We proved Mitt Romney WRONG!!!

Hey John,
Yes we heard of the record. It is true that the limitations of the race prevent us from achieving result like that. However it does make the race more fair and more practical.Posted by Ingmar, 21/08/2012 7:10pm (10 months ago)

Was wondering if any on the team have heard about the Blackbird wind turbine vehicle claiming the world record for going directly upwind at 2.1 times wind speed, and what you thought about it. Too bad there are limits on the rotor size and height for Aeolus cars, which as a result have yet to even reach wind speed as a result
