Description: I was challenged by VW to make electricity to support their electric Supercar at Pike's Peak. The CRUSHED the course record by 15 seconds in the race. I got a little help from William Osman and some kids and without hurting any feelings one was better than the other. Check out William's video here: youtu.be/oa5MRqrEdJI The battery used to store and deliver the lemon, zipline, and solar power is a Mobi Gen built by FreeWire Technologies.
