We will introduce our pioneering research on the application of power distar, which is novel and original transistor composed of merely high-power LED and Si solar cell, to various kind of electric vehicles and vessels such as electric automobile, electric propulsion ship and electric airplane. Also, we will show some prototype models of our "power distar engine".
