Car #2

For the second car we have made a simple design out of k-nex.

All we have to do now, is test the 2 cars to see if they work.

CONTINUATION OF IDEA 1

So The first idea I had went 'ok' but I'm thinking of changed the material i used for the wheels because they tend to bend. I'm still brainstorming ideas.

PROGRESS OF IDEA 1:

As you can see the wheels are not that efficient. Therefore, I am planning to change up the wheels ( as i already said in the beginning of this post )



We shall keep you updated on our progess.

PLANS

IDEA #1:
- use tissue paper rolls for wheels with bbq sticks.
- use tissue box as the cars body
- use regular size balloon

These materials will make the car light but not too light that the balloon wouldnt move it in a straight line.

#2

For our balloon car project we have decided to BOTH create a car. Therfore we will have two different models, and if one of them works we will both combine our creativity together to make it look better. However, if both cars work we will see which one goes farther, or faster.

SKETCH #1 OF BALLOON CAR:

We just made a brief sketch of the balloon car. We plan to start building our balloon car early next week.
