6th grade school project: construction of a wind turbine car.?
Hello. Looking for ideas on designing a wind turbine car for the school project of my son, 6. A blow-dryer is used to see how far you move. We're supposed to stay away from store-bought parts. I've built before these (one of straw), but without much success. Your ideas are welcome. Have a great night … and thanks.
This is a bit of information. If you connect a fan to him, the car actually goes faster than the wind because the wind blows in the direction you want to go. Another was to build, are to learn how people caught in the wind the past. For example, ships used sails. They had a specific design for enabling them to continue sailing upwind. purchased shop materials: if anything in the store this can be difficult, but if your professor means things together as it is easy to avoid. For wheels, the great work of the Conference howerver you might want to put a ruberband around so you can get some Tracktion. A long wheelbase allows you to go straight, but add a little more weight than The longer you do it. if you just go, not to matter, I make the very small wheel base. Then you needed to make the system propultion. candle, fan ect … how to capture the wind. The idea of the fan, I would not have done, however, my Mech. engineering professor me and said he does not seem a joke to all or nothing, so they feel as if its a sure thing. Things To maximize: suface area to catch the wind. Great sailing, or things fan blades want Minamiza: friction wheel axle weight
