Model # 1


Here you see our first model which we will experiment on, we chose to use a body which looked similar to a jet plane, considering the fact that they are able to go at incredible speeds they are also very aerodynamic which we took into consideration, we plan to use the long balloons because they are narrow unlike the big bulky balloons which you use at parties, we plan to use 2 of them because we think it would cause the car to go faster, the tires would probably be bottle caps with duck tape around the surface creating more traction, so here is our first model and we will post up a clip of how our model turned out as soon as possible.

  1. Nice idea. one question, is the balloon going to be inside the car? Cause if it is, are you able to blow the balloon up to maximum volume?

  2. Nice design, but I don't think that the balloon idea will work? Maybe you should try a different approach. Well, its up to you really, I'm excited to see the results :)

  4. you may want to move the balloon into the open and not restrain it. cause it might break out and tear some things with it.
