yea alotta kids are doin that, they use coathangers as frame and all that ghetto fabulous stuff.

i dont care how fast mine goes, its already fast enuff to get an A. im goin for style.

 

so whats the benefit of a 2nd mouse trap?

tho im not takin physics next year, all they do i hear is catapults and cardboard boats that are supposed to float w/ them inside

 

2 moustraps = twice the power


thats what they do at my sis' college physics course, but im only in high school

 

F=ma

shit, i gotta take the last series of physics next qtr.. electromagnetism :wtc:

 

majoring in something that requires physics?

 

i was engineering... took all the GE courses in chem, physics, basic engineering, etc.. decided i dont want to be a nerd and go thru life working for somebody else doing engineering.. but i need to finish this series to graduate, since i dont want to start over and do some other series

 

oh

 

 

Yea, this is what ya do, make it wide-body (2 traps) and move the pully up a bit, if its right above the axel it will have a bunch of resistance.

Also, you need a C-West W-Type aero kit and a type-R badge on it, huge canister muffler, spray paint the wheels chrome, and last but not least, 175-shot of nitrous oxide (model rocket D-engine).

 

I think traction is gonna be your #1 problem, so either make some tires with a very large coefficient of friction (tee hee, i'm writing my physics 12 final 2morrow) or increase the normal force on the drive wheels :thumbup:
