  3. Hello remember how we said last night we where going to test different types of energy i have found a Salt Water Fuel Cell Car on amazon for 20 buck. We could use that and also last night i found a solar power car that we could race against a battery powered on to see how long they went and how long it took them.

    3. Ok, so me and greg looked a the reviews and they said it is fast, but small. I add it to the cart. don't know what that means but greg said to do that. talk to you soon ryan

  4. I think that we can use dry ice thats what the idea was originally, maybe a battery, and solar power. I was thinking that we can see which is faster and see if instead of a battery and gas that we can use something more efficient. tell me what you think.

    thanks

  6. This looks great! Please start to make posts about your findings, you can include pictures and video if you wish. I will look into these ideas and we will continue to brainstorm. One thing I though of is polling people before to see which they think would provide the best results in terms of energy sources. I will make an example post based on the OWI Super Race Car. Keep up the good work!

  7. Today is class we made a track to test the rechargeable battery car.We had to use fishing line so that the car would go in the straight line. We used the charge time to see how fair the car would travel. We also made a graph that had a time column that goes up by 5 seconds to One minutes. The distance was measured in meters (m).

  8. Today in class we test the rocket car. we did the water over distance. we found other that the magic amount of water was 600-700ml it went something like 16 meters
