Car #2

Car #2

This is an image of my Second Attempt at my vehicle - the difference from this car to my first car is the noticeable incline in slope of the battery pack which should assist the air to flow over the car, which in return will increase the aerodynamics of the car as its velocity increases.
This car has a thinner body, which will decrease the overall mass of the car, and therefore increase the velocity of the object.
So far in this car I have soldered the wires, and even though there are still some fine details that need to be attended to, the overall car has been lubricated and glued on. The vehicles wires have also been connected but I still have to glue the switch in place as well as the front wheels, but I feel confident that it will be ready to go by its due date.

New Unit Of Work

The Breif: Designing a Small Vehicle that can travel 8 meters in the fastest time
possible. 
So far I have only ideated and started working on my vehicles shape. I am beginning to consider the vehicles aerodynamic structure and hopefully by the next lesson I can begin putting together the wires of the car and solder them together. A few things I have noted that I am going to incorporate into my vehicle to ensure it drives as fast as possible is;
- I will minimize the length of the wires to ensure that I utilize as much of the battery energy as possible.
- I will maximize aerodynamics by installing on the tip of my vehicle a plastic pointy tranglular tip that will help direct the wind around the vehicle as it travels.
- I will consider the positioning of all my elements needed to run it (battery pack, motor, switch ect...) to ensure I have an optimal balance of weight on my vehicle that will assist in the vehicle reaching its maximum velocity faster.
