Hybrid Car Battery Design
For this project, my group, Ronan, Gabby, and I, had to create and design a hybrid car prototype that uses an alternate source of energy, no gas or nuclear power sadly, that will make the car go five meters. The first idea we had was a rubber band car, but that didn't go well so we thought of solar car. But we tried and failed that car and a balloon car. Frustrated and low on time , our group went back to a Rubber band car.
The car was propelled by the energy of a rubber band wrapped around its axle. this time around it worked better. We had to modify it A LOT over time. To make the car, we used cheap and strong wood, and a small, long wood stick that came off the car to extend the stretch of band. The axles came from a toy set, made of wood, as well as the wheels used. Then we made a long, strong rubber band "rope" that allowed us to go our goal.
I really enjoyed putting together our car. The car creating was very tiring, I liked learning new concepts.
.
A main reason factor our group did well was team work. We finished our caron time and did well for the time given. We constructed our car many times over.
The new skills I learned about myself were that I can bend wires without many problems.
One thing I found challenging was staying with my group. Another hardship was staying focused all the time.
Some things I could still work on is focusing on the project only, and work more on the written work involved in the project.
The improvements on the project I would make next time is to get a set idea and make prototype of the prototype
