Marlicka Car M

The product that I made is a 3D printed car designed on Onshape that can accommodate a pair of PASCO low friction wheels, a PASCO fan, and a small metal rod. When fully assembled, the fan has to be turned on, and the car can move down a PASCO track. The fan's angled propeller blades rotate and push the air, so the air pushes back, allowing the car to move. The overall goal of this project was not only to make an arrow dynamic, efficient car that could reach the highest top speed, but also to calculate and understand all the energy transformations (by way of conservation of energy) that take place after the fan is turned and makes the car move.
