Super+solar+car

Thanks ,but no Thanks

__Journal #1__ Our car will beast all of your cars.HAHAHAHAHAH:D well first of the most obvious issue would be how would you store the solar energy for later use. also temperature control. like on really hot days, your car is trying to absorb all that solar energy, would, or even if you had it, air conditioner still work efficiently?

__Journal #2__ http://www.epsea.org/pv.html - Project done by college students on the subject

__Journal #3__ Friction between the motor and the axle should be reduced so there is less loss of energy and the motor is more efficent and less energy is needed all together. Also friction between the tires and the road need to be increased so that there is more transfer of energy and the road can push back on the tire which in turn will push the car forward.

(B) We could technically take a few base measurements of the car and be able to predict how it will operate from there before fully constructing and testing.

(C) (Research Phase) (Possible Removal) || Forehand knowledge proves to be incomplete. Upon further study prior research in area is inconclusive and argumentative. || (Research Phase) (Possible Removal) || Creates a triangle base. Since the car must always have three points of contact this insures that all wheels must be in contact with ground at once meaning no free spinning wheels which would be wasted energy. For practical purposes on a car it has little use because this would most likely cause unstable turning at "higher" (Undefined) speeds and increased rollover rates but for the purpose of a straight line drag possible use. || (Completed) || Gets rid of extra Energy transfer which reduces potential loss of Energy. || (Completed) || By making the big gear (Red Gear) on the engine and the smaller gear (Blue Gear) on the axle, the engine can continue to rotate at the same speed while the wheels rotate faster than before. || (Planning Phase) (To be Constructed) || Makes all wheels work as one meaning evenly spread Friction and hopefully more Power and Torque. || (Planning Phase) || Larger pool of Potential Energy. || (Planning Phase) || Store excess energy for later use. || (Research Phase) || Possible increase in Power rating. || (Research Phase) || Causes engines to work as one instead of independently creating greater Power rating rather than gain in Torque. || (Viable Option) || Less Weight, less Drag, causing the car to have more Power but do same amount of Work. Not clear if this will affect car greatly at such a light and small scale. || (D) To be Uploaded

 * Comments**: Great job on the modificationas! and Dialogue on the discussion. Need a bit more elaboration on the journal prompts and about the website that you were supposed to summarize but good job overall

(A) Measure a distance of Two meters with each meter marked clearly, start up the car, let it run the first meter (this way you are measuring the speed once it is running at its consistent top speed and not the acceleration), when it reaches the second meter start timing it to see how long it takes it to complete that meter, stop timing, record time. Repeat with base model.

(C)Measure a vertical distance of Two meters with each meter marked clearly on a hill with a consistent angle of incline, start up the car, let it run the first meter (this way you are measuring the speed once it is running at its consistent top speed and not the acceleration), when it reaches the second meter start timing it to see how long it takes it to complete that meter, stop timing, record time, do formulas to find power value, record value. Repeat with base model.
