Car Finished!!!

Yesterday we added some last minute touches to our car on solid works  We came into some difficultly during the week when we realized that the weight of our car was going to be to heavy. Therefore we had to make a few changes to insure that the car was as close to 55 grams as possible to insure maximum speed. 

There was also a change in the manufacture of our car. The people of Cork Institute of Technology will be looking after are car. 

We are delighted with our car and we hope you like it to leave comments to let us know what you think! :) 

Car design #2

Today we were working on our Car Design number 2. We have made quite a few changes compared to our first design. We have shaped the nose cone to make the car more aerodynamic. We have also added air channels to increase the aerodynamics of the car. We have also been working on the front airflow of the car. However, we plan to make the front of the airflow rounder so that the air flows over the car. We also plan to create some air channels underneath the car to add more aerodynamics. We will also be adding the wheels to our design with in the net few days as our design must be emailed to Limerick University by Friday.

Design #1

Last week were busy drawing the developments which we would us to create and design our car on the Solidworks software at school. This is the beginning of our first design we have come up with. The nose cone where the gas cylinder will go, will come to a point to make I more streamlined and increase aerodynamics. 

We our currently working on our second design. We will have more pictures for you tomorrow!
