Our Prototype ended up as a failure, before we could even start it it got completely destroyed because there was no support under the vehicle. So when we pulled the mouse trap back the wood went back with it and ended up getting destroyed.Because of this we are going to use a wheel instead of a propeller.Now finishing off the flaws of our vehicle I will now focus on the good things about our vehicle.
Some good things of our vehicles is that we managed to make the propeller move with only the mousetrap.The vehicle is also small compared to other ones that other groups have made this might make our vehicle go farther than others although making it too small can make the vehicle lean towards one side. What we have accomplished as a group was make the base of the mouse trap, we created all the peices for our car and we have glued all the pieces together. All we need is the propeller to start thinking in how we exactly we are going to move the mousetrap.
In order to make our vehicle successful we had to do some tweaks to it, first of all we added another layer so that the mousetrap car could move smoothly . We also decided to make it a bit smaller, but because of this we had to make attach the mangets to the side of the vehicle so it could float The treason why we decided to make these changes was because making the vehicle to big could make some issues of it hitting the walls and being to heavy. What i am doing is try to make sure our vehicle isn't to big while another team mate is making sure that it isn't to small. I am also incharge of making sure that the vehicle works Our model for our car is quite simple but is supposed to try to avoid as much air resistance as possible, as our old design most likely wouldn't go too far. it is also not supposed to be to big because having to much weight on our vehicle would slow it down, or make it not move at all. The only issue we had was trying to figure out how we are going to make this move with a propeller and and a mouse trap.If we can't find out a way soon we will probably have to use a wheel instead.
How do you feel about this projectThis project seems to catch my attention because it relies a lot on scaling and about what topics we have been learning this year( such as the force of gravity , friction and air resistance). What Concerns do you have?Some concerns i have on this project is making the muse trap car move without it touching the floor. It will be really hard to make the car move without wheels.Something else that concerns me is that the car might fall if it weights to much. What are you excited about?What i am excited about this project is the fact that the mouse trap is floating, and will not be touching the floor. I am also excited in learning how we are going to do this, and how it will be possible to move the car with only using a mouse trap as the potential energy source. What do you hope to learn during this project?I hope to learn how maglev trains work, and how this project is going to turn out. I also hope to learn the things necessary to make our car successful. What is a goal you have for this project?A goal i have for this project is to make the car successful and to learn more about how maglev transportation works. I also want to make sure our car comes out presentable and make our exhibition the best.
