How Do You Build A Toy Solar Car?
It’s easy to build a toy solar car with parts from objects around the house and items you can get from local businesses. Clamp the pager motor into a vice so that the weight at the end is held but the motor itself is free. Place a pillow under to motor to catch it as you work. Cut a 1/3-inch section of a paper clip and hold it so that the uncut end rests on the center of the weight of the motor’s axle. Give the sharpened end a light tap with a hammer to drive the axle back out. The motor will fall onto the pillow. Repeat these steps with the second motor. Use identical motors so your car does not spin in circles. Solder wires to both connecting leads from each motor. Remove a wheel from the building block set and glue it over the axle with the glue gun so that it rotates freely. Make the wheel perpendicular to the motor’s axis. Wait for the glue to cool. Repeat with the other motor using an identical wheel. Glue the two motors to one end of the tongue depressor to form the front wheels
