How would I make a far distance Balloon Powered Race Car?
This sounds like a physics/science project from school. The way I see it there are three problems to solve, maybe four if you get the first solved. 1. How to attach the balloon to the car. I think a net would work, but the net would have to be light and stretchy. You could make something from rubber bands tied together or maybe a woman’s nylon stocking. Either way you could attach the net to the car with string or nylon cable ties. Of course the balloon would be inside the net. 2. The car would need to be heavy enough so that as the air escaped from the balloon the car would not go spinning wildly out of control. You’ll need to figure out some way adding or subtracting once you get the car working. Perhaps you could use large steel washers or nuts, say for ½ inch diameter bolts. These could be taped to the frame/chassis. 3. To make some sort of nozzle like is used on a rocket to make the car go straight and not waste air from the balloon by letting it go all at once. The nozzle has to
