Balloon Car Contest

[ksaimouli]

ya i used it but what the think is those cds are wobbling (shaking) how to stick those to make it stiff

[ksaimouli]

hi iam 10th grader i am going to the science competition iam totally confused about the wheels and the body please give any advice

[Papapodcasts]

@ksaimouli I would use old CD's for wheels.

[Shalver59]

@ksaimouli Well im in 6th drage and i have to do the project

[ThePhoenixBeauty]

I'm doing this project for 8th grade Physical Science... This really helped, i loved the one with the (i think) red ping pong balls for wheels. I also like the very first one and the one with the smiley face balloon

[starlion11]

smiley face for the win!

[bhentehquatroh1]

thank you for posting this sir, its really going to help me for my balloon car!! keep uploading this helpful videos :D

[iffatjahanful]

This is so cool.:)

[Papapodcasts]

@iffatjahanful I agree, unfortunately our curriculum has changed and we no longer teach this section of the course to be able to do this activity again.

[jenifersil]

Any hints on what materials will make the fastest car?

[LASABRE14]

does anybody know what wouod be the best materials for wheels?

[taytaylovely1]

Thanx Papapodcasts, i had no idea wat 2 do but afta watchin da vid. i alreddy finished it.......in my head.

[ashleytisdale101girl]

my ballon car project is duetomorrow and i was so confuse! this totally cleared stuff out! the wheels r the hard part tho!

[Papapodcasts]

@ashleytisdale101girl You're absolutely right. The wheels are what makes or breaks a balloon car. I wish you all the luck on your balloon car. You're going to do great. Let me know how it goes.

Mr.P

[Haleyeilleene]

im in 8th grade and we are doing this right now

[soccerplayingbanana]

@Haleyeilleene i'm in seventh grade

[AntiRedSon]

the girls sound hot

[800Snowflake008]

What material would you recommend a grade 10 engineering class for mini hovercrafts with ballons like cd's, etc

[Papapodcasts]

@800Snowflake008 ya, CD's are good, paper plates for a body (Styrofoam ones).

[a7nwee]

I was trying to find a type of cart model to explain rocket science

I think these balloon cars will do the trick, I think I'll just add a small box of sand in the cart that will slowly discharge as the cart propels forward to simulate fuel being used and reducing the mass and allowing it to accelerate

Thanks so much!!

[7topCelebrityzCollab]

lol wow these are reallyy good, im doing this for my skool project...and our car has to travel AT LEAST 5 meters...

[djthunda12123]

*sigh The best car = no blog :(

[ThEBrOwNSkInS]

how did you make that ?

[itube141]

i made a balloon car out of toothpicks and it works well

[yojoe576]

light weight and stream lined hav 2 do with speed and distance right?

[JolGol3aolcom]

Yea i am in wa i am in a class &th grad halft to make one with out wheels

[Papapodcasts]

THAT'S FANTASTIC!! Great job! It's not easy building a balloon car. keep up the good work.

Mr.P

[cpms5151]

@Papapodcasts yea it it but these cars look like they took awhile to make nice vid

[Papapodcasts]

Thanks for watching. Yes aerodynamics is important. I've also found the CD wheels have helped give the cars distance.

Mr.P

[biggestmvp]

lol i need to do 29m i guess ill get a huge ballon from dollarama :b

[ripstickmaster10]

haha was hoping this would help i have to make a balloon car that travels 15km for my science class

[dreaminvasion]

why don't they make real cars out of big ass balloons? if you get in a wreck it would just be fun, not deadly!

[chemistrycoolguyscom]

in grade 10 academic what do they do

e.g solubility , chemical balance what did they cover so far from chemistry units and more , do they go fast ?? is it similar grade 10 apply, whats the difference between them?

[AssassinJubo]

it was prolly the end of the year so they were having some if that was what you meant.

[modeoc]

i liked the ones that kept going after the balloon had depleted its CO2, wish my teachers were cool enough to assign projects like these..

[Papapodcasts]

With our new curriculum we're bringing in next year, this assignment will no longer fit :( It's too bad because the my students love this assignment.

[Johnsondmms]

haha that looks fun to do...nice balloon cars!

[Papapodcasts]

I can't wait till I assign this activity because my kids have such a great time building them and they really enjoy race day. Thanks for watching. Best of luck with your studies.

Mr.P

[VidN00b]

oh wow this is kinda weird, I'm in grade 10, I'm in toronto and I've had my balloon car test date today too :\

[Papapodcasts]

It's cool to know that other schools are doing this assignment. Too bad next years curriculum change will no longer allows us to do this activity with the grade 10's.

[m1up]

I bet hes greek.

[analyzingfunny]

At least he didnt say, "You know what I mean, ehh?"

[Papapodcasts]

I know what you mean ehh ;) lol
