Re: C02 Self-propelled car
I thought of another idea..... The tube from a bicycle tire..... Those can be easily inflated to around 60psi, and are easy to deplete the air from.... THen just use tubing aimed at the turbine.... How would this compare to a 12g C02 canister?

Re: C02 Self-propelled car
Hey - Thanks for the ideas.... Well. In that case, Ill fake it that the turbine is powering the axels, and focus on the expelling of the gas.
One idea - Mabe make two trails carvved in the wood (Really thin) to slow down the time the gas is released, and increase the pressure?

Re: C02 Self-propelled car
By chance, you wouldnt happen to know how much force must be exherted to puncture it would you?

Re: C02 Self-propelled car
The neat thing is is that this is not on a track. Its one of those "build a self-propllled car" projects... We'll most likely end up puting it outside on the cross-country track. And the magnesium would be a very small amount, just enough to puncture the seal on the canister? Im not sure h...

C02 Self-propelled car
Hey. I have a simmilar project for my HS physics class... I need to design "self-propelled" car that travels @ least 5m... (the catch is that the car must be axle-driven!) So i am planning to use a 12g C02 tank, somehow fitted into a wood block, and have it aimed at a turbine geared to the...
