Research on Animals The Cheetah can go up to 70 – 75 mph. With it’s sleek body, it is one of the fastest animals in the world. We did some research on fast animals and vehicles to help us with our car design. The Peregrine Falcon can reach a speed of 202 mph. They do this by folding their wings at a great height and start a dive called a Stoop. Sailfish can get to a speed of 68 mph. The Sailfish are known for incredible jumps as well.

Research on Vehicles We did some research on fast animals and vehicles to help us with our car design. The Japanese Bullet Train can go at a speed of 186 mph. The Bullet Train is so fast because it is stream lined so the air slides off it’s nose. The Concorde has a speed of 1350 mph. That is faster than the speed of sound. The name “Concorde” is from the French word that means “agreement”, “harmony” or “union”. A rocket can go at a speed of 17,000 mph which propels it into space.

Research on Fast Cars We did some research on fast cars to help us with our car design. The Bloodhound SSC has the speed of 1,000 mph and it holds the Land Speed Record. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport can go at a speed of 268 mph. It is the fastest production car in the world so far! The Lamborghini Aventador can reach a top speed of 217 mph.

The Noble M600 can get from 0 – 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and has a top speed of 225 mph. It has a twin turbo Yamaha V8. The McClaren F1 can reach a top speed of 243 mph. It’s engine is a 618hp BMW V12. Research on Fast Cars We did some research on fast cars to help us with our car design.

The Final Design The reason we chose this design is because that it has a narrow body and a pointed front which makes it aero-dynamic.

Our Logo We chose this logo because the name is short and snappy and its bright colours make it stand out. John thought up five names and narrowed them down to one, POW. If we hadn’t chose POW, this would probably be our logo. Example

The Painting of the Car Mr McKernan took Sophie out to paint the car. First, she spray- painted the car with White Surface Primer and she let that dry. The next day, she spray- painted two coats of silver Metallic All Surface Paint.

What we learned In the F1 Project, our class has learned about: science, technology, engineering, maths. business and sponsorship. As a team, we have learned teamwork, modelling, spray- painting, presenting information and computer work.

The Journey This is the journey that formed Team POW. 17/1/12 Mr.Mckernan showed us a project on F1 cars called the “Formula 1 Technology Challenge”. Mr.Mckernan told us what to do in the project and about racing the car. 18/1/12 In our class, we made mind maps on FIP (First Important Priorities). We also got a full page for our project on the website. 23/1/12 The whole class watched 2 short videos explaining aerodynamics for our car. The 4 principles are lift, drag, thrust and weight.

The Journey This is the journey that formed Team POW. 25/1/12 We had a class drag race with our remote control cars. We measured out the track in metres using a trundle wheel. 26/1/12 We had a circuit race with our remote control cars. After the race we learned how to make a photo story 31/1/12 We researched the results for F1 drivers last year and drew a spreadsheet table in Excel. 7/2/12 We made play dough as part of our instruction writing. We used the play dough to make our F1 car models.

The Journey This is the journey that formed Team POW. 8/2/12 The Team’s Designer made a plasticine model of the car to get it sent to be cut. 14/2/12 We discussed team sponsorship. We then talked about how much everything will cost and what we can offer our sponsors. 15/2/12 We got a special visit from a Ferrari 430 owner and his car! We asked many questions about the car as well.

Designing the Car To help we were given a Jig… Cartridge Location Rear Axle Location Front Axle Locations

Manufacturing the Car The car was sent to Manufacturing Centre (TEC Omagh) to be Scanned and Machined. ½ car being Scanned with Laser Scanner Digital Image of Car
