UNT in partnership with TEA, Copyright © All rights reserved. Wind Powered Car Challenge

 Students or teams of students will complete a wind powered car.  Students can use recycled materials or commercially sold items (BE CREATIVE).  Or, use a used/clean lunchroom milk carton.  The car cannot exceed 24” x 24” x 24”. UNT in partnership with TEA, Copyright © All rights reserved.

 Place a somewhat powerful electric fan on the ground.  Measure how far your car was “pushed” by the wind.  Compete with other students to see whose wind car can travel the farthest. UNT in partnership with TEA, Copyright © All rights reserved.

 Weight of Materials  Wheel material (coefficient of friction?)  Bearing type and type of lubrication  Wheel size, axle size, and wheel location  Sail Size  Center of Gravity (if off-centered, could cause car to drift undesirably) UNT in partnership with TEA, Copyright © All rights reserved.
