Hybrid Car Battery Design
Shortly after filming our Physics of Sports Videos, we again changed groups and jumped straight into the world of alternate energy sources. We would soon learn about the different types of energy and how we could use them to power vehicles. With this new-found knowledge, we were given our third assignment: find an energy source that can effectively transport a car and at least a 250 gram mass as close to 5 meters as possible. We also would pitch our design and would be evaluated on the cost efficiency of our vehicle. This assignment was eye-opening to how hard it is to find efficient energy sources in our world and was very enjoyable for the time we worked on it.
