Snail Car
Barboursville Middle School
After school May 13, 2004

 
 The challenges is to make the slowest car.
After reading about gearing down,
the students built a car with Motorized Simple machine sets or Team Sets.
The G instructions gave a start on gearing down with the worm gear.
Then using 8 tooth gears meshed with 40 tooth gears in gear trains
the car was even slower.
 There were many slow cars
 Friction was also a help.
 Pulleys also were used.
