The water wheel was used to pull back
the arm on the rubber band capacitor. Then the strain energy that
saved up was used to power the car.
After that a motor was used as a dynamo.
We could read that more than 5 volts was generated. The electric
energy was saved in a capacitor and the electric energy was used to power
the car. Winches were made that were geared with different ratios.
With the worm gear the winch took 2 minutes and 40 seconds to rise. With
out the gearing down of 1 to 24 it took less than 7 seconds for a winch
to rise. Actually we had other variables on the water pressure that
we could not control. When water was used else where in the building
the water wheel went slower.
