What makes a balloon powered car go?
When the balloon is inflated it stores the compressed air and stretched rubber as potential energy. When you let the air out of the balloon, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy; this is the energy of motion, which is why the car moves.
What can I use as wheels for a balloon powered car?

- Bottle caps.
- Candy mints (with a hole in the middle)
- CDs.

How does Newton’s laws apply to car crash?
Newton’s second law states that force equals the mass multiplied by acceleration. So, in an automobile accident, the force of the automobile and its occupants decreases if the time required by the vehicle to stop increases.

How do you make a car powered by water?
To fuel a hydrogen car from water, electricity is used to generate hydrogen by electrolysis. The resulting hydrogen is an energy carrier that can power a car by reacting with oxygen from the air to create water, either through burning in a combustion engine or catalyzed to produce electricity in a fuel cell.
Can I build a car from scratch?
You cannot. It is not possible. But, you could assemble a car with existing parts that you salvage from salvage yards. To build a car from “scratch” you would need a foundry.
