Trail #1

Alexander and I had our first balloon car trial on December 5 2011. On the day of the trial Alexander was out sick with a cold. It was my duty to show him what our balloon car can do. I blew the balloon up and let the car go it went at a good fast pace but since the balloon was over weighted with air the balloon flopped over the nosel making air impossible to flow out. It was a devastation because i worked on this project for about 4 hours straight before the trial that Sunday evening. Our car ended with 1.9 meters, and did not achieve our goal of 10 meters. I believe this car was a failure because of the friction between the wheels rolling and how the balloon toppled over the nosel causing it to completely stop. hopefully well find out how to fix the problem by our second trial.
