Wind powered land boat class project.

Aim: To create a land boat that can go 10 meters while gaining velocity.

Method: We will use paper to create our sail which will attach to the metal rod. The metal rod will be screwed into the trolley/ base. The sail will hopefully catch more air and turn that air into velocity. We will use a leaf blower to create more airflow while we are outside.


Equipment list:

• 1m of Paper.
• 2m of Tape.
• Cardboard Square.
• A Metal Rod.
• Trolley with Wheels.

Research:

Results:
Our land boat went 16.89m with a time of 14.7sec which means that our velocity was: 1.1489ms1

Discussion:
Our land boat was a bit different from everyone else's because of our shape and our design because our one had a backwards sail. Our one could have been better if we put more thought into it and created a better land boat but we decided that our one was fine.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, our land boat did not do the best in the class so we could make some small improvements but for us, our land boat was a success and went very well.
