Week 2 in Power Drive is just as interesting as the first as the team finished up there models and are getting them ready to test. Students are working to get the wind tunnel up and running. First they checked for any defects to make sure that the wind tunnel works properly. “The whole project is going great.” quoted Mr. Smith. The team is starting to test and is finding out just how well their designs will work. In order to have a good car the team must find the model with the least amount of drag and one that is highly effective in aerodynamics. So far the cars that have been tested have had a moderate drag rate. After the wind tunnel testing the team will make full scale prototypes of the models that worked the best. “We are looking at some great models so far that are sure to be winners” Mr. Smith also quoted. It looks like B-R will be looking at another great year in Power Drive!
