How does weight affect CO2 dragster?
Mass: Obviously, this is how large and heavy the car is. Simply put, the less weight your dragster has, the faster it will go. This is the most important factor that will figure into your design. ... This air resistance pushes against your CO2 car and prevents it from going as fast as it could in a vacuum.
What is the best shape for a CO2 dragster?
Sphere - A very good aerodynamic shape because of it symmetrical shape. Which allows air to flow over it's surface with very little disruption to the air stream. A combination of basic shapes will yield the best results. This equation has to do with how much weight is over the front and rear of the vehicle.
How much does a CO2 dragster weigh?
It weighs 3600 pounds. Fuel consumption is about 40 gallons per minute. Your dragster uses a CO2 cartridge for power. The cartridge contains CO2 gas under pressure.
What makes a good CO2 car?
Aerodynamics, thrust-to-weight ratio, surface drag, rolling resistance and friction--all play a role in what makes a CO2 car fast or slow.
How fast does a CO2 dragster go?
In this type of racing, the participant builds a small carbon dioxide cartridge into the car, which propels it down a flat, level track. They're fast, too -- on a 65.5-foot (20-meter) track, the cars can cross the finish line in just over a second, traveling at nearly 70 miles per hour (112.7 kilometers per hour)!
How fast does a dragster go?
Among the fastest-accelerating machines in the world, 11,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters are often referred to as the “kings of the sport,” and with good reason. They are capable of covering the dragstrip in less than 3.7 seconds at more than 330 mph.
What happens when you puncture a CO2 canister?
You will have to re-inflate your tyre with normal air, which includes larger molecule that leak out slower. If you don't use all the CO2 gas in the cartridge, it will leak out over the next ~30 minutes approximately.
What keeps the dragsters from flying off the track?
Two hooks (eyelets or screw eyes) linked to a string (usually monofilament fishing line) on the bottom of the car prevent the vehicle from losing control during launch.
How far is the axle hole from the back of your dragster?
According to our Dragster Specification Sheet these axle holes will have a diameter of 9/64 of an inch and they will be placed 1 inch from EACH of these edges: front edge and back edge. The axle hole is also located ½ of an inch ABOVE the bottom of the wood block.
What is the fastest CO2 car in the world?
On the 15th October 1997, at Black Rock, Nevada USA, Andy Green piloted the Trust SSC (SuperSonic Car) and achieved what was previously thought impossible. He travelled at a speed of 1,227.985 km/h (Mach 1.020) and broke the sound barrier.
What is the average mass of a CO2 car dragster including the CO2 cartridge?
The average mass of a CO2 dragster is about 50 grams, but we also need to include the mass of the charger - about 25 grams empty. So our total mass is 75 grams, or 0.075 kilograms. If force (F) equals 4.67 Newtons and time (t) equals 0.45 seconds, then the maximum velocity in meters per second is calculated as follows.
What does the C and O stand for in CO2?
CO2 is the chemical formula for the compound carbon dioxide. C is the symbol for the element carbon, and O is the symbol for oxygen.
What is the most aerodynamic car?
The electric Mercedes EQS is the world's most aerodynamic production car. Its 0.20 drag coefficient beats the Tesla Model S and Lucid Air. The cab-forward design isn't just for good looks.
Why do designers try to Minimise drag?
Minimizing drag can save huge amounts of fuel
Thus, the more drag your ride produces, the more fuel it will need to use in order to overcome this force. Some sleek design is fundamental for fuel economy. Take the Tesla model S as an example.
