The Angri Car

MACHINE MANIA


At the left is a picture of a monster truck. I was going to make it like a monster truck but my car now looks like an angry Ferrari and a Lotus mixed together. This picture was found at : (Just click here, it's a really long URL.) Ok. Let's get to work Here are some experiments to try!

Experiment 1

The Hot experiment

Materials
1 AA battery
scissors
ruler
aluminum foil

Procedure

1. Cut a strip from the aluminum foil 15cm x 2.5cm(6in. x 1in.)
2. fold the strip of foil in half lenghtwise twice to form a thin 15cm(6in.) strip that will be used as a wire.
3. using one hand, hold one end of the aluminum wire to the end of the aluminum wire against each battery pole(+and-)
4. after 10 seconds, touch the aluminum wire while you continue to hold the battery poles.
   

WARNING: the battery would get REALLY HOT after about 11 seconds, and if you continue to hold it together, you would continue the circuit of the wire, and in short, you would burn YOUR HAND and DISCHARGE THE BATTERY.

Pitagola Switch is a program on TV that I like in Japan. It's a Rube Goldberg show. (Rube Goldberg) are contraptions that do a simple thing, like pour coffee into a cup, or show a sign, but is done in many steps.) Here's two of the videos from you tube. It's from you tube.

This is a link to my "under construction" website, but don't bother visiting it, because you might want to visit my other one. Enough for the madness. Time for some news on the machine mania crew. First, there's Me, Keiichiro. I'm Ten, and most people think I'm a fourth grader or something because I"m so short, but I'm going to sixth grade THIS August. Satoshi, he's a Japanese boy who is about to become a fifth grader. Ben, he's going to be in sixth grade, and he's Chinese. For Albert, he's a Chinese born American and is going to fifth grade. For Julius, he's also a Chinese born American, too. and for the other people? they didn't want their info to go on the net.

Ok, here are the race results!
