test vehicle #1 complete


Meant to grasp the basic requirements of a balloon car (weight, propulsion, nozzle size, materials). Only a prototype though, meaning it isn't perfect but it works (moves). Aerodynamics and asthetics to be also considered in next produced car. One balloon chosen for this vehicle to reduce size, more than one balloon may be considered on future designs. Cardboard, straws and plastic wheels (for alignment purposes) used.
(Now nicknamed "hinder" due to a problem with the balloon's postitioning, problems.)
