Weight Powered Vehicle


A “weight powered vehicle” is a project that I did in my second year of undergrad. Its simply a student design project vehicle that utilizes the potential energy of a 2 kg weight in order to propel it forward. The hardest part about this project were the material constraints. My team and I were limited to only using popsicle sticks, any type of adhesive and string.

Surprisingly enough my vehicle achieved the highest distance to mass ratio out of the whole class. It truly was an amazing experience working with: Kamal Kaheel, Sangeet Joe Sebastian and Brian Lopez.
