WEEKLY UPDATE
This video explains the assignment requirements for the steam turbine car project. I also introduce the basic thermodynamics concept behind the model.
This video shows the materials and design for Car 1, including explanations on how light and low-friction materials help convert steam energy into motion.
This video explains the materials and planned design for Car 2. I describe expected improvements and compare it with the first car.
In this video, I present the materials and design layout for Car 3. I also highlight the ideas that make it different from the other two.
This video shows my first attempt at building Car 1. I explain the confusion I faced during the process and share some real-life applications of steam power.
This video covers the building of Car 2. I also explain changes made, like replacing the nozzle with a pen tip and building a turbine from a soft drink can.
In this video, I focus on assembling Car 3. I share the design features, how the parts were put together, and what makes this build different from the previous ones.
This final video compares all three cars and identifies which car performed the best. I discuss why that design worked best based on thermodynamic efficiency.
