Co2 Car

*During the assembly of the car, solidworks crashed, wiping the assembly as well as the construction of the body from my library. I'm working on fixing the body and completing the construction so that I can do the flow simulation*

Product Co2 Car (Bullet Train)

Color will be brass for the casing and bronze for the bullet
The length of the car will be nearly 200mm
The Cartridge will be fit into the back of the bullet
Because the shape of the car is that of a bullet, it is naturally very aerodynamic. The filleted faced and edges, along with its pointy head are the main contributors to its effective aerodynamics
After the first Flow simulation with the car, there will be a remodel in order to try and improve the flow sim data
The only tolerance that is needed would be for the axle holes
There will be an extruded base as well as a cut through that base in order to fit the wire on the car

The Design

The images presented are: the revolve base/bullet body feature, extruded base with extruded cut to create the axel holders, extruded base with extruded cut to create the holder for the wire, and a final image of my car.
