STEM Racing (formerly F1 in Schools) is an international STEM competition endorsed by Formula 1 for students aged 9–19. Groups of 3–6 students have to design and manufacture a miniature F1 car using CAD/CAM and CAE design tools. The cars are powered by CO 2 cartridges and are attached to a track by a nylon wire. They are timed from the ...
Wind-powered vehicles derive their power from sails, kites or rotors and ride on wheels—which may be linked to a wind-powered rotor—or runners. Whether powered by sail, kite or rotor, these vehicles share a common trait: As the vehicle increases in speed, the advancing airfoil encounters an increasing apparent wind at an angle of attack ...
Inspiration is a British-designed and -built steam-propelled car designed by Glynne Bowsher and developed by the British Steam Car Challenge team. [1] [2]Inspiration holds the World Land Speed Record for a steam-powered vehicle on 25 August 2009, driven by Charles Burnett III with an average speed of 139.8 mph (225 km/h) [3] over two consecutive runs over a measured mile.

The vehicle draws power from the faster of the two media in each case and imparts it to the slower of the two: upwind, drawing power from the wind and imparting it to the wheels and, downwind, drawing power from the wheels and imparting it to the rotor: in each case in proportion to the velocity of the medium, relative to the vehicle.

For example, in 2021, at the request of a fellow YouTuber, Derek Muller, she built a model car that uses a gear and propeller system to apply drive from a treadmill to make it travel faster than the treadmill was running; [21] [22] she was able to build the vehicle after learning that the key design detail is the vehicle speed ratio, which ...
The Solar Car Challenge is an annual solar-powered car race for high school students. The event attracts teams from around the world, but mostly from American high schools. The race was first held in 1995. Each event is the end product of a two-year education cycle launched by the Winston Solar Car Team.
Sonnenwagen Aachen was founded with the goal of developing a solar car to participate in the Challenger class. In this class, the most efficient and enduring car wins, recharging of the internal batteries is not allowed and cars are heavily optimized for aerodynamics, light-weight design and efficient power usage.
