Joule mobile (AKA gravity bike) prototype

This was a model for my physics project. the project was to make a vehicle that had a 1 kg. weight drop one meter. the vehicle could be no longer than .6 m. and the height and width were limitless (only the height of the weight was limited). this was officially labeled by me and my friend (we had to work in a group and so my friend and i took over his garage and worked for four weeks on it) plan B (but we agreed that the final product went well into the Greek alphabet). the real vehicle had changed drastically. the model was 5 ft. 10 in. tall, and the real thing is about a foot taller. we recieved an A+ on the project and on flat, clean, level ground would go about 38ft. while in the classroom would only go 25 ft. because of unclean unlevel ground. this was my official first model. please rate and comment on the model. just as an FYI, the red section (including the gear) is not mine, i took it from another model. i am sorry to whoever's gear it is, but i do not know who it is. please give me credit if you use this vehicle, and if you can find the maker of the red section, give them credit as well. #bike #drop #gravity #joule #mobile #physics #project #prototype #weight
