  1. Drag Racing Group 13 Joseph Cognato Jonathan Glynn Matthew Hartman Leonardo Oliveira

  2. Scope Demonstrate properties of aerodynamics to young minds (K-12) Low maintenance Interactive Robust and simple as to facilitate many repeated demonstrations

  3. Approach Show drag with use of various geometric shapes on carts Difference in drag shown through race COMSOL visuals for the various shapes

  4. Problems Mary Brogan Museum – closed Over complicated – simplify current design Lift ability for airfoil

  5. Current Status • Update design • Change the design of objects on carts • Review airfoil idea • Design review • Ordering parts for fabrication

  6. Carts Change design to incorporate a large square and a smaller circle Allows for more discrepancy in the forces Variety of shapes

  7. Airfoil • Limitations • Velocity profile of air flow • Turbulent nature of air flow • Fixed angle of attack

  8. Planning Finalize design and have approved Order materials Fabricate all necessary parts Test system

  9. Planning

  10. Summary Scope has not changed due to Brogan Museum closure Show drag through use of multiple shapes in race type experiment Re-examine airfoil possibility Order required materials

  11. Questions
