My Vacuum Car

I have been part of a DT course. During the course I have made a little car. As you can guess, I used the vacuum forming process. Which, basically, heats up a thermo plastic-NOT thermo setting plastic. Then when the thermo plastic is loose enough, the plastic is shaped around a mould. Then cool air(or the vacuum) is used to cool the plastic and then when totally cool the mould is removed. My plastic car was cut out of the big sheet and my car had started to form.

Then I drilled holes, for the wheels. I measured the axels and then added the wheels. My car was done. To test my car, the course organiser had set up a mini ramp and I had to measure the distance and time to work out the speed. Mine didn't really go far or fast, the fastest it went was 18Speed/DT.
