      In the early 80's, we didn't even have digital light gates to tell us who won, just a dad with really thick glasses guessing. Also, ours just ran off into a box of pillows. I still have my fun-but-slow creations.

    I still have my pinewood derby car from 1969, nice job on your track. Thanks to folk's like yourself who will go the extra mile and work to make a community challenge even more fun, we certainly could use more people to think less about what's in it for me and how can I be of service to others, once again thank you for being one of those people.

    I miss doing the pinewood derby with my boys and the Boy Scouts.
    I started helping the first year my oldest started in scouts. The next year they asked me to be an Assistant Cub Master.
    They put me in charge of the pinewood derby after that and I was in charge for the next 7 years. Even after my boys moved on to Boy Scouts. I loved doing it even with all of the stress before raceday.
    I started running pinewood derby build camps also to help the boys and parents who didn't have the knowledge and tools to build their cars.
    This brought back so many wonderful memories.
    I even saved some of my boys cars.
    I would love to help you with this maybe next year.
    I live within an hour of you. I know you have all the help you probably need but just in case you needed any more, I would be honored if I could help.
    I know how much work it can be. But totally worth it.
    Thank you so much for all of the videos you do.

    Glad you got your circular loop to work. Roller coasters use a tear-drop shape because it keeps the G-forces more consistent throughout (read: nobody should black out while riding it). For derby cars, a tear-drop shape might help keep cars of varying speed on the track better.
    But I feel like a collab with Mark Rober would produce the best results. :D

  • @shadocatxl
    @shadocatxl Před 2 lety

    I think you might need some physics dad vibes. So there are 3 things that the car making it through the loop depend on: the size of the loop(radius of the circle), height of the start(compared to the base of the loop), and the mass of the car. Most people would say you just need the start to me as high as the top of the loop. They’d be wrong, because they are only thinking in terms of energy. For a roller coaster to get over a hump you only need to start as high as the hump. But in a loop the track isn’t holding it up against gravity, so in science terms gravity is doing work to try and pull the car off the track. So you need to split the problem. So at minimum you need enough speed in the loop to over come gravity. Centripetal acceleration is (speed)squared divided by the radius of the loop. And because we need that acceleration to counter the acceleration from gravity it needs to equal 9.8 meters per second sq, which is the average acceleration from gravity. Now we can solve for the minimum speed we need when entering the loop. Here we can look back to energy. If all the energy of the car is in its motion(kinetic) then the total energy before the car goes into the loop at the bottom is 1/2 times its mass times its speed, which that speed needs to me that same minimum speed from the first part right? So we can calculate the energy it needs going into the loop. Then we make sure it has that energy by using height. Potential energy from height is equal to the cars mass times the acceleration from gravity(9.8) times the height you raise it to, which you can measure from any point because it’s about the difference between two heights. To clarify if you want to know how much potential energy ball has before you drop it, you need to measure from where you expect it to stop; aka the ground. Since energy lost to friction is probably low you can say that the potential energy from the height of the start has to equal the energy of the moving car before it enters the loop. So (height in meters)(mass of car in kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=(1/2)(mass of the car in kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(radius of the loop)…. Or after you cancel a few things-> height = 1/2 radius of the loop. So the start has to be twice as high as the loop, roughly

    I had a lot of fun building pinewood derby cars with my dad way back when. We took it very seriously. From weight distribution to getting the perfect axles and wheel to using graphite to reduce friction. Dad got real good at it because I had 5 and then my brother had 5. Dad had 10 consecutive years of derby cars.

    For a team building activity, we once built a loop using rain gutter material. Our cars were... rocket powered! They blasted through the loop and then went air born. We were at a model airplane airport and we were going for distance, to the end of the runway! Pinewood derby cars are too much fun!
