Well for what project do u want guide lines for...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Car Paper Says:
Students will be designing and constructing a wheeled vehicle which will transport a 1kg mass using the energy released as this mass falls and distance of 10 cm (.1 m--approximately one joule of energy). NOTE: One Joule of energy can life a weight of one Newton up on meter, which is equivalent to lifting 10N up .1m or 10 cm. A kilogram mass weighs 9.8N, which is close enough for our purposes.
1 Kilogram= 2.2 pounds
There are 454 grams in 1 pound
The usual way of accomplising this is to attach the Kg mass to a strin which passes up over a pulley and down to an axle. Pulling the car backward winds the string turning the axel to lift the mass 10cm. When the car is released, the mass slowly falls, pulling the string turning the axle.
Success requires mass and friction.
Strong and Light frams
Wheels
Axle
string
This is a ditace conteset the better cars will travel over 10m. The car should coast after the mass is dropped. Try to maximize the distance travelled by your car.

I dont have like tons of money to get all this stuff so i need something cheap, easy and fast!
