Building a Balloon Car: Increasing Speed

[millerst]

Hi All,

I'm building a balloon car and I'm in need of ways to increase the speed of the car.

Here's a description: Attach a balloon to a car. Rave the balloon powered car over 3 meters. The car must move on its wheels and the sole source of propulsion must be provided by the balloon.

Okay so I guess my question is, where should the balloon be placed to get the fastest movement, what materials should I use, how should I design the car. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stefan

The balloon should be placed at the inlet to the piston, "obviously".. Do you realize though, half the point of the task is creativity?

internal combustion engine, or propulsion?

I have been a macanic for 30 years. I would use ten speed tires. They are ment to go faster and are lighter. It is just a thought. I hope you do well.
