Rhajaa and Jannell created a car powered by only balloons, by the name of The Deluxe Ice Cream Truck.
The Deluxe Ice Cream Truck has three wheels wrapped in rubber bands for traction and a large ice cream truck frame. We placed the air spout high(toward the top) so that the balloon would not make contact with the wheel when the balloon was inflated. As an extra precaution we placed a popsicle stick on the interior to also protect the wheel. We started out having problems with our wheels turning while attached to straws, so we patched over the holes and stuck shishkabob sticks through them, this solved that problem. A unique feature about our car is that we used an ice cream container. This was supposed to be a lightweight body, so that the car would function fast.
The car is powered by balloons, air is inflated into the two balloons--one inside the other-- and when the air resource is released, the car moves.
