2002 Level 1 Joule Mobile Competion
In the level 1 competition the potential energy stored in the 1 kg mass was converted to kinetic energy to drive the vehicle up a ramp with a 23O angle. The potential energy gained as the vehicle climbed up the ramp was then converted to kinetic energy to propel the vehicle back down the ramp. Competing teams had to build efficient vehicles too prevent to much energy loss in the form of heat caused by mechanical friction.
Winners of the 2002 Level 1 Competion
Mike Chauvin, Kyle Jacobs, and Neil Lyons built the winning Joule Mobile in this year's competition. Their joule mobile traveled 4'9". I don't believe they gave themselves much hope as the competion approached. But discovering the best method for releasing the mass during the competion "pulled it out for them" Good Job!
Other Pictures from the 2002 Level 1 Competion Beaux Duhe' and Evan Stark constructed this "original" creation! Check out the distance 0'0" Hey guys, I suggest you stick to egg trampolins. Ryan Bergeron and Brandon Michel's dog was more bark than bite. Total distance 4 inches. Amy Authement, Jennifer Becnel, and Diana Tran nearly had the competition with this well desgned vehicle. It traveled 4'3" for a second place finish. Scott Picou and Spencer Schoonenberg were the creators of this mighty Tonka Warrior. Total distance 10 1/2 inches. Jacob Noel and Ryan Sullivant's little tuperware mobile showed its durabilty throughout this project. Total distance 9 1/4 inches. I don't know what this is? But somehow, despite all odds, this boot built by Jackie Toups, Katie Watkins, and Tom Walker that resembles yours truly finished in fourth place with a distance of 1'1 1/4" To view a complete list of results from this year's competition click here.
