REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Introduction Balloon powered car racers are driven by air coming from a deflating balloon. Instead of using electricity‚ these cars make use of the Law of Action and Reaction. The car is propelled forward‚ as a result of the air coming from an inflated balloon.

Although balloon powered car racers have been around for quite

Also known as the Age of Reason‚ the movement occurred roughly between 1687 when Newton’s major
