3. Abstract We built a balloon powered jet car using bottle caps as wheels, straws, skewers, a index card, and a balloon. When we first set the car off it kept turning. It would not stay on a straight path. So we adjusted the straws and skewers until they were straight. Another problem was air was escaping out of the the balloon because the tape was not tight enough. By taping the balloon to the straw over and over again it solved our problem and we got our car to go over 5m.
