Blog Creation By Team

Dear Students

Blog Project

As we continue with this journey of I2E, I would like students in the
teams create a blog for their team.

You may go to www.blogspot.com
to create the blogs.

For a start please let me have the blog name so that I can link to
this main I2E blog.

1. Dementium
2. Anything
3. Give Me Shoemakers
4. Bananas
5. Jeremyteam

One of the main objective is to allow teams to post learning findings
and post solutions of any subject matters.

We will discuss this further when I see you.
Cheers. Rgds

Car Rear Wings


Contribution from Asdf154:

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/four-wheel-drive1.htm

Explanation from Asdf154:


see the wheel slip animation. without the rear wings, the grip would be less, so the wheels slip. with the wings, it pushes the air up, so got downward force on the car (equal and opposite reaction), so the wheels got better grip, so less wheel slip.
