lol plane I guess you have not read my video descriptions or channel description. Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
The tape is folded in half, so the sticky sticks to itself. That leaves it so we can use it like a piece of string. If you have a piece of string, you could use that instead. The shape of the paperclip in the middle is just a hook for the rubber band. You hook the rubber band in place, tie the "string" to it, attach the string to the back axle by wrapping it around so it goes over itself. That holds it in place. Keep turning the axle to wind more string round it, that stretches the rubber band storing power in it. When you release the axle, the rubber band pulls the string, and that spins the axle. You will find useful links in the video description 👍
Thank you. This video is now 9 years old. There is more information in the video description and I have a channel just for rubber power now - Put a rubber band on it bit.ly/2T3OF4j
can u do a in depth video on how to make this car, Im trying to do it myself and im kinda confused in how to make the paperclip hook and the paper clip berrings.
You may have to slow the video down to watch those sections again to watch them. If I can find the original video clip I will upload it as a helpfile later if I get time. I will add the link here when I have done it.
In the video I tell you it is going 9 metres. Do you have to make a car to this exact specification? If not, there are plenty of other cars in my rubber band car playlists that are easier to make and will go further. There are helpful links in the video description but I will add a few here Rubber Band Powered Car 1 x size 64 - full length video th-cam.com/video/pIO3FiHX4Oc/w-d-xo.html Rubber Band Power Cars th-cam.com/play/PLA5a2xPRSrB3g5RiX8Kf_uUBOL0Tb7AS0.html Put a rubber band on it Cars th-cam.com/play/PL2Aly02Ujr7dtOGW4KA0pWMD3TOB9yhUx.html
+Nash Winter if that is allowed in the specification they yes, that would work. I usually cut strips from balloons or rubber gloves as they stretch nicely round the edge and that helps to hold them in place.

Reena I have over 900 videos on my channel so there are plenty to look at. Unless you have something specific in mind I am afraid 'something awesome' just does not give me enough information.
hi there I was wondering if you could make some kind of radio controlled car using suspension of some sort and try using a ramp to see how far you can jump it.:)
Hi Ronan, thanks for asking but that's not really the sort of project I do. There are plenty of TH-cam channels that focus on 'off road' rc cars so I don't feel the need to get involved in it.
plz can you help me because i need a car made from only carboad,two pencils and on big ruber band and it moves i need it by the 27 march 2015 plz i need your help
its nice to see a channel helping people in trouble
Thanks, I like helping, but I will not do the entire project, just give some tips. You have to learn from your projects by your own efforts.
yes you are right
GrandadIsAnOldMan granddad is this your hobby to make toys for your grandchildren?

The tape part was very confusing and how to bend the paper clip in the middle. I dont get how it goes foward.

Here you are. The original video clip at normal speed th-cam.com/video/HD6YKMb4I_E/w-d-xo.html
how long does this take
Maybe a few hours, I didn't time myself. Cutting the wheels is the hardest part.
ok thanks
do u think this rubber band car could go 7 meters
It does 9 metres in the video.
Very good
How far does it go?

just get wide rubber bands that go around the back wheels as tyres

U shud use Some sandpaper for grip IF its a glad concrete
+OMGitsKARKAT I haven't tried sandpaper, but I wouldn't want to on my floor as it may damage it. As you say on a concrete floor it may be OK.
