Get your wiggle on with a wiggle car
Posted on | January 20, 2010 | No Comments
The plasmacar is also known as a wiggle car, owing to the unique wiggle action used to propel it forward. A simple piece of engineering removes the need for pedals, and places all the power in your hands.
To move forward, you simply wiggle the steering wheel from left to right. Using this action, the plasmacar can reach a speed of 2.8 metres per second, which is over 10km/h. To stop the vehicle, you simply stop wiggling and wait for the car to come to a stop, using your feet to assist if necessary. If you want to put the car into reverse, simply switch the front wheels around so that the larger ones are closest to the front of the car, and wiggle away!
The science behind the wiggle car action is based on the same principles as those used by in line skaters and skateboarders. Skaters repeatedly pull their skates laterally inward in a criss cross action to gain speed.
