Connection Guide

Instructions:
1. Drag from one contact point to another to connect them
2. The wire strips itself as you pull it
3. Make all three connections below
4. Close the switch to start your car!

Required Connections:
• Battery (+) → Switch Input (RED wire)
• Switch Output → Motor (+) (RED wire)
• Motor (-) → Battery (-) (BLACK wire)

Note: All components are pre-mounted on the car. Just connect the wires!

How Propeller Cars Work

Energy Conversion: Battery provides electrical energy → Motor converts to rotational motion → Propeller creates thrust.

Newton's 3rd Law: The spinning propeller pushes air backward (action), which pushes the car forward (reaction).

Circuit Control: The switch controls when electrical current flows to the motor, giving you start/stop control.

Speed Factors: Motor RPM determines propeller speed, which affects the amount of thrust and car speed.
