200 MPH Plus R/C Cars
Explanation with video:
Here’s the set up, a sleek, long bullet of a radio controlled car powered by nitromethane, attached at the hip by a cable to a central spike and running around a circular track. Odd certainly, but you can’t argue with the results. You can watch the effect of centripetal force elongate the wire as the speed increases.
