This Fifth Grader Is Smarter Than You: Builds His Own Air Powered Car

This kid (and his father, you know his dad helped) built this freaking sweet air car.

All that and catchy music. It also looks like it uses a fair amount of bicycle parts, making it even cooler. I wish I had learned how to weld in fifth grade. According to the Youtube page it can go about half a mile and goes about 9mph, not going to change the world, but still pretty awesome for a fifth grader. My science fair project in fifth grade was a stupid volcano made with vinegar and baking soda. To my credit it did have a cut away model showing the magma chamber, but still it was no air car.

  1. wow, cool project!
    At least you got the volcano thing, in my case I only got to knit a pair of slippers when I was in 5th grade!
    Not bad for cold days, though…

    Do we know what does the father of the kid do for living? prolly an engineer which would explains where this kiddo got the inspiration. He seemed well-informed on the jargon. I just can say, amazing; amazing that children are waking us up. I wish we are still on time…
    Thanks for sharing this!
