make kids electric car go faster image
TenMan
You know, you probably got one when you were a kid or your child asked for one (depending on our age). So its a hard plastic race track that you plug into the wall, with normally two grooves in it to place the cars that have little needles coming out the bottom. I have no clue where to place this question, if you have a better idea let me know.
Answer
The cars have little electric motors. The power for the motors comes from the track. On either side of the guide slot in the track are metal strips that carry the electric current. The car has a pin that goes in the slot, but that is just to guide the car. There are a pair of metal tabs or brushes on either side of the pin. These tabs come in contact with the metal strip in the track and pull the power from the track to run the motor. The amount of power going to the track is controlled by a hand-held throttle control. The more power the faster the car will go. If the car loses contact with the metal strips in the track, the motor stops.
All of this power is low voltage DC current so is harmless if you touch the metal track strips.

What are some good foods to bring for a long road trip?
Q. My kids and I are moving permanently to San Diego from Alaska and driving the whole way as non-stop as possible. I just want to know what are some good foods to bring or cook and bring for the move to San Diego because I don't want to spend too much money at restaurants. Do you have any suggestions or recipes? My four kids are all teenagers.
Answer
Your getting great ideas here, let me add one.
We refer to some types of food as JAW food, just add water. And they include everything from instant soups and oatmeal, cous cous, hot drinks, cup 'o' noodles. gather up all your JAW food, usually it doesn't need refridgeration and won't go bad. then invest in one of those super fast teapot water heaters that plug into your car lighter. or you could splurge and get an inverter for your car and then you could run electric applicances off your car battery (yup, like a coffee pot, hot plate and laptop) they aren't too expenisve and being able to use electric applicaes on a long trip can be great!
Some of my other favorites are jiffy pop on a campfire. I carry V8 in cans cause I know I don;t tend to eat enough veggies on a road trip. Drinks like ensure can help a lot and again don;t have to be refidgerated, but you'll want at least one cooler with ice to chill them before you drink. Dry meat, salmon strips and crachers are filling. And although its not 'real' cheese it travels great, velveta. Nuts and trail mix are filling and take up less space then bags of chips. Also scam a supply of little ketchup, mayo, mustard, soy sauce, whatever condimnets you use from restruants before you go, they travel better then the big full jars.
Also for cheap eats, roadside farmers markets and food stall can be great finds. Avoid gas stations, they are over priced and carry junk. And with a little time online you might be able to find fairs and festivals along your way, they would make a nice rest stop and usally have all kinds of interesting, cheaper the restaraunt foods. And in a pinch you can always eat for free on Sundays at any Hari Krishna temple.
