steam jet powered boats
This is a two-part activity. Making the steam boiler is the first part. Any aluminium drinks can will do as long as it is not damaged or dented. I have made a wooden press that starts the folded shape and just two bendy straws and some glue are all that is necessary. The hull of the boat can be foil, balsa or styrene. This is the the second part of the activity.
What about somewhere to float the boat ? Previous club meetings provided a table-top solution.
