Twin-Engine Speed Boat

It is a very cheap self-made motor boat. It cost less than 8 bucks, and it gave me a lot of fun. I used lots of recycled materials for this boat. It only took me few hours to finish it. I tried it in a local lake. It is on the water, and moving smoothly. The speed is ok, same with ducks'. I called it Twin-Engine "Speed" Boat.

I think, for a long term project, I can make a remote control for this boat, so that I don't need to tie a string on it, and pull it back, like flying a kite.

Anyway, share some photos with you, and the bad quality video at the end.


Print and cut out the image of the prop.

Use the soft drink can to make the prop.

Use the super glue to install the prop on the motor.

They are twin.

Connect with the battery holder. (Two AA batteries for each motor.)

Make the body.

Engine stand.

Looks not bad.

Connect two pieces with chopstick.

Done.

Tried in the lake.

It's just fun in this nice summer!!!
