Bobcat Gaming asked Can you make rubber band powered air boat so I modified the balloon powered boat I made for him last night. Note: Potentially DANGEROUS use of steam is shown.\r
Here is the balloon powered boat \r
\r
Most people seem to want these projects to go a certain distance so getting it to turn around the edge of the bath was an afterthought. At the very start of the video you will see it goes dead straight and is still accelerating when it hits the end of the bath. The propeller is wider than the hull so when it runs around the narrow end of my bath it hits the sides and pushes the back out. If I widened the back of the boat to clear the propeller it would probably run round with no trouble.\r

Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick.\r
