DIY ECONOMIC MOTOR BOAT (with Step by Step Images and Video)
summer is coming so is the fun for making the beachside/swimming pool fun I've developed a controlled motorboat that can be made with scrap items! so what are you waiting for, let's jump into the steps !!!
Supplies
things you need:-
1) n20 motor + prop
2) Thermocol (Polystyrene)
3) hobby knife
4) cycle spokes
5) lipo battery from old phone or any light weight cell
6) alpin(paper pin)
7) wires
8) soldering iron
9) glue
10) tape ( for decor)
Cut a Foam & Draw
first cut a foam board of 23cmx10cm and draw an intersecting line s use the measurements as shown in the pics ( 8 cm from the top).
DRAW AGAIN AND CUT
Draw an rough arc as shown and then use a hobby knife or any sharp knife to cut the arc. Now sand the periphery and make the sharp edges curvy for stability while floating
Motor Mount From the Cut Piece
we are here using and utilizing the waste material as much as we can so that it can be a ZERO WASTE project.
now cut the remaining from the boat foam arc. Slice the sharp edge from the top to provide motor a base and support for mounting.
Glue It
glue the mount first .
TIME FOR ELECTRONICS !!!
First solder wires to motor .
then to a DIY Switch made from alpin (paper pin ) as shown in pic.
then solder battery.
Glue Again !!!
now glue the whole electronic assembly and check is everything working fine or not.
Add a Fin
now its time to add a fin to control the motion of our boat.
we will make it through cycle spoke or any hardwire (paper clip).
Now to make a frame , take a wire as mentioned above take a nose plier to bend it in the above dimensions ( all dimensions are in mm in vernier caliper )
take any cardboard or corrugated sheet of plastic. insert the frame.
DECORATE IT !!!!!
tape it with multi colors and decorate it as you want. And yeah don't forget to write your name and like the post and do post your boats, I love to see them too. Upcoming projects gonna more awesome, So stay tuned!!!
