      No worries, your paintjob is just as fine @@TheFabrik . Key is the temperature around 20 degrees celcius. Spray two light coats and one final thick coat. And keep the recommended time in between coats as exact as possible. But I guess no news for you.

      @Mariano.Bernacki Год назад +26

      Water in the pan boils, becomes steam, is expelled and propels the boat forward. You now have a vacuum in the pipes and boiler, so water rushes in, is heated, and the cycle repeats. Now you might think that if water is coming in and out that cancels out and so no movement would be possible, but water coming in impacts the boiler front and transfers its momentum, so effectively the water coming in causes no change in the boat's velocity (water comes in, subtracting from the speed, hits the inside of the boiler, adding to the speed, then leaves, adding speed). The ones that have two pipes like this one do not have any water circulation, water comes in and out of both pipes at the same time.

    I was sitting here in Houston, Texas watching this video on You Tube, when I realized my sister and I had one of these boats in the fifties. I contacted her in Bristol England and she vaguely recollected it. Neither of us recalled who gave it to us, or who bought it as we were spending our summer holidays as usual at our grandparents in North Wales.
    The boat we had was silver in colour and didn't work all that well in rough seas, so we only ran it in a large bathtub. The fuel we used was Methylated spirits, though I do have a recall using Mothballs/ Naptha, but that is rather vague.
    Anyway thanks for showing it and bringing back memories of our childhood.

    Protip; take a burnt wick (very short) from a common tea candle, to put in the parafin tub. It will concentrate the heat.

  • @thefez-cat
    @thefez-cat Год назад +1

    The oscillation effect is really neat!
    The engine generates steam in the boiler, which expands and travels down the exhaust pipe (with a pop) that shoves water out of the pipe (or pipes in this design). This pushes the boat forward in accordance with Newton's Third Law. As the boat moves forward under momentum, the pressure inside the boiler drops and sucks water back in (the boiler also contracts, producing another pop). This water is boiled, more steam is produced, and the cycle repeats. It also has to "burp" occasionally to release air accumulated in the boiler (water contains dissolved air).

    This reminded me of one of my favorite anime films from Hayao Miyazaki called Ponyo. A magical tale about a little boy who meets a magical fish and falls in love with her. They have one of these boats--super-sized by magic-- and they use it to sail around trying to find Ponyo's mother. Voices by Liam Neeson, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Betty White, and Tina Fey. Great film. Great restoration.

      @@TheFabrik There’s a metaphor in there somewhere amidst the vinegar baths and sandblasting. Ponyo’s love for his magical friend restored and transformed her. He risked the pop boat journey over the troubled waters to connect with his family and protect his new friend. You take the discarded and broken things in the world and restore them to life with your own special magic and you inspire others to do the same. It’s a noble pursuit.

    Wow, this one is pretty elaborate. I have faint memories of a little tin bathtub boat from my early childhood. I think it ran on a stub of a birthday candle. Much simpler than this one. Thanks and take care.

    Very good video, I like restoration. You can "Sand Blast" with soda bicarbonate. It's mostly dustless and won't pit the blastee. Also, in the 60s I made motor cycles and put sand in the handle bars to bend them without collapsing them. Sand or salt could be used in small things like the putt putt tubes. I have 3 styles of Putt Putts.

    Какие же интересные были раньше технические игрушки.👍 Развивали личность ребенка и давали ему начальные технические познания... А в наше время, технический регламент счел бы её опасной из-за огня, окрашивания и тому подобного.
    What interesting technical toys used to be. 👍They developed the child's personality and gave him initial technical knowledge... And nowadays, technical regulations would consider it dangerous because of fire, staining and the like.
