pop-pop boat test

[masynmachien]

@bassonmyolmonster It wasn't me that started calling the boats with coiled steam engines, just as the membrane type pop pop boats. After probably more than a hundred years, many accept the name "pop pop" for both types. The coiled type too has the typical intermittent propulsion. When it touches the bath sides you actually hear it.

[GerbilEssences]

[voelad]

what age is this girl?

[train2589]

i did that boat off of your instuctions and it kept sinking!

[masynmachien]

Did you follow the instruction  (see link in the description of the video)?

Maybe you can send a video or a picture, so I can see what is wrong?

[Mena142]

Its not a pop pop boat because it doesnt pop ;)

[masynmachien]

In its more than a hundred years of existence the name pop pop has been commonly used for the coiled steam engines also, even as this type do not really pop.

[galenator123]

@Mena142 only some models pop, these use coils of copper so they dont pop but same mechanism

[sonicthehegehog134]

was that girl your kid?

[masynmachien]

@sonicthehegehog134

yes

[roboman79]

I guess it's a steam powered engine?

[masynmachien]

Check the link in the description and you won't have to guess.

No one has yet thought of the engine for a toy boat that I came up with years ago.

the emulsion dispersion engine would be for very small toy boats the size of a match box but would travel much faster than a pop pop.

[masynmachien]

Do you mean something like the campher boats people used to make?

[johnnecron]

I am not aware of a campher boat

[masynmachien]

Sorry, I mean camphor boats. You can find info on them on the internet.

[masynmachien]

This kind of boat (with a coiled engine rather than a soldered "membrane") does not make much sound.

The name pop-pop might be somewhat stretched, but it still belongs to that category of propulsion.

[stirlingsteamboy08]

sound please

[yboben]

what is that stuff that u put in the boat or little candle holder?
