That's a quick one!

[GEILEJOOST]

nicee,

but one question were do you get that pipes?? u got as axhaust,

plz reply,

greetz,

PS. good vid :)

[jds44]

The pipes are made from 1/8" steel pipe, I made another one and used just regular 1/8" copper water pipe.

[Chondoman]

@GEILEJOOST Dude its made out of soda can carton and straw

[StoneBoneAndFire]

Yay I got one of these bought it at Glastonbury festival years ago, mine must of been delux as it's got a small metal flag on the front :)

[onesmartkid]

how is the cycle so fast on those compaired to self made ones?

[jds44]

These toy boats have a "springy" steel side on the "boiler". It flexes as the boiler cools and heats. It makes a noise simular to a empty pop can. Most home made ones use a copper coil for the boiler and it does not flex.

[zdanz25]

@jds44 can u post a vid on how to make the whole engine? nice bitheway

[RJMC07]

i have the excat same boat there relli good

[guitarsncarz]

did you sand off the top paint layer to get that cool tin look?

[jds44]

No....It's actually bare tin, this is a cheap one and they only add a splash of paint. There are some like the Titanic that are fully painted

[weetnietgeen]

wow, gimme the link for the titanic one =P

[jack9102]

the smaller the pipe diameter, the faster

[jeffr890]

I am always amazed at how people can make interesting toys out of the basic concepts of physics. Excellent! Thanks for posting.

[matt94lol]

you can make 1 i guess...or just buy it..lol :)

[PhilipGriffin1234]

I've had one of these for a couple of years now. I bought it for about £5 at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. However near constant use at times, on the pond, has taken its toll, and the small boiler has sprung a leak. :[

Hopefully I can repair it over the summer.

[needfordeerhunter]

my boat did the same thing so me and my dad tried to soder it shut and of course it didnt work

[sk8er9demon]

how does it work?

[yonaoimete]

To me, this video is very much nice. Thank you very much. I bought the same one when I was 6-year-old. I want to buy one again. I'm going to Ebay.Thank you again.

[MauriceFlower]

Yes, I also had one when i as a boy. I want one now again, being 50 years of age! :-)

I like the simple technic, the fire burning and the sound. Cute.

[OddlyEntertaining]

Wow!!!! As a steam fanatic I must ask how can I get one???

[jds44]

A guy on Ebay sells them, just type in putt putt boat.
