Steam Jet powered experimental boat -Model Boat Mayhem

@mathem001 , if u attach copper tubing to the exhaust and aim the steam deeper in the water you will get more power and lose less

ok this makes me want to make a minature hydroplane....

Gee, that's a lot of hissing and sputtering for not much forward motion. 8-)

A while ago there was something about a full size boat using a steam driven eductor-jet pump- [Design has a patent on it].

Your boat doesn't seem to condensing very much of the steam, so it's generates only a little momentum from the low density steam despite steam 's hight speed. If you can expand the steam down to a point where all steam gets condensed underwater, you should get much better thrust. ie convert more of the steam's internal energy to KE

Also lookup propulsive efficiency

Kids used to play with these in the 1800s.

Go Putt Putt/Pop pop! I bought a titanic pop pop boat yesterday off ebay :D

Heheheh--you'd be better off blowing on a turbine and driving a prop if you have a real boiler on there. Those putt-putt steam boats actually pump water through them. Lots of bang for a little tiny buck.
