You must live at a very high altitude, or, you are just messing with my head. Here at sea level water boils at 212F and 100C. Good luck with your project anyhow.

how much heat IS REQUIRED to get the boats to move at all?

reason i ask is i was thinking of creating a boat that was powered by a certain plant with root temperatures sometimes reaching 140F, and think it would be pretty cool to have a lil putt putt boat that moved entirely off the heat of said plant

@Xxfades321xX Great idea but you will need a hotter plant. The water needs to boil at a minimum 212F. Thanks for watching.

@PuttPutt4video

thx for the reply!

is 212 the minumum to WORK AT ALL?

honestly i don't care too much if it moves quickly or makes noise, and really i could just plant the plant in a grow bed for a heater but even moving very slowly would be good enough for me:)

@Xxfades321xX The water has to boil to make steam or the pulsing action won't happen and the boat will not move. When the steam condenses a vacuum is created and the cycle then repeats. Maybe you can use your heat to generate electricity. You may google this idea.

i saw string on the front of one of the boat

@jacob12marcelo Yes. They all have tethers to keep them on course in a circle. Did you think they were being towed? They are not.

around here water boils at around 100F, given that i hatched thsi little theory, but thx for the reply anyway, appreciate it:)

@superpeep12 There are lots of commercially made boats available in stores and on the net. I do not sell them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
