physics steamboat experiment

Heres my attempt to make a simple steamboat for my physics class.It hardly moves but this is just a clip of how it looked when i tested it. It didnt move as fast because the mass of the boat was large and the tiny engine made of a candle and 1/8 copper tubing filled with water inside it.I used a medicine bottle for the boat, 1 foot of 1/8 copper tubing, black electrical tape, and small candle

heres the link to the website where it will tell you about it http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/thermo/thermo.ht
