Reminds me of another one I had as a kid that had a coiled pipe in a boat that heated the water it was floating in with a candle. No steam. just water expansion through thermo syphon effect to push it around. Cheers Rob

Hi Jim. Every year I visit a model engineering exhibition. There's often an old man there selling similar little boats to this call Pop-pops. He makes them out of tin or aluminium cans. They work in a similar way. Take a look on KZbin for Pop-pop or Putt-Putt boats. There are videos showing how to make them. Have fun Jim. Best wishes from Nobby

I've seen those type of steam-powered boats before. They're called "Pop-Pop Boats."

Thanks for the comment, I have a young grandson who will like mucking around with this on the fish pond. We are planning on modifying it to see if we can get it working better......or blow it up and sink it :) - Cheers Jim
