Speed boat


Have you ever thaught how a speed boat works, it goes so fast even then it makes perfect coner turns, 360's, and some even
flips!!!
A speed boat fliping over another.


Imagine you makig that, but first lets get the concept:


  • A speed boat needs to be be light to go fast but not to light as they need to be able to turn good and not take off.
  • It also needs to float so the don't sink or force a submerge
  • The shape also really matters as if it has a messed up shape than it wont go fast.

  • We also won't it to look really good it should be painted and for sure their should not any wires hanging out
  • We want this speed boat to consume the most energy possible, but solar or wind energy.
BUT!! that does not mean you ended up making that!

Come on!! We are professional, we want something like this:




Or if not like that, something professional made.


Materials

  • A solar panel

  • A wind mill (panel)

  • 5 sheets of plastic

  • glass

  • paint of your choice

  • motor

  • convertor

  • remote for motor

Different boats have different hulls which is the best.









These are all the different types of huls we can have , need to choice the right one and since these are all speed boat hull, we can just get the best propulsion for any hull. We have different types of propulsion like.








The hull should then be created and the propeller can be bought but should be attached tightly. We can then make the body how every we want but not twice heavier than the hull and propeller.

My reflection


This was one of the best topic I have done in CT as it connects with my other subject (DT) which helped me work harder in both. Using this blog I can remeber my plans for DT and can communicate with my partners. I also learnt a new way on showing a problem and getting help for people. I learnt that work can can be communicated to millions of people through blogs. You can learn from and to others from a blog. We run after facebook and we can do the same thing on a blog. They are easy to craete, and so much easier comparing to a website, to maintain, I also learnt they are search-engine friendly, they can be hosted for free and are very interactive. Thank you for this Unit I had fun and it should be continued to be thaught like this.
