Hello, this is our project about the Steamboat. Our Team is AFA.
We first made our Brainstorm to know everything about all the obstacles and things we needed
to know before starting the project. Then we made research about the materials
and all the pros and cons we needed to use in the project, and then we used team work
and imagination to build the design of our boat.
We need to use cheap materials, that's why we need low cost. Then, our time is important
because we have a certain time that this boat is due. Then we need to use our communication
to make it better.
After we made the brainstorm we need to consider. The materials that we are going to use is
wood or plastic, depending on the exterior and interior parts of the boat.
We need to have waterproof paint in order that the wood doesn't get ruined by the water.
Nails, copper tubes, alcohol, cotton, the RC control components, and glue.
We needed to get the materials first to know how to get them with low cost, specially to
get things that can be gifted or can be cheaper.
Okay, so here we have our design of our boat. This is the top view and here we can see that
the arrows represent the water flow and this is our steering method, so we can have direction
on our boat. Si if we want to go forward we are gonna have them just like this, so the
water goes by and we are going to go forward. If we what to make a right turn, the water
flow will go like this and eventually turn the boat to the right. And if we want to go
left, the water will flow to the left making the boat also go to the left.
Also so we can steer, Okay. So we can have direction on our boat we are going to have
the RC components. We have here like in a small car. So if we want to turn right, these
are like the tires of the car and they are going to turn this way or this way. Either
way, if you want to go left, both of them go to the left, and below we are going to
have just like that. This is going to help us have more steering when we want to go to
the left or to the right. Here we have the engine. This is pretty basic.
This is our oil so we can light the cotton that is in the copper tubes, so in here is
going to enter water and with the heat is going to make steam.
