Put-Put Boats!

We get to put our biodiesel to use! Our next lab was to design a boat with a motor that uses biodiesel. We were supplied with the motor and we used our own biodiesel that we had made previously, so all we had to do was design the boat. We decided to use a half-in-half carton as our boat and the poked holed in the bottom for the motor to go through and then sealed the extra holes with duct tape. After fixing a few leaks our boat worked pretty well! If we got one of the 3 fastest times in our class we would get extra credit! Unfortunately that didn't happen but our boat made it down the track so we got full points!
