do I need that "handbUch" on composite materials? oh, and that youtube video was kinda off topic, it was a ju87 g stuka (aircraft you might know since it's a German aircraft) man! it is nice... too bad you can't watch it! it was blasting away these boats with it's cannons! ok, ok! here it is! nvm... HAHA!

 

First proposal
engineering will take a week or so, I´m pretty busy currently.

allright. I need to do some online schooling also. I can draw my design on paper, then you could revise it. I would have to scan it though, then email you the design. aso, how do you get an avatar? (that picture next to your name)

 

goofy (the picture) wasting space on Forum server!

Avatar dunno, forgotten that.

site regularly! You may find a 5hp or below, gas fired for next to nothing. (for the next project we need different equipment)
Contact them, be polite, decent, ask for a small 1hp (possibly for free?)
And yes dl Handbuch, its in English too.

YEAHhhh I FOUND A DYNAMO I GIVE YOU THE LINK!!!!!!!!!!! they measure boilers in horsepower? that dynamo (machined one) is 12 volts

Yes these are boilers for industrial use and the landlubbers and non steamers are usually a bit disabled or complete ******, they do´nt know psi or kg steam hr and the like.
If you are really steam infested do not open this link or rummage in that site:

I´ll look for your dynamo.

OK, have seen the site, very nice stuff but toys only and what are we doing with a 10W dynamo? We need 100W! It will be much easier to find a 100 W DC E Motor for almost nothing, than getting toys to propel your boat!

 

I've been to preston services before. they have some nice engines and boilers, even traction engines. I like the first boiler, the coal fired one that is good for steam launches and workshops. I found a good electric motor which might work for a dynamo. heres the link. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=92104 It's 115 volts.

 

I'm looking for boilers.

 

I cannot find a motor, but thats absolutely unimportant. We schould first be focused on finding a suitable boiler. Be patient! I cannot do the design in a few moments. It is senseless to search for items we will probably never use!
Did you open my sketch( pdf)? I´m waiting for yours. Again: be patient.

A helpful tool to calculate with imperial and metric system is: Con soft Multicalc (if you surf European sites you may need it).

I looked at your sketch. I'll send you mine in awhile. this is just the boiler.

 

Here is the boat sketch. Kinda ugly, but simple.

 

The first you posted looked more promising, to be honest.
Think we better use my sketches, especially for the boiler!

I found a good electric boat motor. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...parentType=index&indexId=cat602014&hasJS=trueThat's how the boat's going to look, though. It will have the sides slanting towards the bow.
