Bargain Store Project Supercapacitor Water Jet Boat

Bargain Store Project Supercapacitor Water Jet Boat. One of my old style projects where I buy a cheap item from a bargain store and modify it to do something it wasn't originally intended to do. This is a toy boat powered by a pull-back motor and I will modify it to be electric powered using a 3.7 volt coreless motor and a 2.7 volt 10 Farad supercapacitor. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or checkout my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Main components - £2 toy boat from The Works 3.7 volt coreless battery purchased from eBay 2.7 volt 10F supercapacitor I am not endorsing these products I am just answering the questions people have asked. I suggest you do your own search as the prices and specifications will vary and my links will probably be out of date when you come to read this. For the electric motor I suggest you search for 3.7 volt coreless motor. Here is an example listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301887440990 The 2.7v 10F supercapacitor in this video was purchased via eBay on this link and cost me £5.66 for 2 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251694354652 I also buy supercapacitors from Maplin Electronics http://www.maplin.co.uk/c/components/capacitors/super-capacitors Main Tools - Screwdriver Drill Soldering Iron Hot Glue Gun Filmed using Canon Powershot SX60 HS Edited using Serif MoviePlus X6 Here is a selection of related playlists and links Bargain Store Projects /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0ZqYUdxXaQaJdg-cs3dKIi Toy Boats playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB24vUS9E8zkSgjZysEL00zr Water Jet power /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0pfu5VQgMPzOrChJKi6De4 Water Jet Boat - Grandad's Junk Pile Projects #6 playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB0hOPEGWOYVtrLzBmgNTI09 Basic PowerUp playlist /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB30sLbx339Y5Z3s47r_TpIo Supercapacitor planes /playlist/PLA5a2xPRSrB1wNvirrwAn69eo_pM0tdEM Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercapacitor Helpfile - Simple Supercapacitor charger /watch/e6KF1xGAewPc9ZyJMxv0v2BrSRPx2a5ALP=tsil?IUSOZ26cOdtcF Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercapacitor Capacitors vs Batteries video by Ludic Science /watch/U1pB31-icNLiB I have thousands of videos on YouTube covering a wide range of subjects.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
