A working wind powered boat for challenges #MakeItFloat and #Catch TheWind. Please LAY FLAT and on the platform when printing. When assembled, the wind should turn the turbine and spin the gears which will turn the propeller and provide propulsion. Instructions Please look at all the pictures showing how to assemble the boat! Print one Water Carver Mark 5, three deck gears, a turbine, a propeller, a propulsion gear vertical, a propulsion gear, and propulsion axle. Hot glue the "turbine" to the "turbine gear". The side with the cylinder sticking out should be glued to the top of the gear. Place the gear with turbine in the first hole. Place the second deck gear in the middle hole Place the third deck gear in they third hole of the deck. Hot glue the " propulsion gear(glue) " upside-down on to the back deck gear. 6.Put the the propulsion gear vertical at a 90 degree angle from the upside propulsion gear." Slide the propulsion axle through the vertical hole in the very back of the boat and glue it to the indent on the propulsion gear vertical. Glue the propeller to the axle. Your boat is ready to go.. make the turbine smaller if it is tipping and unbalanced - scale down just the height.
