Part 2 building a pop pop boat

1. You will need a soldering Iron for this step. or something that can poke a very small hole. like a screw driver (small)

2. make a coil out of some aluminum or copper pipeing. You can get this at a hardware store or a hobby shop. 4mm works best. Most people use copper But it realy dosent matter. But, dont use brass tubing! Verry carefully wrap the pipe around the pvc pipe. make shure you have plenty of tubeing they will kink if your not carefull.

3. burn a small hole ware you can wiggle the coil's ends into snugly.


4. put the coil into the two holes.  stick about half an inch of tupe out of the other side. Make a mark inside the boat in the middle of the coils, this is were your heat source will go

5.make a sort of bowl out of the tin foil and glue right on the mark you made

6. so it looks like this.
