Code Number: 1N20.40
Demo Title: Pop Pop Boat
Condition: Excellent
Principle: Feynman Reverse Sprinkler
Area of Study: Mechanics
Equipment:
Pop Pop Boat, tank of water, candles, lighter.
Procedure:
See also: 1Q40.85 and 1Q40.90.
Be sure you fill the chamber with water. The operation of the boiler/motor of the boat can be likened to the dynamics of a Feynman Reverse Sprinkler.
