The photo above shows the patch with the timber supports removed
This photo shows the interior before glassing with silicon smoothed over the timber as a release agent
This is the hole with the timber attached to the hull before glassing the gaps were filled with some of the old gunnel timber. More photos will be posted when available. Does any one out there in computer land have any photos of my entry in the solar boat race in Canberra of a few years ago. cheers Stewart

Recycled organic boat part 1

This is the start of a new project, an electric boat from the swamps! Its amazing when you can see good in every thing. Just have ago you will be amazed what you can do. I called this post recycled organic boat as you can see it was over run with organic matter of all sorts. I will post more images as the images become available on this post.

Drought

I lived at Junee when the drought was on, When the farmers came to town the little sparrows (small birds) would hover in front of the cars and have a smorgasbord from the front of the cars. The little insects would be squashed on the cars, They were pretty smart as they only took the ones they liked or the yummy ones. I guess the insects must have different tastes.

Did you know that if sheep are eating during the hot part of the day they are probably starving?

Dry roads

If a air jet were placed in front of all four tyres to blow away water on the road, would it stop the car aqua planing?

submarine

Under water submarine


I found this in a rubbish bin and bought it home it was too good to leave there. I have some spare domes to build another one. It is for sale at the right price. It would be good for underwater inspections as it could be set up to take video of the dive, cheaper than a diver and stay there longer. The previous owner told me it cost in the region of $100,000 to build as it was built for depths of 90 feet. It needs control systems to work the motors that are twelve volts. The metal parts are aluminum. The domes are about 300mm diameter.It has four motors.. cheers Stewart
