Rubber-Band Powered Altoids Boat

Step 4 Using your Altoids Boat

If your plastic piece fell out put it back in. Once it is in rotate the piece so it gets wound up. Then while holding the plastic piece (Propeller) set it in some water (Bath tub, pool...) and let go! Once it stops Repeat! When your done playing with it dry it really well. Other wise the Altoids tin may rust. Also you can put the plastic propeller thing in the altoids tin so you don't lose is when it is stored. If the popsicles sticks bend a little don't worry it is just the wood getting soft from the water.

If you cut slots in two pieces of plastic and mesh them together to get a cross shaped piece and then use it as a paddle wheel, it will not fall off the rubber band.

Should you leave a few Altoids in the can for balast?

[computergeek]

No. They taste better dry. :-)

So simple and silly that it's great!! Thinking of soap dishes and other things you could use. Great for impressing small children who could make it themselves:¬)
