It's a putt putt boat that spins in circles, much like my career. ;-) There's about a dozen instructables on taking good close ups with bad cameras.

A few years ago I bought a tiny toy steam boat that uses the same principle from a fair. Makes an incredible sound and moves at nice pace.
Excellent, I love to see revolutionary inventions on Instructables =)
