How to make the torpedo

How to make the torpedo

Of course, the mere mortal it is far to famous Tony Starck from the movie "Iron Man" which coped both with the torpedo, and with a ballistic missile as a ball for Ping-Pong … But something and yet is available. To make the torpedo, let and conditionally "real", but nevertheless the torpedo, it is quite real also in house conditions.

It is required to you

  • - plastic bottle;
  • - car tire;
  • - copper wire.

Instruction

1. For this purpose you will need a plastic bottle by volume a liter floor. It ideally. As a last resort it is possible to use also a bottle on one and a half liters. Choosing a bottle, the main thing what it is necessary to pay the attention to, is a sharpness of a nose. It has to have a top as it is possible more sharply. It is guarantee of quality of future torpedo.

2. The second stage – designing of the screw, the main running gear of your torpedo. It is better to make the screw of such material, as well as the main part, that is plastic. Therefore take one more bottle (1.5/2 liters) and cut off at it a bottom. Cut out at dredging of a bottom of a half so that the improvised blades turned out.

3. Then stock up with the special elastic band which is cut out from a car tire. So it will be stronger. This strip has to be about 3 mm thick, and width – from 13 to 16 mm.

4. Do not forget also about small, but very important detail. The copper wire, thickness is no more than 3 mm too. Main rule: it is impossible to wind an elastic band screw too strongly, otherwise it can tear. Wind a finger, it is so more convenient than everything.

5. As spare option it is possible to use a neck from a wire, but it is less effective and will reduce running capacities of the torpedo.

6. In process you will need to cut out flaps, imitating a design of the real torpedo. They are cut out from a sidewall of a plastic bottle. Cut through generally "butylny" case 4 longitudinal cracks. You watch that they were symmetric rather each other. You should not do them too close, otherwise it will break balance.

7. After that ship the torpedo in water and slightly open a cover to let out the excess air. Leave such air bubble that the toy was to a naplav, but the nose was at an angle in water. And forward. Untwist an elastic band, starting the screw, and the torpedo will float.

8. The truth will float it all meter two or three, but these minutes you can stand on a podium near Tony Starck. He can even ask for you the autograph! Do not refuse to it! When still will it meet the same genius, as well as he?!
