Our last project was “rubber band powered rowing boat”, today we are going to discuss how to replace the rubber band of the boat with electric motor to make “electric powered rowing boat”. There are some advantages with electric motor boat than rubber band powered boat. Always you need to re-wind your rubber band again and again to give power to your boat. But with electric motors you can sail your boat until its battery gets dead. Also you can introduce some remote controlling mechanisms like radio controlled rowing boat, IR controlled boat …etc when you place electric motor to your boat. So first we will look how to replace the rubber band with small electric motor. For this you can use small DC motor if your boat is small. If your boat is little large, find little large motor.
