Hi my fellow steemians, it has been a long time of me not posting electrical stuff in this
platform. Now I am coming up with an unfinished project, which I have been working on before I was introduced to this platform. The project was on the construction of a speed boat which it's direction can be altered or controlled. As a matter of fact I have been working on it for the past last year, although it isn't wireless because of my limited knowledge in making it wireless.
FULL IMAGE OF MY SPEED BOAT
MATERIALS USED FOR CONSTRUCTION
•Flat wood
•2 DC. Motor
•Superglues
•Pairs of wire (red and black paired together)
•Rubber band
•Scissors
PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION
i) Firstly I cut a piece of wood 15cm long and 8cm wide.
ii) And also I cut the wood also seperatly into parts to match the design of the boat.
iii) In the back of the boat, fixed my DC motor which I insulated with some piece of wood, so as to prevent water entering the motor.
iv) I made a construction on the back of the
boat to ensure that it's balance on the water 💧.
v) on the top of the boat,i constructed a pole with I attached on the top an Led light 💡.
vi) I constructed a object which I attached it to the first motor and to the blade motor. So that when I control the direction of the first motor it will also control the direction of the blade motor.
vii) I connected the terminals of the DC motors and the led lights to a pin out so I can attach the remote pins to them to ensure their easy controls.
PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTION
My purpose of construction was to test my creativity skills. And to try enlarge my knowledge and ideas in the electrical fields.
OBSERVATIONS
i observe that the more the failure I experienced in this construction the more I learn new easier tactic in making that same construction.
ADVICE TO ALL WORKING ON HIS/HER PROJECT
i as a person was never taught electronic or construction by any one with knowledge on that field. Right from my teenager age I loved technology, I am eager to learn but I don't have any to teach me. I did no construction projects in my secondary and primary school because of our limited resources, but still I loved technology. Some might think that it's a lie, but seriously it's the truth. I was inspired by the technology in some films like IRON MAN and J.I JOE and so many others, so I tell myself if they produce this type of advanced technology why can't I make it also. So I strived for knowledge using social media and questions I asked to people with the knowledge of science. I came to know how to apply devices, components (resistors,capacitors etc) when I entered Oko polytechnic. So what I am saying is that, whenever you were giving a project to handle or to get done, keep on pressing to get done no matter the failure which may occur during the process.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This speedboat I made it is not yet complete. I haven't made the remote yet neither tested it if it will work properly, but I have tested it with battery not the remote and it worked perfectly well.
