Join us in Shed 13 at Dock 2 to build and test your own Clipper Cat - a battery-powered catamaran! Two sessions: 10 am - 12pm & 1 - 3pm
Bickfords bottles form the twin hull of the vessel, while a drone propellor - driven by an electric motor - provides the forward thrust. To construct and test this vessel you will:
* build the mechanical assembly using hand tools and a glue gun
* connect the battery pack, switch and electric motor using a soldering iron
* measure the electrical input to the motor using meters
* measure the mechanical output from the propellor using a meter and scales
* run the vessel in our 6-metre, 2-lane water trough - and measure its speed.
Then at home - in bath, pool or pond - experiment with other recycled bottles or containers as hulls.
Suitable for children aged 8 years and older. Tickets $25 each include a $5 discount voucher for an adult to tour the Clipper Ship City of Adelaide (children tour free of charge)
