    Pop Pop Submarine

    This has got to be a first. Just when you thought you had seen everthing!!
    I found this while searching the web today.
    Not much else to do lately as the Dr's have me doing basically nothing.
    I bet a lot of you guys had a Pop Pop or Put Put boat when you where a kid.
    You put a small candle under the little boiler and the boat went Pop Pop Pop Pop as it moved through the water.
    Well I found this site, one of the yahoo groups that has a PopPop group.
    There is a guy that is big into designing them and he built a PopPop submarine.
    I have posted two photos of it. It is 2' long. It basically runs with half of the sail under water.
    You can see the engine in the photo looking down the sail.
    This is just so cool and out there I had to post this. BD.

    Hey BD,
    Really just a putt putt boat with a sub like hull around it. Now if he could get it to dive..... What a bear to keep the candle lit under water.
    Now there's your next challenge BD. Think about that, if the Dr. lets you.
    Take care big guy. Hope to see you around the pond soon.
