Recently my girlfriend's dad asked me if it was possible to make a fire powered boat. What he suggested was that a fire be made on a (thick) plank of balsa wood. The fire would be then incased around a chimney (with an air opening obviously).
The chimney's hole would then not be directed upwards but rather sidewards. Would the air draft created by the fire be able to create directional thrust to move the boat?

Does anyone have any other simple ideas on how to make a fire powered boat? ie: not a steam engine, rocket motor, combustion engine, etc.

Thanks
H

This is kind of a spring off question...to a question I just answered...the question was posed as this...If the nazi were to come back today only they were going after people of your religion...would you deny your religion?? A lady answered that she would lie to save the lives of her children...so I am wondering, how many other people in 2006 feel this way? (I have no children...so I am curious)

I recently read a comment that baffled me. Someone explaining about seeking more information said "I wouldn't be rude & insult her practice"... Why on earth would it be "rude or insulting" to tell your doctor that you've researched the medication and you're not interested in taking it? Speak up to your doctor --- lord knows a lot of them need to know that they don't know everything.

...To Iraq? So do I! Now that the country's safe, thanks to the excellent strategies of the US army, I feel secure in travelling and being part of the new, democratic country!

Lets go to Baghdad right now! After all, what better place to join in and defend democracy?!?!?

why is it guys can be all like "nothings wrong" and not talk to you -- like REALLY talk to you for days... but if you try it.. its a mortal sin? Is he pushing me away, or having a silent temper tantrum or does he just not like me anymore... what do I make of this voluntary lack of communication on his part?? I love him, and i dont know what to do.

I have a friend who is getting married who's fiance's best man just got sent to Iraq. They are looking for a way to honor him during the ceremony. The following are some suggestions I thought of, if anyone thinks of any other ideas, please post them. Thanks!

*If not having anyone else stand in, just have a picture of him on a podium next to the groom. Not leaning too much this way though because it seems more like a memorial.

*Have someone else stand in but include the original best man in the program and the reason he could not be there.

Any other thoughts? Thanks!

I had a cop tell me "let's call it 98 mph". Luckily I got slowed down a little before he clocked me. Cost me over $500.00 though and yes....yes, I deserved to pay every penny.
