Virus Magnetic Propulsion 81 then 75 Grams 4 or 3 neo magnets

This video shows 4 trials with slight variations on the magnetic propulsion boat that works by inertia and turning magnets that interact with Earth's magnetic field (think compass needle on a larger scale).

The 4th trial is best and the boat goes at a top speed of 13.3 inches per minute.

There is a sort of juggling between the power of magnets, their weight, their distance from the boat's center of mass, the speed of rotation and of course the water resistance.

Any thoughts or questions?

Stay tuned:)
