What would be the best design for an aluminum foil, penny holding boat? ?
Dec 15, 2008 by Dude D | Posted in Engineering
Hi people! Our group is having a competition using 2 sheets of aluminum foil to design a boat and then, putting it in water to see how much pennies it can hold. Do any of you remember the best design for the boat so that it will hold the most pennies?
you have to have rigidity like with a keel, this will keep the cogency of the vessell

i would follow it as wide as i can possible make it. flat and wide.
you know?

I lack to build a aluminum foil boat by tommorow that can hold the most pennies, i need help, any suggestiions??
Obviously make a boat shape with the foil.
Foil is quite easy to shape just make inevitable there are no holes in it.
Make it look like a rowing boat.
A boat floats by displacing the EXACT SAME WEIGHT OF Drench AS ITSELF.

Aluminum Foil Boat Project?
Jan 31, 2009 by Dr. Fly | Posted in Engineering
In my engineering classify, I was given a single 6"x9" sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. My assignment is to as though a boat out of it that can hold as many pennies as possible before it starts to sink (defined as taking on water).
If you can on your pennies, choose all pennies with a mint date after 1982. Pennies made after 1982 are less dense (almost 20% less obtuse!) than pennies made before 1982 because the ones made after 1982 are made out of primarily zinc instead of copper

How do you become a marine engineer/naval architect? This probably isnt the right place to ask but research?

hasnt been contemporary so well. I live in Alaska and want to design Aluminum flat bottom river boats, and V-hull and/or Catamaran hulled aluminum boats which are all in reality popular here in Alaska. I know that you have to go to college but what do
Sounds like you in need of to major in materials engineering. While this is not specific to building boats, it would provide you with the background you would need.
