How do I keep this foam electric fan-boat boat from sinking?
I've attempted to make a small electric fan-boat, around 9 cm wide, 32 cm long, powered by a 9 volt electric battery connected to an electric motor. The fan mechanism works fine, and the boat can keep itself floating. However, whenever I attempt to put on the battery while the boat is in the water, it tips over. Is there any way that I can modify the boat so that this does not happen?
The boat is made of all Styrofoam, with two cylinders holding up a square body. The fan, which is connected to the motor, is placed slightly elevated above the rest of the base of the boat with a small half circle stand, hot glued to it.
Any advice would be great. Thank you.
2 AnswersEngineering7 years agoAtheists and Christians, why hate each other when you could hate everyone else together?
Listen, this is a plea to both believes and non believers. I beg you, stop the flaming, and the trolling, and the insults towards each other. Don't you all see how similar you both are.
Christians, your history, our history, has been surrounded by discrediting others of different faiths.
Atheists, you love to do the same!
Christians, you're trying to get others to believe their faiths are incorrect.
Atheists, you're trying to get others to believe their faiths are incorrect, and there are a lot more faiths to attack than the Christian faith.
Imagine it, zealously and uncaring realism, working together to piss off everyone else.
I ask you, will you not set aside your differences and fight against a common enemy?
Christians, remember the Good Samaritan.
Atheists, remember the Alamo.
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoWhy have we not formed a religion that promotes scientific discovery on a grand scale?
I'm looking at this from an objective position. I have my own religious beliefs, but I am going to look at this question from a different view.
It's obvious that faith and science haven't always gotten along. There are religious people who promote scientific discovery, of course, but whenever you hear about the two things in media, it's always how they're at odds with each other.
So why has there not been a religion that specifically focuses on advancing science? Scientific advancement being its main drive. One could argue that since scientific research is centered around proof, and religion is centered on belief and faith, that the two can't work together. Now I disagree. Imagine if there was some sort of new religion that popped up that worshiped a higher being, and in their beliefs the higher being's greatest command is that humans need to perfect medical science to no one needs to die and paradise can come to earth, or that humans need to colonize space because the higher being is waiting for them. Imagine all the benefits of scientific advancement combined with the strength of religious zeal.
I'm just saying, it might be interesting.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoAny Ideas what this dream might mean?
Alright, I'm not a huge believer in dream interpretation, but I had a very interesting dream a little while ago and maybe some of you fine folks would like to check it out.
I admit, I don't remember much, but I'll try my best.
I was staring at a woman, black hair, black thick rimmed glasses, pale skin. She was standing behind something, a bar counter perhaps. I had never seen this woman before in my life, but I was infatuated with her. Something was wrong though. Somehow I had learned she wasn't actually her own person. She was some sort of shell or avatar for someone else. I did not know who this someone else was, but I did not like their plans and knew that trying to get close to this woman was a bad idea. Despite this, I found it difficult to resist this attraction.
In the corner of my eye was a window or some sort of portal. I could look through it, but not interact. In this window, I saw a blond woman holding a knife, approaching a man tied to a chair. The window then cut to the metal of the knife, and small orange symbols began to float around it. They looked like half circles with lines protruding out of them, like a euro but with only one line.
The only other thing I can remember was that somewhere in the dream there were other men, or perhaps the spirits of men, along side me. We were working together, trying to survive something. I don't know what.
So...any idea if this could represent anything?
2 AnswersDream Interpretation8 years agoHow to love a time traveler?
If you read my last update, you would know that I face possibly being stuck in a time loop.
So to help me out, I called upon the help of a time traveler to teach me how to escape time paradoxes properly and such.
But the thing is...I think I might love her.
I don't know why but it feels like I've seen her before, like were were together in a past life or something.
But I don't know what time travelers like, or if they even can love.
Maybe I just need to learn some dating advice but...is there anything specifically for picking up time travelers?
3 AnswersMythology & Folklore9 years agoTrapped in a time paradox?
Sorry it's been so long since my last update
I think I'm in a bit of a **** pickle here.
That crowed I was telling you about, the ones who are all "evil" and ****, yeah, well they're pissed!
Ok, they're talking about trapping me in a ******* time paradox or some ****.
I don't know the details but they want me in a time loop separated from the rest of the time stream.

5 AnswersMythology & Folklore9 years agoHow can I get away from this crowd?
After I got into a little trouble with these "demon police" guys, this group of odd balls have found me. They think what I did was "cool", and now they're pushing me to hand out with them all the time. They seemed alright, and they had some pretty smoking ladies hanging out with them, but now I see how they're connecting to this whole creepy *** spirit world. They're into the whole demon cult, Lovecraft monster, Gothic clothing type ****. I'm into the paranormal myself, but let's just say these guys are on the darker side of the moral choice system. I'd just leave if I could, but these people seem to be the type that enjoy putting ancient curses on traitors, and I don't want to end up with a third leg growing out of my face. Is there anyway I could, I don't know, destroy them with a spell, or perhaps get them to forget about my existence?
3 AnswersMythology & Folklore9 years agoHow to escape from Underworld Police?
I recently defeated a psychic in mental combat (thanks so much guys, because of you I was able to win), but now he's gone and summoned some demonic hunters after me. Apparently there is a massive underworld society I haven't even scratched the surface of. Now I think they're trying to take me down to some prison or something, it's insane. Is there any way I could shake them off or maybe get them civil enough so they can listen to my side of the story and leave me alone?

3 AnswersMythology & Folklore10 years agoCrab Meat: A question of the human mind?
It was two days ago. I was sitting in my boat, watching the classic movie "The Room" by Tommy Wiseau. Suddenly, the waves began to pick up, and a dark cloud slowly covered the sky. I thought this day would never come, but it did. I didn't know what to do, I grabbed my harpoon gun and held it steadfastly in my cold, shaking hands. Emerging from the dark sea from bellow was your momma.
