This is a video that has pretty much everything you need to know about pop-pop boats, everything from how to get them going to how to finish using them.
I have also included a short clip at the end that shows you how to use them with Oil.
If you want to attempt to make one yourself, this is the tutorial that I used to make one (the one that I made did not work as well as the ones that are in the video, I got those off eBay).

I'm 45 years old and just this morning have heard of these. My right leg was crushed and put back together with plates , rods , bolts. Also several back surgeries. The point of the medical history is that now I spend lots of time soaking in hot water for relief. These lill boats would be great entertainment for an old cripple to play with while in the tub. I realize they're made for kids ,but so are motor scooters and women's boobs but men still love playing with them as well.

Didn‘t take a second until I had Ponyo in my mind 😄 one of our family favorites next to Totoro, Princess Mononoke and all the other great ones 😄

@saltee7 5 лет назад

That’s why I came here, haha

@Bobo0818ml 4 года назад

That’s how I got here I searched up how to candle boats work

@ವಾಸುಕಿ 10 лет назад

A toy that brought a lot of excitement in the childhood. :) It's still very exciting to see it moving that fast while powered by such a small source of energy. Thanks for sharing.

@Jude4x4 12 лет назад

2:06 MADE IN INDIA!! it put a big smile on my face.

@6T8LEGION 12 лет назад

This is by far the most coolest toy! this is something that you can share with your sons or daughters and actually have fun with. thank you very much for sharing.

@Mryamahaz71 Год назад

My uncle bought these for my brother's and I from Lee Valley tools 25 years ago best Christmas gift ever!

@terryyouth 9 лет назад

1.49:: made in india!! it used to sell for Rs5.00 25yrs ago

@nomaddrives 6 лет назад

Still available for 75 at a fair... Get it for less if u bargain.

@chatrapathiraj4264 5 лет назад

Yes very nostalgic we get from 5 rupees

@indianboy8299 5 лет назад

Bhai aap abi bhi bhejte i want it

@chatrapathiraj4264 5 лет назад

SAMAY BADAM ohh bro I get one from eBay for my son 😂😂

@daemonwhitebeard6590 5 лет назад

It would be way less expensive to build one out of a soda can or two. Plus, you can truly say it is yours.

@Barnekkid 14 лет назад

Those things have been around for a long time. The ones I saw as a kid were smaller. Thanks for sharing that.

@mac28x 3 года назад

what a throwback, had a red one years ago🥺

@virenramchandani6113 3 года назад

Awesome! Good to see physics at work!

@kieranbull8196 8 лет назад

Loved these as a kid, I built mine and ran them on kerosene for a more supercharged effect.

@modelrc9500 7 лет назад

Kieran Bull xD you must of had a crazy childhood

@rexjolles 4 года назад

I bet you were the same kinda kid who put a bunch of match heads in a nail sized hole and hit a nail into them. They always made that uber- loud gunshot sound haha

@rexjolles 3 года назад

Yeah

@rexjolles 3 года назад

Last summer I got the brilliant idea to make a gun with some copper tubing, a clothespin and some wood. Spent a lot of time, months making it. And I used match heads as ammo and almost blew my head off but I was ok 😂

@Simonsays7258 6 лет назад

I have never heard of this before in my entire life! What!? It's so stupid, simple, cool! It's amazing! I love it. I can't believe I didn't do this when I was a kid...🤗

@nomaddrives 6 лет назад

🤗🤗🤗. Its just the best.

@pablopicasso6699 9 лет назад

Also, when you dry the exhaust system, would it be worth shoving a pipe cleaner type thing down to try and dry it a little better? To stop the rusting maybe.

@lakshayhot 12 лет назад

I remember when I used to play with it all the time. Thanks for making the video and bringing back the old memories. Going to India in a month and gnna buy some aha for literally 50 cents.

@SayanKrde 8 лет назад

Its leading me towards my childhood days ^_^ ..used to play with pop pop boats of several colors :))

@kyle85941 12 лет назад

I wish we played with toys like this when I was younger, I found my grandfathers from about 1919, and it still works perfectly :D

@urapieceofcrud 15 лет назад

JEEZ you can never be bored with all these vids!

@iammuthu0 13 лет назад

@seterry actually its by the water expanding to steam that cause the popping sound

@GoldenHay1 8 лет назад

I like it, because it uses steam and because it is so very simple.And simple is always good.Someone should build a life size one!

@-pyrosef- 8 лет назад

+LineoLemon Ehh, compared to other fuels, steam is very costly and not that efficient. Water has a property that makes it able to absorb alot of heat before transitioning to a new state of matter. ie it takes more energy to heat up water by 1 degree than it takes to heat up alcohol by the same amount. But on the other side water is a good insulator!

@GoldenHay1 8 лет назад

Stephen Fabiano Atomic plants use steam to power turbines, which then produce electricity.

@-pyrosef- 8 лет назад

Do you know in which way they create the steam? One of the most common of nuclear reactors is the Light Water Reactors (LWR) which *solely* relies on a constant flow of water to absorb the massive amounts of heat that fission produces. (which backs up the point of why water is a good insulator) This water turns to steam and then instead of wasting potential energy they run the steam through turbines to make the whole process more efficient. They dont use steam because they prefer it, they choose it cause its a free bi-product But you had a good notion, not many people know things like that. I'll provide a citation just in case you wanna look into it. ieer.org/resource/factsheets/types-of-nuclear-reactors/

@-pyrosef- 8 лет назад

But for these type of projects i think steam is fucking awesome. I was only talking practical efficiency lol. I'm in the process of making one of these too, just need to make a boiler.

@ManuelAlejandroAlma 12 лет назад

@mahela1993 Well the boiler is made from a soda can. It's just a bunch of folds, glue, and bendy straws. then you just put it on a homemade boat.

@munkylad545 15 лет назад

it work by the water droplets in the boiler and when it boils, it begins to fill with steam and makes the steam release through the pipe.

@jsb6jsb12 13 лет назад

@iammuthu0 no i have one its because of the metal expanding and contracting because of the pressure of the steam. the boilers are so thin on the top layer for that reason so when it expands cause of the pressure it drags water inside the boiler. make the same noise when you push a dent in a can and then pop it out. you know that sound that annoys everyone

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

It sucks up water and then the candle heats up the water in the boiler witch makes it turn to steam, so that forces the water out the tubes witch propels the boat forwards, then the steam cools down and turns back into water and sucks more water into the boiler and it happens over and over again.

@darcyleepearson4416 8 лет назад

just a thought!, fuel wise have you tried alcohol gel or a piece of esbit tab :)x

@samlikesgrapes 13 лет назад

Thank you SO much for your video. It helped us relive our childhood. =)

@rogerlaing4405 10 лет назад

So what would happen if you set them off in a hot bath? would they still work?

@DarylFosterPuttPutt4Video 10 лет назад

Yes they will work in hot water though close to boiling would cause a problem as the steam made by the boat has to condense to continue the cycle.

@DarylFosterPuttPutt4Video 10 лет назад

Roger. Actually there is quite a lot more to know about pop pop boats than what is in this video, particularly if you want to build one that is fast, dependable and will not easily break.

@rogerlaing4405 10 лет назад

Daryl Foster Yea about the hot water thing... I though it might have some trouble.. You should post videos of near-boiling water and of near freezing water! that would be cool

@kingmuimui1 13 лет назад

I use a little blob of Sterno on my pop-pop. Works nicely and with no wick.

@wtfisgoingon13 11 лет назад

im addicted to these things they are truly epic just bought myself 2 of them planning on making a few also more people need to know about these

@Vakito227 11 лет назад

Nothing better than sailing a pop-pop boat in the chocolate river :3

@qualitatserzeugnis 13 лет назад

great tutorial for beginers like me!! I am wondering if a single channel proportional radio control and servo is installed for the rudder,,, in a bigger pool a small race seems to be great fun !!!

@JulianRTunni 11 лет назад

if you were a kid with no tv, no phone, no computer, nor internet to watch this video, surely this boat would be fascinating. nothing surprises today.

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

I thought about that but the problem is, is that you would never be able to heat up the water in the boiler fast enough for it to flash to steam.

@KysonMuh 13 лет назад

@krdlll they both lead into the boiler whitch is hollow it's like 2 tubes that go into a closed furnise if you blow in one realy hard where's it gunna go? Out the other tube.

@KysonMuh 13 лет назад

my pop pop boat gets here tomarrow or friday! you rock!

@chintanshroff8806 8 лет назад

Speed and voice is awesome

@citizenhumanbeing 15 лет назад

i use to buy these back at home in INDIA for less than 5 cents a peice...candles included :P saw the tag ......its poor mans toy..and i love it!!

@ManuelAlejandroAlma 12 лет назад

I love making these with soda cans! so much fun :D

@MIXMasterRPG 13 лет назад

do u use your jet flame lighter to light the candles if u did it would be pretty cool

@LASERPHASERMEN 11 лет назад

When i was 4-6 years old there alot people who sell this even they sell the model that have turret that actuly working but now is xtreme rare i love old days

@DavidRuland 11 лет назад

A good trick when using olive oil: Wipe the underside of the boiler and the top with dish soap. That will enable you to wash the soot off easily.

@sacura605 12 лет назад

thats so cool! does it kep on running til the candle goes out or it runs out of water?

@cream10451 13 лет назад

@KneeGrow214 You just made me wonder about that. how much material will be needed to create one about 12 feet long and 6 feet wide.

@runescapepowas 14 лет назад

@DuctTapeMaker ebay its in the description of one of his other videos about pop pop boats

@KysonMuh 13 лет назад

Dude you rock!!!!!! I loved them after this vid and got my dad to buy me one!!! I subscribed rated 5 stars and everything I can do to help your vid thanks again!!!!!!!!! You rock!!!! I am getting a boat just like your green one but blue and an eye dropper with 3 candles and candle holder and some wick and I watched your other video and now I know how to make the candles! Dude your awsome!!!!!!!

@RoboTekno 10 лет назад

Very interesting design. What's the reason for having two tubes? Could it function with just one tube? This engine reminds me of a valveless pulse jet engine.

@GallifreyCovers 10 лет назад

The water goes in one end and out the other. It's just a single tube in a U shape.

@forresttrenaman 14 лет назад

They last as long as the candle dose, so if you have more candles you can run the constantly for hours.

@ProlificInvention 5 лет назад

Someone needs to scale these up 😂 like *colinfurze*

@joeyporto2461 4 года назад

Prolific Invention seriously though

@klalrinchhana5680 4 года назад

Like ponyo

@gizmo664100 13 лет назад

dude this is so cool I was just randomly searching vids and found this and as soon as I saw your vid I was like I have to get some. where and how much

@KysonMuh 13 лет назад

@kellyboilin I know but the ones you make are hard to make and they don't have a candle holder or anything I just want to have the fun of setting it up and watching it zoom around with my dad

@jetguy1205 12 лет назад

Which one of these boats do you think is the fastest also where did you buy them.

@oldnoname12 13 лет назад

@timjameson88 that depends on your wick, it will run as long as the fire lasts

@KysonMuh 13 лет назад

With the olive oil do you have to dip the wick in wax like the candles? And where do you get wick? Besides candles.

@Utkarsh_mba 2 года назад

I have made it three year ago, it runs. And today in class 11 th iam making it as my school project I have deep afection with small motor and pop pop boats ⛵

@hitesh_blues2353 6 месяцев назад

Hello! Where did you get these boats? I see on the under side of green boat it says Made In India. Please let me know, thank you.

@Danielkwalsh 12 лет назад

Shouldn't you be able to fill it at a lake WITHOUT an eyedropper simply by submerging only one of the tubes into the body of water (holding the boiler underwater)? The water would enter the tube due to the difference in pressure, and the air would exit through the other tube.

@godofallpenguins001 15 лет назад

dude, this is pretty slick. how long do they normally go for?

@daemonwhitebeard6590 5 лет назад

Those pop pop boats are funny as hxll! Never seen one until now!

@seterry 13 лет назад

@boomerangfreak that's the metal expanding and contracting.

@buzzler745555 13 лет назад

so it stops when theres no more string left or the fire is put out

@raidercs6 15 лет назад

how do you get back the boat if it gets out to far at a lake or pond

@loribit85 14 лет назад

Is the rudder effective in keeping the boats on course over (relatively) long distances or is it just for looks?

@poolster1899 11 лет назад

Hello I'm from Holland. I did exacte the same as you did. My boat doesn't go that fast as your's do you maybe know what's wrong?? My boat is a robin steamboat (flying fish)

@ppplll000999 12 лет назад

which brand last longest on contnuous running and how many hours roughly ?

@123syflox123 14 лет назад

this is kind of a weird question... but what font do you use for the title of the vid? it looks nice

@ThornyUke 7 лет назад

I use a small magnet on the underside of the lip at the back of the boat, keeps the candle holder from shifting :-)

@alejandro1k23 7 лет назад

steve thornton how he just showing us how they work😂

@jodierocksursocks 15 лет назад

ive never heard of these before? are they commercial or you made em?

@mikr0bas 15 лет назад

i wonder what i you heat that "boiler" with jet flame?

@ilovemlo 14 лет назад

how do you make the tin engine cause i dont wont one with straws

@erty311 13 лет назад

@tangofizz77 might be a bit big. could trim the wax off though.

@pablopicasso6699 9 лет назад

I have never come across these things before, but they are awesome! Gonna see if I can get one on ebay ;-)

@kucingtigers 12 лет назад

I have one with the exact same hull except the lid is tugboat style.

@ipadize 13 лет назад

can i use the "engine" to pump water?

@forresttrenaman 15 лет назад

I was only 16 when I made this video and I was working 4 days a week.

@theguyinthefunnyhat 13 лет назад

Why is everyone spamming. They look cool. I love the idea of a working steam boat.

@paulmax418 12 лет назад

Can u use pipe cleaners to clean the inside

@jacobbellamy109 10 лет назад

how did you make that green pop pop boat it looks awesome

@RevelationEndTimes-YiG2024YiG 5 лет назад

Have you tried Jiffy Firelighters, that have no Kerosene, and a blazing fire first time, every time.

@CookiesUnleashed 11 лет назад

it uses some fire thingy to ignite the engines it only turned on the same way not the engines the engines are some powerful turbines

@gizmoguyar 14 лет назад

I made one but it just shakes back and fourth? I can't figure it out.

@stratchat 15 лет назад

This is the first time I've seen something like this. Pretty cool. =)

@unreasonablebannana 13 лет назад

DO YOU EVER HAVE TO REPLACE THE BOILER?

@jodierocksursocks 15 лет назад

awesome! not trying to sound corny or anything but you are amazing! i watched your knot videos and did some of em, i made the duct tape wallet and fireball! and now all my friends want wallets like mine and i sent em links to your page =]
