What could be a better gift for a sailor on Defender's Day than a model ship? Let it be the simplest one, but made with your own hands! A chic submarine model is easy to make from the simplest and most unexpected materials.
You will need:
— body from a large firecracker;
- a smooth plastic ball (Christmas tree, for example), with a diameter suitable for a cracker;
— a cap from an antiperspirant (the cap from Mennen Speed Stick fits perfectly);
- cardboard;
— tin lid from preservation;
- 1 match;
— 1 cotton swab;
- scissors;
- awl;
- glue;
- black paint in a can.
Manufacturing:
The hull of the boat will be a firecracker on which all other parts of the submarine are attached.
We cut a hole approximately in the middle of the firecracker body into which we insert the cap - the wheelhouse (fencing of retractable devices).
We make the stern part of the boat from a cardboard cone. We also cut out the rudders, bow and stern depth rudders from cardboard.
You can secure the steering wheels by making protrusions on them and slots in the body: this is more reliable, but more difficult. It's easier to fold the edges and glue them tail unit to the cone.
Using scissors (not manicure scissors, but good cutting scissors), cut out a screw from the tin lid. Having bent the blades, we make a hole in the center with an awl and secure the propeller to the stern using an axis made from a match. The submarine's propeller even spins! If it's difficult to make 6 blades, try three or four.
We glue the stern part to the hull - the hardest part of the job is done!
The nose part is much easier to make: you just need to insert the ball into the body of the firecracker about halfway and secure it tightly. You will get the rounded nose of a submarine.
Stepping back a little, we glue the bow depth rudders.
Having made two holes in the roof of the superstructure with an awl heated on a fire, we insert an antenna and a periscope made from the rod of a cotton swab: one is shorter, the other is longer.
Assembly is complete, it's time to start painting.
The fastest and easiest way to paint our boat is from a spray can. What a beauty it turned out to be! The only thing missing is the tail number.
It can be written using a proofreader, but it is better to make it clear and beautiful by printing white letters and numbers on a black background and gluing it to the boat’s superstructure on both sides.
The submarine goes to sea!
Sometimes you really want to do something with your own hands, so that it is both interesting and gives you spiritual satisfaction.
But in fact, in order to do something you need a bunch of tools, and you also need material that is always not at hand, and you also need money for this material.
And here is the usual model of two plastic bottles from under the water, a couple of paper clips and an elastic band with which we pull the money.
In order; To create this toy, you will still need something, namely two bottles, a drill - you will have to drill, or you can poke holes, the old fashioned way. A couple of paper clips or wire, and most importantly, a knife. Yes, a couple of ice cream boards and sticks will do just fine. And don’t forget the rubber band, it will be needed for the rubber motor.
So, when everything you need has been collected to the heap, you can start. The first thing to start with is making a propeller; without it, our boat will not float
There is no point in telling how to make a screw, it’s already clear from the drawing.
The more accurately we make the propeller, the greater the chance that the boat will float. This is where you will need a paper clip.
The main thing is not to forget to place something like a thick washer between the screw and the lid, maybe a bead ball.
When the main unit is assembled, take the second plastic one and drill or use a nail to poke a hole in the bottom.
Now we need a second paper clip, which we attach in the form of a loop to the hole in the bottom of the bottle.
Everything is visible in the picture. Don’t forget to attach a rubber band in advance, and preferably more than one, the thicker the rubber band, the stronger the thrust of the submarine.
Now you can assemble the structure to the heap, hook the rubber band to the hook on the screw and tighten the lid with the screw. All that remains is to secure the stabilizers; they are needed so that the model does not turn over in the water.
It should look something like this.
Yes, the most important thing is that the boat floats - you need to use the handles - one holds the frame, and the other turns the screw, in which direction it doesn’t matter - it will be visible there while sailing. After the screw is screwed on, we lower the boat into the water and lower it. Nothing complicated. If everything was done at least 50% correctly, it should float. Well, you understand me: smile.:
And now you can start testing so that the boat floats under water by experimentally adding water to the bottle.
I don’t know about adults, but children will be delighted.
07:31 pm - How to make your own submarine (top secret)19:31 01.04.2012
Following the precepts of the program “Crazy Hands,” the DaVinci Learning channel told us how, using scrap materials, for the most part plastic bottles, make a working model of a submarine. It is effective in the sense that it can float and sink not at random, but at our request.
So, what is needed for work:
" " on Yandex.Photos
Two bottles, large and small, an inflatable balloon, a hose, a rubber ring and electrical tape. If you tear electrical tape with your teeth, you don't need a knife.
In a small bottle you need to make a lot of holes, 3-4 mm in diameter. I pierced it with a nail heated on gas. I’ll say right away that it was necessary to have more - both in diameter and in quantity. But it turned out pretty good too: 
" " on Yandex.Photos
Make a hole in the cork of a small bottle for the hose: 
" " on Yandex.Photos
Insert the hose and secure the inflatable ball to it. I actually wanted to wrap it with electrical tape, but my son insisted on using an elastic band, “like on TV.” Well, with an elastic band, so with an elastic band: 
" " on Yandex.Photos
After this, push the ball inside the bottle, tighten the cap and secure the hose. Again, I wanted to use duct tape, but my son again insisted on the “from TV” option and covered it with plasticine: 
" " on Yandex.Photos
Now all that remains is to connect both bottles with electrical tape (like on TV, yay!) and the submarine is almost ready: 
" " on Yandex.Photos
The only problem is that without ballast this structure absolutely does not want to submerge. And this turns out to be some kind of garbage, not a submarine. Just fill it out big bottle There is not enough water either - it still floats. In the transfer, some beautiful sand was poured inside, but the sand that I managed to find did not want to fall through the funnel. So I threw all sorts of things into the bottle rusty bolts and nuts. Well, I poured some water. By the way, it is convenient to regulate buoyancy with water, because it would be much more inconvenient to pour sand back.
Well, now sea trials.
We ended up with a strong trim to the stern, because the bolts and nuts, such pests, fall in one direction, no matter how you shake them. But in principle it worked :-)
