Mod a cheap radio control boat into an RC magnetohydrodynamic vehicle.
This design serves as proof of principle for modding an RC vehicle to run on MHD. Rather than being a performance design, it travels at an astonishing speed of several feet per minute since it uses essentially the same design as our foam-tray MHD boat.
Read on to find out how we made the conversion, what worked and what didn’t, and how we plan to get some speed in the next revision.
