Rare thing that can impress so easily
How to launch:- fill up the pipe with the water but leave just a little bit of air inside- lid the candle and place it so it won’t be too deep but still touching the very corner of the “heater engine” (not sure how it is called)- put into water and wait for the sound of boiling water. If you hear it, it’s about to start.Downsides of this specific product: I wish the creator put more love into the design. The candle cannot be fixed in an accurate position. When the boat hits obstacles, the candle shifts and the engine stops working. Launching it again takes time. Despite that and overall cheap look, the toy itself is amazing on its simplicity and at the same time in the complexity of the physics that makes it work. There’s just a few of this toys that can be found in this marketplace, so I am grateful I was able to buy it and it has good enough quality to satisfy the expectations.

Awesome
I bought this bc of the movie ponyo and when I used it I was amazed at the simple but effective engineering it take for the boat to work. 10/10 brought a smile to my face like a kid

Overpriced and only one small candle
Overpriced for the quality. The candle will last for 15 minutes only. Its hard to pot more wax and make it lit.

Received defective. Steam chamber had a leak. Seller provided a refund.
Liked the seller because they didn’t hesitate to provide a refund. The leak wasn’t a huge surprise because these are made in a third world country out of recycled materials.
