This little Tin Steam Boat has been an Indian icon for decades. This boat is sold during festival time and costs around Rupees Twenty only. If you remove the canopy on top then you can see the INLET and OUTLET pipes and also the BOILER. Fix the canopy and upturn the boat to see the Inlet and Outlet pipes more clearly. 

With the help of a plastic dropper fill the boat boiler with water. Make a lamp with wax and a wick in a crown cap. Light the lamp and place it under the boiler. TAKE ADULT HELP FOR PLACING THE LAMP. After sometime the water will become warm and hot and will start boiling. Then the boat will start making its famous PHAT-PHAT noise. 

Now place it in a tub of water. Water will be sucked from one pipe and steam will be ejected from the other. This will make the boat go round-and-round in circles making a distinctive PHAT-PHAT sputter.
