They used to have a lot of cool plans to make your own science experiments.

One was making a hydrofoil boat using board and marine plywood.

There was another about how to make magnesium powered card that would “recharge” just by swapping out plates of metal.

“One was making a hydrofoil boat using board and marine plywood.”

I remember that clearly. I bought the plans, but never got very far with the project. We lived on the East Hill above Cayuga Lake back then and it was the PERFECT place for a small hydroplane boat like that.

I was just looking for the plans and couldn’t find them. Maybe it was in Science & Mechanics magazine or Popular Mechanics magazine.
