The propeller creates thrust by spinning, pushing water backward and propelling the boat forward. Powered by an elastic band or motor, it converts rotational energy into forward motion in water.

Class 6 Vocational Education Kaushal Bodh Grade 6 Project 3 Maker Skills solutions
A propeller in a toy boat functions by spinning and pushing water backward, generating thrust that propels the boat forward. The rotational motion, powered by an elastic band or small motor, creates a continuous flow of water, enabling movement. This mechanism demonstrates Newton’s third law of motion, where the backward push of water results in the forward motion of the boat. Propellers showcase simple machine principles effectively in toy-making.
