Today in Te Ao Whanui we got into invention groups and had to research about it. The invention group I am in is jet boat. We had to figure out who created it, what is its purpose when they made it, how did they come up with the idea, how has it helped change the world. We had to put the answers on a piece of paper that has what the invention is on it. Here are the answers to the questions. The answers are not in order.
Jet boats changed the world because tourism went up. Sir William (Bill) Hamilton made jet boats. Hamilton wanted to build the boat because he wanted a boat the could navigate the shallow fast-flowing rivers where he lived. Jet boats were made in the early 1950s. It was found that the water jet was better than propellers and it was easier to go up against waves.
I think that Jetboats are a successful invention because people still use them now.
Jetboats are used around the world as a tourism attraction
Hamilton thought that an ancient Greek named Archimedes made the Jetboat.
