The Hydra

This is my entry to the make it float contest. Before I started designing anything I conducted some research on buoyancy and displacement, with the essential question in mind: "How does buoyancy and displacement affect a boat's ability to carry weight?" The most significant piece of information I found was that “water will push upward against the object with a force equal to the weight of water that is displaced," (Archimedes). With this in mind I then proceeded to calculate the amount of quarte
