Build You Own Prop Powered Pond Skimmer

Whilst hardly as geeky as the DIY MP3 Player set, and by no means as impressive as Brian the Brain, this build your own pond skimmer certainly put a smile on our faces and we suspect that it would be a great hit with young children (as well as slightly repressed webmasters).

Offering easy assembly, the somewhat geeky Pond Skimmer kit comes as a press out model that’s manufactured from lightweight EVA and, once made will power itself across the surface of water thanks to its rear facing propeller courtesy of a singe AAA battery.

Ideal for the bath, the Pond Skimmer will also work on any still body of water, such as a small lake or pond, though thanks to the fact that once its set off on its journey its completely beyond your control we can envisage a few tears resulting from the fact that its drifted off to the middle of the lake and completely out of reach.

The Prop Powered Pond Skimmer retails for 3000 Korean Won, which equates to a mere $3 / £1.50 / €2.
