Abstract

I was this boy. Thus, I had to build my own ferry. It was clear to me what it should look like: Almost identical to the ferries I knew from my homeland by the sea. After this idea generation and construction phase, I managed to build a reliable prototype for my personal use. Unfortunately, technological issues, social influences, and a lack of required parts led to a very different solution. This solution incorporated lower user value to me in terms of car capacity, and provided a more complex solution for “roll on & roll off” the ferry than initially intended.
