3D Printed Compression Propellers - IT WORKS! 

Don't die dude, I've been watching your videos for years and I'd really like you to keep them coming. These latest projects of yours are sketchy AF, you got lucky in that crash.

This guy is becoming more and more like a mad scientist. He will reach legendary levels when he is 50.

Inspector gadget propellers: make sure the props are always further than an arms length away. You’ll probably want the props to be able to tilt and have a gravity driven counterweight or else when you jump, they will pull you in whatever direction you lean, not just straight up.

I can't be the only one who loves living in a time where we have acces to the knowledge and technology necessary for these projects.

Awesome video as usual, Simon. For the Inspector Gadget project .. please ensure you are 100% safe from those propellers. Enclose in a shroud similar to how powered para-gliders do this.

Simon can't build one death defying gadget without building another. Hey simon, do us all a favor and make sure you cant put your hands up inside the propellers of the gravity machine. Its pretty hard to hit the "print" button on a 3d printer if you have no hands. And where does simon find all these frozen lakes in sweden? lolz I love your humor, so I've been watching ever since..... you made hydroplaning wheels for the RC cars. You were still doing creepy videos giving kids candy lolz

speaking of the antigravity idea, there's some relevant stuff from nasa way back when. when the astronaughts were wanting to practice lunar landings, they had to come up with a way to simulate lower gravity (same problem as you) but it wasnt just as simple as introducing enough thrust this is beacuse as soon as you lean over, that thrust stops counteracting gravity and instead starts to move you side to side. their solution was to have a central jet engine that is computer stabalized so that it is always pointing straight up and never contributing to your movement, but is always fighting against gravity. i think that would be way out of scope for the video so you prolly wont wanna do that. and tbh even if you get like 10-15% of the antigravity thrust as directional thrust instead - that'd just act as a jump boost and might be more fun anyway.

We need to get this guy a couple million more subs so he can afford some good equipment like chargers and better remotes etc. Love the content. Thank you.

Just don get yourself killed with this inspector gadget thing. Love the works you do! xD

The propeller gravity thing is actually a death wish it's pretty dangerous because you cannot stay upright with just two propellers as soon as you jump you will be tilted to a random Direction the thing will probably hit the ground yank the whole apparatus off of your back and then some propeller might hit you in the face or cut the limb so be careful with that you need at least four propellers controlled by a flight controller and I would go as far as suggest using the EDF propellers that you used in a very tough enclosure that will not break open and cause damage because you will fall with this thing once or twice so be prepared for it

Seriously man, you're one of my favorite youtubers of all time. You're basically me, but 30 years younger and 30 years into the future (from when I was 30 years younger, of course.) It's so much fun watching these videos of your projects (and even being a part of them in your streams!)

That's awesome! But might I suggest one of those big red emergency stop buttons 😅 Also for the Inspector Gadget backpack, look up the pendulum rocket fallacy. Stability seems like it will be... interesting heh.

Please install a safety deadman switch on that next project!!!

So awesome. Always rad seeing what you come up with.

Up next. How to build a human blender. That rear prop is terrifying, you need a full cage around that rear propeller.

Wow that worked so well! Nice one Simon!

Man that was AWESOME thanks for your efforts in keeping us entertained 👍

another great Project Simon, thanks for sharing all that good content with the community!

It's been an amazing journey. Really fun following it on stream

Great Work Simon, Keep it up brother. With Love from London Ontario Canada.

I could watch this all day!!!

Looks like a ton of fun. Have you tried using string to draw your circles? Just put a pin/nail/finger in the middle and tie the pen at the right length voila you have smooth circles

IGAGD , sounds like a fascinating project. Amazed the skirt lasted so well.

For better distribution of the air into the skirt the bottom sheet needs smaller holes around the edges

I have not checked back in on your videos in a little while. This is amazing. Your skill set is growing and what I really like is you're learning from your mistakes. You are a true junior engineer. You show the journey that you take and how you make new paths based on the roadblocks you run into. All the younger people watching... Learn from how he's doing these tasks. It's amazing. You should reach out to Futaba or Spectrum and get them to send you new radio gear. That fail-safe issue was big. I think you should go big and build a jet pack system. Reach out to the manufacturers and see if they will sponsor it.

Started watching you some time ago and you gained mad respect bro. all the time and money spent to learn but also entertain us on youtube is passionate AF forsure !. hahah goodluck with the new upcoming projects and also the hover thing.

got such a massive grin watching you rip around on that lake, looks soooooo badass!!!

I've always found what you're able to do to be INCREDIBLE! But now that I know a bit about editing videos.. the fact that you're able to make such an amazing machine, AND EDIT SPECTACULARLY WELL is just amazing. Hats off to you dude💪

The red color is awesome and if the human operator lost is life chopped by the propellers, the painting will remain awesome! :)

The inspector gadget thing scared me. Please don’t die, you bring such good stuff to the world.

That was awesome! Well done!

Simon, keep being awesome my dude.

Nice build!

These vids are so awesome man.keep up the good work

omg hell yeah i want to follow up on your next build! that sounds epic. you may also start a trend, where other folks want to create that device as well. cool hover craft Simon.

Imagine being your neighbor seeing your garage door opens, and this hovercraft rolling out.

Backyard tinkers are awesome! heck ya man this is a win, nice build!

Thanks Simon for making theese videos!

awesome work dude! Love the project.

Love it! can't wait for the inspector gadget thing.

Awesome hovercraft Simon! Nice video!

You Sir, are one of my very favorite youtubers : ) LOVE what you do. PLEASE stay SAFE out there! Hello from the east coast of Newfoundland, eastern Canada!

Just go on building this stuff. Awesome !!

Nice project and great fun!😆

Amazing work Bro!!!! Keep it up 👍!!!

I love it when people don't do basic research and just try things out only to discover there's a better way to do things that someone else already discovered decades ago

Awesome video and so cool it worked. You really need shrouds around your fans for both protection and to create better airflow due to venturi effect and others which also helps with keeping static pressure in. I built a hovercraft when things weren't available but might have to try again

Mr Simon Gadget! Kudos to you..

so cool. what an awesome build.

it is a nice messy achievement. Congratulations RCLifeOn :)

You fantastic lunatic you! Extra protection for the Inspector Gadget. Talk to some people with motocross gear, they may be willing to lend you some just watch what happens! Definitely one of my favorite channels! Lets go!

Awesome effort mate fantastic machine! Can't wait for that next one

That would be an awesome way to clear the leaves and snow off your f my driveway. Awesome work!

A dead/absent man cut-off switch would be a good idea.

Simon you are truly an amazing person….with your imagination and talent we should be living on mars !

Awesome dude, love it!

Want the nest project as soon as possible ❤

Awesome project!!

I really love your videos, thanks mate!!!

Cool project!

Now add an inlet nozzle to those small propellers like on a big hovercraft or a carburetor… Also how about a shielding for that main pusher rotor… that’s really dangerous right now… Last not least how about a killswitch similar to jetskis ? A string from your body to a removable key in the switch…

i am waitting for your next project so much

Brilliant footage done by a brilliant man well done you.☮️❤️

This looks like so much fun, both as RC vehicle and also with you riding it! I had hovercraft on my "to build" list for a while, thanks for the inspiration again, will do it smaller though. Just make sure the failsafe works and add an emergency switch, holding the thing and disconnecting batteries quickly is ok for typical model size. These motors up to 10 kw are no joke. Make sure you don't cut your head off with the next creation ;)

No one: Absoluely no one: Simon: For my next project, the Decapitron 5000!

You are just too cool! Love all of your projects and can't wait to see the anti-gravity suit.

Blev lite chockad när jag såg vilken sjö du åkte på (kommer inte nämna vilken av uppenbara skäl), av hur nära vi bor varandra. Kul att se någon lokalt komma upp i RU-vid världen. Keep up the good work!

Love the video as always , Keep up the good work

Plus less worry about going through a thin section of ice! :D Crazy cool build man!!

Excellent work. Congrats on your new haircut and mustache, good choice and appearance.

Helt klart bästa kanlen på tuben. Längtar till nästa film!

You can get a more performance (higher dynamic pressure) out of the lift fans by adding a curved inlet duct and fan shroud, so the air does not go around a sharp corner and cant escape the fan sides.

Coolest snow blower ever! Enjoy the science.

Man, I'm flabbergasted. Awesome project.

That was amazing!!! I can't wait to see more! :D

Best RU-vidr out there!

Love your projects bro❤❤

I think someone has been watching the FliteTest StarWars land speeder build. Awesome video, thanks!

Frikken awesome! Glad to see the “safety cell” came in useful! The start-up noise is epic. Can’t wait to see the IGGD creation on your Twitch stream. Great success!

That is epic! As for the Inspector Gadget rig, it was nice knowing you, bruv! (joking, of course we want to see it!)

Awesome build. The next project looks like a decapitator device. Make sure this is not the last video you upload.

well done bro...cant wait to see the gravity video! Love & Respect from India, Mumbai

Love that video! Oh boy you must be scared after the crash without fail save😮

4:52 surprised at how pleasant of a noise that is

You sir, are insane! Love you content. Kör hårt!

safety first always!

the moment we were waiting for! HYPE!

Fantastic ideas execution content ..

That's so super duper awesome! 😂👍

Wait, What?.... Two props strapped above your head? This I have to see hahaha!

Minimizing chance of death is like at least 3rd on the list of important things to consider when you build stuff. That why your videos are great.

That hovercraft can be deployed as a thin ice lake rescue vehicle. In case the ice wasn't thick enough at certain area of an icy lake and someone crash into, having this vehicle on standby for this type of accident definitely helps.

Thanks, that is way better than the pusher prop.

It looks pretty cool bro especially the prop🗿👍

This is soooo GOOOD!

nice santa sled, santa is the goat, also a nice snow blower, no pushing tons of snow in front, other than the air. yep invert the power down logic, if no control turn all off. like a single remote power 0-max trigger. well if your lower part of the skirt plate is in the snow it will work like a snow boat. maybe make it more like a boat bottom, buster or so. well why not also a personal flying device, a prop pack.

Many were do wrong with the lift propeller. Many do only 1st stage fan which is not good at building static pressure cause it will just experience so much powerloss due to compressor surge or compressor stall. You must use centrifugal fan for lifitng. But if you want to use fan then take the concept of axial compressor which consist a lot of rotor stages and stator but if you want simple but with less effective performance compare to axial use centrifugal fan blades,take note not blower type but centrifugal compressor blade and remember keep the blade tip and cowling much more closer together dont leave a big gap between the two or youll have a powerloss still.❤ hello from Palawan Philippines!

An interesting side note of hovercraft is that they can make excellent icebreakers, injecting air through tiny pores in the ice to lift the ice clear of the water. Unsupported, the ice subsequently breaks under its own weight.

You are my real life hero!!!!!!

Awesome work! suggestions, try adding guide vanes where the motor sits, after the rotor, this should improve the static pressure & efficiency !
