Crafting a DIY Water Bottle Boat Fleet! | Backyard Project 

❤❤

Lunatic ..

There are plastic barrels to be had for cheap. The lightly used supply is quite abundant and inexpensive.

Scary stuff

Great build though

The foam helps to stabilize the jugs so that they don't move around and weaken the structure.

@@joewoodchuck3824 it also cracks under load and emits foam crumbs into the water. It'd be better to use rope for stabilization.

@@rhoshard I see your point.

прикольно

Из г-на и палок - у адвоката Егорова. А здесь каркас как чугунный мост

Water jugs and lumber is way less a couple hundred bucks!

​@@3EASTthose 5 gal bottles are like $20 each if you had to buy them.

@@latentspacediffusion You can always ask friends and also look around and find empty 5 Gal. water bottles that are still water tight that can be used for no cost but some time.

Hope shes a good swimmer 😂

Cable ties are wonderful as long as the UV resistant black ones are used. White ones break down in sunlight.

@@joewoodchuck3824 I don't think sunlight is the main issue tbh 😬

@@blame681 What is the issue then in your opinion?

@@joewoodchuck3824 Ummm... Impacts, twisting, movement, lack of torsional strength, temperature changes, friction. Need I go on? Cable ties are for cables that don't move, not boats.... Otherwise they'd be called boat ties

You do what you like and others do what they like. Further, you don't actually know what prices were paid.

Couldn't go on my bodies of water.... Looks like a pool float

You're 100% correct that's exactly what I thought the moment I seen the video

@somerandomname9252 LOL, he should have hand-painted the bottles to get some extra time.

Everyone s a fkin expert not he made the craft extra strong,,good job mate,❤ it very portable😂

​@@arjan-nuts-gamingdetractors making me nauseated

@@briangillie3873 well intentions liberals the systematic destruction of the world through a kind heart

Yes it is. You could substitute something else

Contenu de haute qualité, comme toujours !

Only problem is it can’t turn 😂😂

It seemed to turn from what I saw. Just turn the handlebars.

@@GodsLove503 the front wheel acts as front rudder

​@@GodsLove503 bet , I'll go around the world then

лучше гребной винт а не колесо

Depends on the source pricing. The plastic jugs might be decommissioned and no longer suitable for water consumption for example. Probably cheap or free. The plastic pipe frame kayak is very inexpensive even with new pipe. The covering is very cheap. Each design must researched for possibilities.

Perhaps they are confident swimmers.

So everyone can find and afford one of those john boats ..huh?

Gee, at least they were thinking....better than just throwing it all away!😊

How is the plastic harming the environment? It doesn't dissolve.

It's to stop the tubes filling with water and being even heavier than the weight of the foam.

The miniscule added weight is cheap insurance against water leaks.

It's even much simpler if you use SI units. Assuming: Density of water = 1000 kg/m3 (or simply 1kg/Litre) Target carrying capacity = 300 kg standard 5 gallon jug volume in SI units = 18.9 litres Lets first calculate the buoyancy provided by the bottles. Each 18.9-liter bottle can displace 18.9 kg of water, which means it can provide up to 18.9 kg of buoyancy. To support a 300 kg load, the total buoyancy required is 300 kg. calculation procedure: 1. Total buoyancy needed: 300 kg 2. Buoyancy provided by each bottle: 18.9 kg 3. Number of bottles needed: 300kg ÷ 18.9 kg/bottle =15.87 bottles Thus, you need about 16 containers of standard 18.9-liter water dispenser bottles to create a boat that can carry a 300 kg capacity.

Then just leaves it to rot in sun while next tropical storm spreads 9t around world f%@#*king jurk

You missed the point entirely. The foam is being used to stabilize the jugs against moving in relation to each other. Any movement allows flex which can start to weaken the structure.

@@joewoodchuck3824 That's why I said interlock them together

@@slashhamby4663 May I ask how you would propose to do that? Keeping in mind that any holes below the water line are a leakage risk and polyethylene isn't the easiest plastic to glue.

How is any plastic being added to the water?

@@joewoodchuck3824 The spray foam will dissolve at the micro level and leach out slowly.

@@OverkilledUnderdog Ok. I wasn't sure. But is it actually harmful in some way? I was thinking it would be benign.

You mean Magruber? I have no idea who this macgyver is 🤔

It's polyethylene which is quite strong especially in multiple layers as shown here. You can just as easily use a plastic tarp as well.they come in numerous thicknesses and strengths.

How? Plastic doesn't dissolve.

Coast guard approval is only required for commercially made boats.

Presence.

Or 🎁 presents 🌼

Her project was entirely too complicated...

@@urrywest different strokes for different folks

How? Plastic doesn't dissolve.

That's what I was thinking lol

Say no to plastic!

@latentspacediffusion you phone, tablet or pc is mostly plastic! How will you leave messages here in videos without it

Interesting tree huggers were loving plastic in the 70s and 80s its worked out well

Nobody cares
