Very good for a concept. Install straight motors without gear boxes, programmable motor controllers, and a sealed throttle device. This thing could go much faster and with programmed ramps you could get much better performance. Maybe even tighten up the clearances between the props and the tubes to get greater thrust from them too. Great project and great results.
That's cool! If you placed a larger step up cone facing forward to be a scoop then a step down at the back to increase thrust you'd be surprised at the outcome. I must admit sir, you have a lot of odd components on hand. Do you have an ebay store or family owned hardware store? Very impressed. Please keep up the good work, you give me lots of ideas.
This same concept designed onto the hull of a canoe or kayak would really be badass, primarily for its ability to push through weeds and debris without tangling up the props . Amazing potential here.Nice.
Sweet, nicely done, thank you for demonstrating the assembly, and most importantly the actual use of it…. I love it! Dude you should just make a bunch of them and sell them as aerators (avoid the lawsuit crazy crowd), this would be good for an investor.
ага да. два таких винта стоят 4 тысячи аккум 6s 5А стоит 5-6к два мотора с редукторами выйдут 2к плюс два вала гребных и втулки пусть 1к и 1к на все эти трубы и провода. итого 12-15к за какую то хуету. проще лодочный мотор купить 3лс бушный и лодку и ходить 22км в час.
I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Rey Cassius I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Beautifully executed and a wonderful scraps box you have. Love the welded pipe construction. It does occur to me that the butt-weld for the cowling tangs might be vulnerable. If you were to use two endcaps for the motor mount, back-to-back you could sandwich the rubber seal between them. You could then weld the tangs inside the second endcap. Lovely work.
Maybe a Momentary switch you can hold down with your fingers wired to a relay would be better than a damn double pole throw ac breaker.. still pretty cool
Man if you built those impellers like they built the jets on jet skis then you'd get ten times the power out of those props. All the water is cavitating around the blades . Makes me wanna build this for my kayak.
He probably built it before and was juat showing us how otherwise , no you wouldn't have 2 dc motor and shafts and propellars that match all of your perfectly matched pieces of pvc pipe as well as batteries and most other hardware. It worked great !
@MANBEARPIG 7734 at the moment the propellors propulse the water partially into his body, making the shaft longer will have the propulsion outlet behind his body Less resistance in the path of the outlet means going faster
If you lost your grip on it, it’s gone! Rather than the conventional tethered kill Switch though, you should utilize a momentary switch directly under your fingers or palm.
That was one of the greatest videos yet. I'd want to make one that doesn't put the motors, swtiches and batteries in the water. But something I could add onto a 2-person inflatable Kayak. I Love this video, Keep it coming. Maybe one day I will actually build something from your series, if I'm lucky.
Im going to go out on a limb here with a crazy guess that this guy has his doctorate in electrical or mechanical engineering or something. I mean, this is what he does for fun? I wish I had half the tools and skills he does. Wow. Impressive.
One important thing.. One motor should have been wired backwards to create a counter rotating engine. This give stability and allows it to go straight without manipulation. Common practice on all multi engine setups weather a plane or vessel. But the idea is excellent for a kayak. Or something similar.
