Would you like to see a slightly improved version of that boat exploring a sunken airplane that is even further from the coast? Let me know in the comments!
100% do it, also do you have advice for me too? I’m using my Lego exploration ship to explore a crashed ww2 plane. All I could think of is a underwater camera attached to a deep diving rope that can extend 4 metres deep.
@@techlogiantbricks8279@ techlogiantbricks8329 To lower a camera so deep, you should go for a platform that is lowered with ropes from all four corners. The mounting points should also have enough space between them to avoid spinning the platform. If you try to lower the camera with a single rope it will definitely start spinning. A simpler and safer solution would be to mount the camera under the boat as I did. That way you avoid the camera getting caught on the wreck or other object on the sea floor, as you will have absolutely no clue about the camera position once it is lowered. Finally, another option is to build a fully submersible vehicle, but that's much harder.
@@brickandgear thanks for you reply, you share lots of info with me. I have another question, what do you mean that I make a submersible out of Lego bricks? I always wanted to do it but it’s way too hard, you need to make it so that the sub can descend under the water and also rise up, this project just seems impossible. Even if it’s possible, the motors with the battery box can get damaged if it leaked
Idk if others have this feeling but when I watched small soldiers, there was this end scene where the sentient toys hop on a boat that’s in scale with them and sail out to sea. Ever since then I love seeing toys and figures in real life areas; Lego buildings in the grass, transformer figures fighting or driving through a sandy beach or exploring a forest. And especially toy boats with figures on them, as they search the ocean. Idk why but it’s so fun
I feel you! That is the reason why I place minifigures even in places that are not visible to the camera. I know they are there, and it makes the ship feel alive to me!
I love how you make all of your boats with the consideration of minifig compatibility. Like giving them a helm to the ship of walkways along the sides. Even railings. ❤️
The only improvement I would make is adding a small RC submarine attached by a string. That might be slightly difficult, but I think it might look nice
The ship's rolling a lot. While a catamaran hull design is more stable than single hull, you still need keels and fins along the sides and bottom to lessen the roll. I would also recommend storing the heavy battery pack lower on the ship and use smaller motors.
a SWATH style catamaran hull with deep displacement pods would give more stability, you could design it to be suitable for 3 to 4 inch waves. look up SWATH and Trisec design ships.
I looked up lego boats saw this and said "Been there, seen the ruins, there're bloody awesome, and now I want to spend the several hours I don't have trying this for myself!"
Me too. Apart from one group of swimmers, there was no human presence near the ruins. There was a group of Italian geologists on the pier! Showed them the ruins from the drone feed! 😁
Have a question: Here in Australia, we have strict gun laws Do you think that it’s legal to play with Lego guns in public In Australia? Also, Do you know if it’s legal to use it for self defence too?
Μπράβο! Ωραία κατασκευή! Νομίζω ότι χρειαζόταν λίγο μεγαλύτερη πλευστότητα αλλά κατά τα άλλα εξαιρετικό! Συνέχισε έτσι! Δυστυχώς είμαστε πολύ λίγοι κολλημένοι με τα technic στην Ελλάδα.
@@brickandgear Παρακολουθώ καιρό τώρα τις δημιουργίες σου και θέλω να σε συγχαρώ για δύο βασικούς λόγους! Πρώτον, διότι τολμάς να πειραματιζεσαι με κατασκευές μέσα σε νερό και κυρίως με την θάλασσα, κάτι που δεν το τολμάει κανείς από τους άλλους δημιουργούς που ανεβάζουν βιντεάκια στο RU-vid. Είχα φτιάξει ένα σκάφος που αμολουσε παραγάδι χρησιμοποιώντας nxt2 για τον έλεγχο του και νόμιζα ότι μόνο εγώ (μάλλον ακούγεται πολύ εγωιστικό αυτό) είχα τολμήσει να βάλω τα lego μου στην θάλασσα, μέχρι που είδα τις δημιουργίες σου και συνειδητοποίησα ότι το μικρόβιο αυτό το έχουμε στην Ελλάδα! Δεύτερον, σε συγχαίρω γιατί οι κατασκευές σου έχουν μία ξεχωριστή ταυτότητα και πλέον όταν πετυχαίνω κάποιο βίντεο σου, καταλαβαίνω ότι είναι δικό σου πριν δω το όνομα του καναλιού. Μπράβο σου γιατί είναι πολύ ωραίο όταν τα έργα κάποιου δημιουργού έχουν ταυτότητα! Και πάλι συγχαρητήρια και συγνώμη αν κούρασα με το μέγεθος του μηνύματος μου..
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ! Δεν με κούρασες καθόλου. Αντιθέτως! Ελπίζω να σου αρέσουν και τα μελλοντικά μου σχέδια! Υ.Γ. Τόση θάλασσα που έχουμε, κρίμα να μην την χρησιμοποιήσουμε...
Thank you very much! It's the least I can do. You are the ones that support the channel and make all this possible! I really hope the channel grows even bigger and I am finally able to give away one of my builds (financially impossible at the moment).
You are correct. Those small servos turn less than 90 degrees and I wasn't aware of that when designing the boat. I actually made a modification with larger gears in order to achieve tighter turns, but in the end I stuck with my original design, as the mission didn't require great maneuverability. I'm taking my first steps in proper RC gear, so I'm learning as I go.
@@brickandgear include your face if you are comfortable, maybe put an arrow pointing to something amazing such as your boat looking down at the wreck, and the wreck below the boat with an arrow or box to get your viewers excited, your video is very special, I’ve always wanted to explore underwater wreckage that was there at popular times so if you follow these tips you can get more views, if it still doesn’t work, delete this video and reupload it with your new thumbnail. I also have a Lego RU-vid channel and I do this all the time when things don’t work out.
Hello brick&gear I have another question for u, can you tell me what Lego motors you used and what remote you used to control your vessel, if possible can you show me how to use your remote? I might also use your type of mechanism for my Lego exploration vessel
I used two RC motors, but I have replaced them with L motors. You can use any 2.4GHz controller for RC vehicles. However, you'll need an electronic speed controller for each channel that drives motors, a receiver, batteries (I use LiPo, but they can be dangerous if you don't use them properly) and servo motors. I'll upload a video sometime in the near future explaining some of the electronics and procedures.
La seule chose que je trouve regrettable dans cette vidéo même si elle est très bien c'est le fait que ce soit des Lego et qu'il soit en pleine mer, en cas de perte de pièce, cela sera un déchet de plus dans les océans...
My pleasure! I've built a very basic submarine in the past and have plans to build something better in the future to explore a WWII shipwreck. Here's my first attempt on a sub : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6GY4684Npgg.html
@@brickandgear thanks for your reply. I checked out your Submarine video, very cool! I like how you do your videos and music, very enjoyable. Did you get any inspiration from other RU-vid Lego builders?
For the sub I was inspired by the Brick Experiment channel. I saw their LEGO powered sub in a jar, so I thought about building one made entirely from LEGO Technic elements, and in the future a massive meter long proper sub that can traverse the sea!
@@brickandgear great! I have seen the submarine from BEC channel too. His method was very clever. I am excited to see your full length Submarine version! 🤩👍
@gabrisiusgabigab196 that boat is almost my entire LEGO collection. Each time I build a new vehicle I have to dismantle the previous one to use the pieces.
@@fran-uf7mz whenever I need extra pieces I get them from Bricklink. LEGO pieces are expensive, so I only buy what I need using the little money I earn from RU-vid ads.
Hello and thank you for commenting! Most of my parts come from the Bucket wheel excavator (42055), and one BrickLink order of plates and other pieces. I'll probably make another BrickLink order soon though, as I want to build even bigger boats!
Very cool boat, i like the big size of it, cool electronics, now i wonder how fast can lego go on water. What if you put 4 propellors or 6 with the same 2 motors ?
