Making The ELECTRIC Raft Powered by Batteries 

GreatScott, you are a legend, cool to see you on here as well. How about you guys make a collab? I would absolutely love to see that!

Hi greatscott

Is it just me or I feel collaboration coming?

@@nadavleor You also know that Scotty is from Germany and he is in Sweden, right?

Yes! Go help him with the solar panels.

Ye and make it more sturdy too cuz right now the top is more like jelly than anything

no, its fun. don't make it into a hippy boat.

Yeah

A tiny herb garden would be nice too

Solar Panels + Water Turbine on the bottom

Lol I tried it a day before and nearly blew myself up with 200 amps 24 volts running trough cable to the negative pole and blowing it up (it melted in one milisecond) I was building a small 230volt setup just for fun (I want to meet Simon ) We wanted to build a camping in Sweden 🇸🇪 always will be the best RU-vidr to me !

That's an awesome idea! Maybe it could be combined with solar panels for longer runtimes + energy for a cooler,. Also, adding a steering wheel (controlling the servo) on the top floor would be great!

Great ideas 👌🏼

Someone watches rctestflight

@@fallingwater Guilty as charged :-)

@@fallingwater our lord and savior rctestflight

a folding top floor hahahaha, love it

That is slightly over constrained and I get the view and not hitting your head arguments. The staircase (and box) more or less takes care of the longitudal flex, the two joints in the back take care of the lateral forces. There is only a big twist left laterally in the front and only one joint behind the staircase would greatly reduce that without obstructing the view or passage of your head

Those small "knee joints" look good. I would not mind, you can make them quite small and they still work.

@@rosserobertolli I agree

THANK YOU!! Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this. To really support it it needs knee joints in both of the directions he can.

I assumed it was more about pollution than noise.

Noise also causes pollution.. For the aquatic habitat.. the little fishes will be like: what the fuck is going on today.. oh my god these humans.. first they catch one of us with a hook that has the most tastiest fish food.. then they fucking ride a electric surfboard with motor brushless motor frequencies of 30-40khz which is probably our entire generation will go deaf.. use a fucking silencer next time..

@@HimanshuGhadigaonkar a lot harder to be annoyed ab the sound when theyre dead from chemical pollution

​@@BrainSlugs83 Personally I hate noise pollution as much as exhaust pollution.

So?

Move!

Build it on a trailer and rent a storage spot. Of course that means more expenses but if you don't own waterfront you'll need a trailer anyhow.

Best anchor ever

With legs that walk on land.

Christ, he keeps this up and he's going to have a small scale aircraft carrier for his drones.

Yeah, he seems to be living such a happy life!

I'm sure, if they had rafts for sale, the name would have something to do with water and also floating.

“Raftling” -Swedish accent

Holy shit imagine

I am glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking of Ardupilot! A couple of props on the bottom, throttle based steering (can't remember what it's called), ooh, could even do the fake anchor where gps keeps it in place!

@@danieljenkins4213 differential thrust for steering I think is how it's called. At least it makes sense to me 🤷‍♂️

@@gttkp YES! That's what I was trying to think of. Thank you

With way points so you don't have to steer it.

Wireless anchor.

@@NotTheLarryDavid take my money

@@NotTheLarryDavid connected with bluetooth

@@oanatudor1339 Oh come on

Its probably more about the sound then anything. Combustion engines go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

@@thetranspanzer3692 electric engines go meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Next week. I built electric airboat. It's kinda loud. But it's ok it's electric.

likely its more about not polluting the lake from the fuel/exhaust

@@Megalixer84 yes

Exactly! No need to edit.. Just upload ur raw footage.. We'll watch them all.

Lmao same I will do better and more I promise 😆😂 💀 🤝

Actually they don’t have to be heavier but more dense, but I get your point. ;)

yes

you are the reason there are a thousand people in the way. stfu

Time to move to rural Sweden then! 😅

You´re welcome to Finland.

yep

Do you see room for that?

@@stejer211 he could put them on the side on an angle as well

@@aprilscherz1233 Like a giant sail?

@@stejer211 no just like on a 45° angle on the side of the raft

@@aprilscherz1233 Which then magically wouldn't act like a giant sail? Now, what happens to the electricity if he wants to sail the other way? You know, with the solar panels away from the sun?

I would actually trade my gf to hang out on this raft jeeez

@@MrKakaofreak I've seen your girlfriend and I can understand.

@Rick of Earth You cannot exchange nothing for something.

Yeah but what does he get out of it haha

And youd still win

I was thinking the same thing

Europe FTW

Wow realy, even tho nearly every house is made out of wood? In total is estimate it would be around 500euros of wood (going by the netherlands)? Also sweden, finland and norway have one of the highest exports in lumber.

@@WitchieNL well I am exaggerating, but here in the US lumber has pretty much doubled to tripled in price.

@@WitchieNL It's BECAUSE every house is made out of wood. Cause of covid theres been a HUGE demand for homes away from the city (because cities are disgusting breeding grounds of garbage, and it only took a global pandemic for people to figure that out), so theres a LOT of new houses being built right now, the average lead time to get a house built nowadays is a little over 2 years, when the house itself only takes maybe 8-10 months to build. There just isn't enough materials and/or builders available.

It was a nice laugh

hahah the earth doesn't play quake you silly

I feel like he just decided not to show it because he doesn't want to trigger some 21st century internet warriors who fight for LGBTQ+ rights, fish feelings and other dumb shit. Not exactly sure how many kinds of people I insulted here.

@@PH1LZ Agreed.Reason I say that is bc he literally casts his spinning rod as if he's been fishing since infancy. Perfect form and cast...so yeah I'm pretty sure he knows how to set a hook we he gets a bite :D

great idea, replying so he sees this

No, that's what the wooden bench is for.

Can you not go 24h without pooping?

@@erik.... Have you seen a doctor yet?

LGR does that too.

You know you can just go in the lake, right?
