Saltwater Powered RC Boat 

Launch the boat *Throws boat* Like that?

Your mom is hilarious.

Instead of adding more rods for surface area next time drill holes in them. Reduce weight at the same time.

In this house we follow the laws of thermodynamics

*puts salt powered boat in the Dead Sea*

Me:*thinking the orange powering the printer was real* Peter: OBVIOUSLY this would NEVER work

I love how you have to use a time-lapse to show that It actually moved

I built a scaled up one of these with normal RC parts and had an absolute blast with it in the pacific northwest, thank you for sharing the design on Thingiverse.

PETER I JUST HAD A GREAT IDEA! MAKE A POP POP BOAT!

Hey Peter, just wanted to say I’ve really enjoyed watching you progress with all that you’ve done! I myself struggle with a school setting. With that said I’ve never let schooling get in the way of education. It’s nice getting to hear more of your story and even to see your folks get into the vlogs too! Safe travels man! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for us! Peace- ABSnyderRC

0:49 "These make about 1VOLT OF CURRENT" RIP PHYSICS!😂

5:16 that is the most adorable thing I have ever seen

I'm not even a model/RC enthusiast but I love watching these videos because it's awesome seeing people do things they are experts at, and presenting it in a way that my little brain can comprehend

@7:45 That's exactly how they put real ships in water.

As a very old engineer nearing 85 years old, I am amazed at what one can do with the sophisticated blocks that are available these days for one to tinker with. In my days it was not like that and we had to build the engineering block ourselves in the case of radio, I had to design and build the Tx and Rx down to transistor-level including winding our own motors and even making our own batteries. Engineering which I followed was not only tinkering with assembling and operating ready-made units, but one had to learn about the characteristics of different materials, do a lot of calculations hence one needed a good background in mathematics and we who took up electronics we had to learn and test all there was to learn in analog and digital and switched electronics to achieve all the functions including memories and processes in microprocessors. At 6:08 this young man said, " I went to school for a course in aviation, but really did not quite finish that, for I really wanted to switch majors......so I did try an engineering degree, I did not fare so well in the super formal engineering settings so I left believing in more self-education from various sources such as RU-vid, because I wanted to understand problem-solving through tinkering rather than listening to lectures ...... It does not matter how you learn as long as you have a good idea of what is going on." The problem with many people these days is that they love to be the proud owners of what they buy as long as one can afford it to live with that mentality, but there is much deeper knowledge than one can ache3ve by just tinkering with assembling units bought off the shelf. Going back to 1950 we used valves to make out Rx and Tx and by 1960 we were beginning to change over to transistors. After learning all about transistor circuits I decided to build my own eight-channel pulse with modulated Tx and the complementary receiver with proportional control. By then my mathematics was up to the level of understanding Maxwell's equations and solving to be able to design antennas and waveguides and their detailed performance. including gun diodes at their earlier stage. * The modulation stage of my transmitter was a set of eight variable pulsed followed by a synchronizing pulse fed to control the 35 Megahertz power oscillator radiating about half a watt. All that had to be tuned to a center-tapped antenna matched accordingly. * The receiver was a superheterodyne unit that i had to design from scratch where with the local oscillator the intermediate frequency was handled by a tuned amplifier and after demodulating the pulse train one needed to pick up the synchronizing pulse and with it set a counter to zero. Then the following pulses would step up the ripple counter where the output pulse on each " channel output" would remain for the duration of the pulse which was a duration of 0.5 to 1.5 milliseconds. The frame rate I used was about 30 frames per second. Our enjoyment was not in just assembling complex units and operating them, but designing and making and tuning an eight-channel proportional control Tx and Rx must have taken me about three months at least. When I finished that I remember building a submarine made out of oil gallon tin containers and that also required calculations rather than trial and error or tinkering with off-the-shelf units. We lived through WW2 and my three brothers and I did fill in our time with formal engineering education at a university and the mathematical engineering contents were high which enabled us to handle very complex state control systems and their stability. At the university, we were the first to design and deposit resistances and capacitors on glass substrates leading the way in microelectronics. To be honest my heart sinks when the people seen in this video use Tx Rx and servos and such sophisticated electronics on disposal throw way units. If only rather than tinkering with them they would appreciate the level of intelligence that goes on to understand the intelligent circuits that are enclosed within them. Even designing and building a bootstrap circuit used to make us very happy and as we could not afford to do what young people do in this video we used to dismantle one circuit and use the capacitors and transistors and resistors in another circuits, we did not mind the inductors as we designed and wounded them according to (N^2)/S, One of the most difficult circuits we designed at around 1955, was the counter circuit which detected the synch pulse and then counted the number of pulses to decode each channel. These electronic circuits we later used to design the arithmetic logic units in microprocessors. Those young people who wish to take up engineering must be able to persevere beyond tinkering with off the self bought units and they need to be patient to build up a solid background in mathematics and now computer programming using engineering-oriented software. One cannot learn the highest grade of engineering by tinkering with the available devices as that is more of a technician level and not an engineering level. Any engineering direction needs a high amount of mathematical knowledge to be able to appreciate the many higher aspects that tinkering and assembling units bought off the shelf gives the operator a good thrill but that is not what one calls engineering. Engineering does not need the sensationalism that normally accompanies videos on RU-vid. Here is one aspect of the mathematical contents in engineering. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r6sGWTCMz2k.html. Laplace functions and Maxell's equations and Navier Stoke equations are also beautiful mathematical tinkering that needs perseverance and a higher effort to follow........ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--LsXjVfucHU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-5bi7dxHP4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gq-sUhP3kDI.html

Mum needs to be in every video!!!! Hilarious

Yes! Awesome video and I'm really glad you're getting your own sponsors. You really should get more money for all your work

Put iNav in it and send it to another country

4:37 its not powered by salt water. Its powered by PeterScripol's greatness!

Awesome to see this stuff being built into a boat, engineering and construction at its finest.

One of the most under rated youtubers! Can’t wait for a million

1:42 you have good taste in music, electro swing is one of my favorite genres

It's so happy to see you visited my country. There are kids out there who make RC planes like you. Hope you can share your knowledge with them when you visit next time. Keep up the good work Peter 👏

Thank you for visiting Srilanka we are appreciate that you are here to test your boat

YES! i freaking love Monody! i enjoy your weird projects. cheers Peter!

Can you please build a steam boat I would like to see that. And if it is possible make it powered by the wheel in the back

Hi Peter . WOW ! You are super smart & talented . Love how you used computer design, electronics & artistic skills to create a really dope RC boat . Love your vlogs . Mark (Toronto) 💙😀👍

As always, great video. Thanks

I was WONDERING what the solar panel was for

Impressive you got the waterline so accurate on model. well done. Also, Your mum seems great fun.

Peter you are so briliant! I really admire your creations! I am one of your fans.

Make an aircraft carrier like the real nuclear powered that doesn't need to be re-fueled.

You should have used rectangular probes instead of cylindrical shaped ones. Usually it's the surface area and not the volume that matters.

"I didn't fare well in the usual education setting..." so I BUILT MY OWN PERSONAL PLANE OUT OF HOBBY MATERIALS AND SPARE PARTS. Just knowing that is awesome. Keep it up

yet again another cool concept and build.

I know your parents are very proud of your, Peter. You make them very happy. I hope you never do drugs or alcohol. Stay clean and stay smart. You will go far!

Dude make a boat out of food with William osman

Please Upload to Thingiverse so I can have 2 unfinished boats ;) Love your work!

So happy to see you filmed in my country

Your videos are so cool ! Thank you so much 😎😃

Thanks Peter for the perfect Valetine Gift *i loove your videos*

Boaty McBoat Face.

7:29 LOVE the monody song, water splashing and the cinematic :)

You are crazy in such a good way. Awesome project and editing!

If they used this concept to power cargo ships, that would be pure green energy from an endless, renewable resource. I love all of your videos

Hell yea wheels and cheese! Should make those fly.

This is one of the best educational/entertaining videos ive ever seen

love the builds, and the creativity, especially the airplanes. :)

*CIA* "Yo can i stay for a night"

Keep up the good work Peter!!!

I just love how your breakfast table looks just like ours! All the same elements just slightly different order

Good going Peter, Nice work👍

Your mom is hilarious!

You know what would be really cool, A model submarine. and like a real nice one able to dive at least like a 100ft

awesome! I've been wondering about this for years myself

I really like watching your videos somewhere good summer or not but that's the way things go in life sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not keep up the good work I enjoy watching the videos and sharing them you're a really good young man and you have a very nice family.

1:29 CAD, 3d printing, electric swing: HELL YEAH!

Peter, logic will get you from "A" to "B". Imagination will take you everywhere, of which you have proven to be true. Keep your mind alive.

welcome to srilankan and i'm from srilanka as well and i love your videos

oh man i am a big fan of you and now you were in my country, sri lanka , that's nice.

Awesome video! Very clever, always learning something, you should start your videos like Bardwell, " I'm Peter Sripol and your gonna learn something today." 😂. Jk, that's probably copyrighted 😂

8:23 it has to be going at least 75mph😂

Very cool and fitting music 😎👍👌

Nice enthusiasm

8:10 to 8:30 without the music is hilarious😂

Plz do more airplane projects..

hey peter, I am A Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering student.Your video made me feel bit satisfied of the concepts since i've been thinking of this concept a long long time ago before i saw this video rn... Due to this, I can say that this concept really works and I am planning to improve the Efficiency of this Concept...Hoping for your Collaborations someday whenever there is a specific questions I needed how you work on this prototype.

เคยคิดแบบนี้เหมือนกัน เยี่ยมมากเลย ทำต่อไป ผมตามดูอยู่ตลอด 👏 👍👍👍

IS THAT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK. I've been using _Catholic_ protection to prevent hull corrosion. No wonder the priest was so confused when I asked him if the sacrament was zinc-fortified.

make a boat like in the movie ponyo on the cliff where they had a candle powered boiler push a boat!

You´re the best Peter

Omg your mother is adorable! This video is genius!

Make a fusion reactor (yes it's legal)

There aren’t 3D files for this ship.........? Are there?

Glad you tested it in Sri Lanka! Hope you enjoyed the holiday.

This is revolutionary

How about a Pop Rocks Propulsion boat? 🤔

I love it how most of the major RU-vid engineers dropped out of school. It’s neat

Great design

Solid works

Build a RC aircraft carrier and a carrier capable plane!

How have i not seen this before???

You flew to the opposite side of the world to test it, I respect that.

Holy cow Peter! I always thought you had a aeronautical engineering degree. Just goes to show you can learn from making. Keep up the great work.

Dood plz make an rc submarine (like this comment if you agree )

3:40 *"ITS LASER TIME"*

THIS IS AWSOME!!!!

tnx for coming to our country

Couldn't this idea be realised in a much larger scale as well?

10:00 wait im confused, is it real or just a joke?

Great video. ☺️

thats so cool bro u saved the world

What 3D modelling Software do you use to model your Projects? @PeterSripol :D Thanks in advance Dzn.exeYT

It is not powered by the water though. It is just an electrolyte...

The shot of the traffic at 4:47 actually triggered some road-rage for me, that little car totally cut off that bus

I'm mainly self taught too . Cool video Peter Thanks Man :)

Amazing I want u to continue with these things I find them very interesting like if u agree

Steam boats,electric boats I sleep Sail boats REAL SHIT Salt water boat *ASCENDED*

There has been a wave powered boat I saw in action that would go forever. Even in almost stagnant water it still moved fairly good. In regular sized waves, if moved really good with the waves and even better against the waves. It worked great on a rowboat. It would be a very big apparatus for a large ship. It looked rather like a combination hydrofoil and wing that was mounted under the ship.
