This is the video people have been waiting for. We get more questions about how we created our port hole than any other question about our home bar. I was inspired by the imagineering behind the Disneyland Submarine Voyage ride and the bubbles that could be seen during the ride. Naturally, I had to take it as far as possible in creating our own port hole at home.
Our port hole is made up of a few main components.
1. metal ship port hole
2. water tank
3. bubble generation
4. lighting
5. television with content
This was a collaboration between @thekrakatoaproject, Biopixel of Australia and the tank builder in Oregon, Envision Acrylics. These folks all deserve great thanks in making this happen.

I am doing a basement bar 20000 leagues under the sea and I was trying to find something like this I thought I was strange that no one has done this and here you are. Amazing Job. well done.

@BetterCocktails Год назад

Glad you liked what we did. Have anything special planned for your 20,000 leagues themed bar?

@franktamburrino738 Год назад

@@BetterCocktails Hey thanks for replying. Want to do 2 portholes like you have with a cocktail table 1/2 circle on the wall across from the bar and behind the bar large center window like the one in the original salon of the nautilus with a squid either as a forced perspective diorama a 3d picture like the artists do with multiple layers just would need a stiff paper or plastic for that. saw some really great signs and things on etsy as well. I will be doing this design for sure with or without tv or maybe even a diorama behind it. I love the idea of 1/2 distilled water and 1/2 vodka to prevent algae.

This is great Brian! The porthole is fantastic! Now I know the magic - Someday I'll have one🧜‍♂

@BetterCocktails 2 года назад

I'll gladly help you build it.

Fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for. Do you have links to the Biopixel footage? I’ve found their video library on their site but curious which ones you used.

@BetterCocktails 4 месяца назад

This is a really good public video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ehC5kXA70Ao.html On their site, search for static shots. I got some manta ray footage and some reef footage from them. They might have some stuff not listed. I think the biggest key is getting static or "locked off" footage.

This is incredible - I’m at the idea stage of creating a nautically themed restaurant and this is exactly what I had in my brain but had no idea how to even begin doing it! Roughly what was the cost?

@BetterCocktails 4 месяца назад

Thanks. Glad you like it. I think it cost me about $800 in equipment and materials.

@carolc3690 7 месяцев назад

This is so awesome. I love it! Do you happen to have any links to the pumps/tubes you used? I'm searching around Amazon a bit blankly as i dont really know what to look for. Thank you!

@BetterCocktails 7 месяцев назад

The tubing is just standard 1/8" aquarium tubing. I just found a pump on Amazon with good power and good reviews. They make little inline air values to reduce air flow if you need to.

@jcost0099 3 года назад

Found your vid on the Adventureland Tiki Room builds... LOVE IT! (just curious... would a swaying piece of kelp or sea grass work?) also... how tempting is it to want to put some risque mermaids into view?!

@BetterCocktails 3 года назад

That would be cool. I have and idea of how I can incorporate some seaweed, but I was thinking of doing it externally from the water tank.

@TJ-sp9xp 3 года назад

I would do it externally like you mentioned and have fans aiming at it from the different sides of the tank so you can control how the kelp would move.

@BetterCocktails 3 года назад

This is the probably the direction I'd try first. Getting the movement right would be tough.

Aloha Brian! Can you share with me the company name on Oregon who you used to create your water tank? Looks fantastic! Many thanks!

@shireman182 2 года назад

This is incredible! Curious about the overall budget, and what pumps you chose to use?

@BetterCocktails 2 года назад

Glad you like it. I just used a cheap $7 tetra pump for the single bubble and a $50 dual outlet pump for the wall of bubbles. Nothing fancy. Total budget for port hole was around $1,000. I think. That's materials, test build, TV, content licensing, vendor, pumps, smart plugs, etc.

@Thrice1337 3 года назад

Curious what liquid you are using in the tank? I’m actually planning a similar prop using a dive helmet. I was looking for an alternative to water to keep the water sterile and free of algae growth. Possibly vodka, mineral oil or something else.

@BetterCocktails 3 года назад

I forgot to mention that in the video. Right now, I'm just using distilled water. I haven't had any issues yet. I figure I'll have to give it a cleaning once a year to keep the dust off, etc. I would think that mineral oil would impact how the bubbles flow due to the viscosity. Might be a cool look. If you go with alcohol, I would think that you could water it down a bit and still keep any growth to a minimum.

@Thrice1337 3 года назад

@@BetterCocktails that’s a great point. Maybe I can do something like a 50/50 mix of vodka and distilled water to keep the liquid sterile and still provide the right movement.
