Building a Waterjet Paddleboard
Рет қаралды 4,726
6 ай бұрынWaterjet propulsion uses an impeller to pressurize water and expel it through a nozzle to generate thrust. This system is an unnecessarily cool way to harness the power of water to provide propulsion; but, is a paddleboard equipped to carry such a system?
Thank you for watching my first KZfaq Video!

This is such a unique project. The design and build is complex and the outcome is so cool.

fantastic job! we'll be here waiting on more projects! Found this because I want to build a similar jet drive for my ride on kayak :)

It looks amazing, specially with all the 3D design !! Congratulations! I built something similar but with a kayak, I have a short video in my profile you can see, but I’m still working on it.

Ive watched a few builds like this and even huge battery's only got like 30min run time.. I keep thinking use weed wacker engines maybe with a wet exhaust to keep it mellow sound wise....

just to let you know as ive been researching water jets for my own jet board project, water jets are supposed to be above the water, sucking it in from below, if they are under water they are much less efficient, on boats they are under water till the boats wake allows them to be above the water, strange i know but its true.
@expresscrayfish6094 3 күн бұрын
if you put them closer to the top rather than in the middle then the wake of your board will also allow them to be above the water and you'll get a better result, itll be working against gravity a bit more but without the river water pushing against the water coming out of the jet causing resistance to the water coming out the gravity problem is negligible

Congrats for the first video, really good. And great work with board. I'm building small jet boat for Riverside communities here in Amazon Rainforest. Can you advise please on what motor best suits. How can I reach you?

Any e-foil motors (such as Flipsky) would work great for that application. The motors used here (Turnigy Aquastar) are a little undersized for anything other than a small project like this :)
