Frictionless Hydroplane With Aerodynamic Steering

Рет қаралды 592,377

Күн бұрын

In today's video we're building a hydroplaning RC boat from 3D printed parts that can skip on water, which results in insane speeds. It's powered by 3 small drone motors in the rear and propellers above to water so that it can even drive on grass. Because of the pontoons the hull raises above the surface of the water and reduces friction greatly.

The boat you designed is called an outrigger. We used to race them all the time. The key is having a “turn fin” on the inside edge of the sponson closest to the center of the course. It acts like a pivot that the boat turns around. Some folks put a hook on the bottom to plant the sponsor more under hard turning.

Wow! This took me back about 25 years, where as a kid I built a couple of RC boats that looked exactly like one you've made. Litterally the same! It was a lot slower though... back then I only had access to DC motors. Brushless 3 phase motors and LipO batteries had yet to really enter the RC world. Very nostalgic video, thanks!

@UppfinnarAXEL 11 ай бұрын

The brushless motors are DC, but the fish prefer AC-powered hoverboards. So, they set off on a quest to find the mystical flux capacitor, only to discover it was just a toaster in disguise. But fear not, for the talking toaster had the wisdom of a thousand algorithms and guided them to the land of perpetual bubble wrap, where the rivers flowed with melted plastic and the trees bore cotton candy clouds. And thus, they fished under the neon moonlight, serenaded by the harmonious hum of a thousand electric toothbrushes eating in perfect harmony.

Rubberband powered planes are cheap to make. Check out in the indoor f1d planes that can fly for an hour on one strip of rubber. You don't even need propellers though as loads of gliders you can make from free plans online. I want to make a radio controlled discus launch glider, that you throw into the air. once you get a transmitter/ controller, you can make loads of other models cheaply that all work with it.

@gordslater Жыл бұрын

Just a thought - you used a LOT of expanding foam there. Once you spray it in, it will expand considerably eventually forming large bubbles if there is little to constrain it, giving a very light result. If you spray a LOT in, the bubbles will be constrained and smaller, but there will be weight (mass) from more foam (and less gas bubble volume) To achieve the lightest result, you need to gauge just how little you need to spray in so it's mianly bubbles with minimal mass from the foam material itself. For small voids like yours, a surprisingly small amount of foam needs to be injected. One tip is to leave 10 or 15 seconds between squits into the same cavity - to allow the first squirt to expand out without beings constrained by nearby squirts. A seconds tip is do it on a warm day or in a warm room, and gently warm the spray can to 30C first (shaking often) in a bowl of warm water before you start. This makes the foam expand much more. Make sure the fuselage/hull components are at 30C too. If you know beforehand (at the design stage) that you will fill your cavities with foam, design them to be relatively free of obstructions so the foam will expand and flow well. However, for maximum strength, you may wish to deliberately introduce spars for rigidity though then you need to drill more holes and inject small amounts at more positions to ensure good foam filling. Also be careful with comples internal spars if weight and balance is vitally important - for aircraft for example. If the foam does not flow evenly into all parts it will affect the balance being lighter is areas that the foam does not reach or where it is less dense. I foam. A lot. It's not always easy haha.

@arturama8581 Ай бұрын

I never do it otherwise. Using a turn fin makes it get stuck in waterplants. I do use a rudder, but it lifts from the water as the boat starts to plane.

@sleeplessstu Жыл бұрын

Here from Lake Washington, home of the iconic hydroplane races of Seattle, I might make one suggestion to your speedy craft. If you want the boat to carry more weight (ie a camera mount near the center of gravity) you might try covering your carbon tubes with an aerodynamic wing to give the hull more lift. This is how the unlimited class hydros carry their big turbines.

I lived in Bothell back in the 80s and watched many races on Lake Wasjington. The transition from the Rolls Merlins to the turbines was a bit sad but cool in their own way.

@@phillipzx3754 I completely agree. It was a sad day when the Merlins fell silent. They were no longer the “Thunder Boats” of old. With all the other activities of Seafair the hydro races just aren’t what they used to be. Everyone even knew the names of all the drivers when I was a kid.
