Making The ELECTRIC Raft Powered by Batteries

If this video does well I will start building a modular system for the raft. Imagine a sauna, jump tower or a hot tub on seperate modules that could be connected to the main raft. Thumbs up if that's something you would like to see.

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 KZfaqr to me !

@MythicLionMan 2 жыл бұрын

Here's an idea: install a big steering servo on the shaft of the motor. Then you could make the whole raft RC (goes with the channel name). But once that's done, install an Pixhawk with Arduboat and you can have the raft run waypoint missions around the lake while you party. Or just do station holding to account for the fact that you lost your anchor again. Or program the boat to follow the surfboard (it wouldn't be able to keep up, but it would at least be closer when you were done).

@tuner25 2 жыл бұрын

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!

Simon those brackets you put on to remove the brace are called knee joints. You should have knee joints on each column in 2 directions so you don't end up with a folding top floor.

@keysimfr 2 жыл бұрын

a folding top floor hahahaha, love it

@rosserobertolli 2 жыл бұрын

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

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.

If you put diagonal braces in all eight corners across the top it will make the upper deck where it will no wobble at all. Matter of fact, you can probably use shorter braces if you put them in all eight corners so you can have the maximum headroom and still have a rock solid upper deck.
