    This was a major nostalgia moment for me.
    When I was at university (University College, Durham, England) in 1969, I decided to participate in a "Raft Race" which was an annual event at that time. Most of the entrants cobbled together junk and anything that would float, and hoped for the best. I had some limited woodworking skills, so I decided to make one from scratch, and the idea was somewhat like yours, but at that time I had never even heard of hydrodynamics, so my raft was much cruder. Each hull top and bottom was was 10 foot long by 10 inch wide by 3/4 inch thick pine from the local hardware store. I tapered the ends of the boards somewhat like your technique, and then applied lengths of fiberboard 12 inches wide vertically like in your design. It was held together by roofing nails about two inches apart!!!. I then painted it over and over again, until I could be sure it would last at least an hour in the water. I made two kayak paddles from more or less similar materials.
    I then recruited a friend who was a long-distance athlete, which I was definitely not.
    The course was about a mile along the River Wear which runs right through Durham, round the castle and cathedral. There were about 15 entrants. I had no idea how well it would perform, and never had the opportunity to have a test run. Off we went. The raft paddled incredibly easily, steered well, but sluggishly compared to a canoe or kayak. There was not much freeboard!
    It seemed too easy. There was one other entrant who was quite fast, but their poor construction made them stop and make adjustments quite often. They also had six paddlers whereas I only had two. Eventually their raft came apart and they all took a swim. After that it was just keep going. I could tell we had a leak in one of the hulls but it didn't slow us down much. We won.
    Thank you for reminding me of this crazy stunt from 50 years ago.

    Several years ago, I retired and became bored with so much free time. I stumbled across some UA-cam videos regarding skin on frame kayaks and canoes. So I built one, and then I knew there was away to take that knowledge to the next level and began looking at Catalans. They came in all different sizes. I started looking into building one with the skin on frame design concept in mind. I started to design the Catamaran I wanted to build, but I was stuck at how to keep the deck sturdy enough, square and sufficient storage space. Watching this video answered all of those questioned and also answered a question I had on propulsion. I had not considered solar power and using trolling motors. Thank you for this video and other video's that I have watched that have given me a treasure trove of knowledge from which I have put into actual practice on little projects.
    Please keep up your awesome work and the diverse video content. So much information, explained in very concise form, coupled with the fact you make it all so interesting. Truly awesome work.

      @@Corndog4382 Well, very little of what is taught in an engineering college is considered cutting-edge or even acceptable in industry-best companies. There's a reason why 'academic' and 'professional' are so vastly different. A degree will let you learn the basics and bare basics only. Can ideas from channels like this be turned into mass-produced stuff? I don't think so, I completely agree with you there. Does the content allow for some innovative problem solving on real jobs? Definitely. I'm an automotive-engineer turned agricultural-engineer. Channels like this, or other domains of knowledge expand your thinking in a way that allows you to build on the basics and apply new ideas to old stuff. I'm no stranger to woodworking and carpentry, I'm also super familiar with automotive sheetmetal & fabrication work. But I've never built a boat. This channel's video on boatbuilding and fiberglass strengthening allowed me to apply fiberglass strengthening to some home-built furniture. I'm working on a commercial greenhouse project where metal was too heavy and wood was too weak for a certain aesthetic. Guess what the answer was? Fiberglass. Saved me money, and basically the project would have gone a lot slower (Or not gone ahead at all!) if not for the cross-domain ideas that come from channels like this.

  • @dustman96
    @dustman96 2 роки тому +2

    The reason for the tapered hull shape in the rear is to minimize turbulence. As you said, it takes energy to impart motion to a fluid mass, or any mass for that matter. If you create vortices you are changing the direction of motion of the water, which costs energy. The goal is to part and replace the water with as little disturbance as possible, whether that disturbance be waves or vortices. But if your hull is too long and skinny then you wind up with a lot of surface area relative to the volume. The more surface area the more friction. There is a sweet spot between these factors for a given speed and displacement.

    One of the best science / howto channels that I've ever seen anywhere! You've found the perfect mix of science, common sense explanation and very cool projects that are obtainable by an average person. I've watched every video that you ever put out and I can't wait to learn about the next project!

    "This is a hydrofoil" right at the end. Oh yes that brought a smile to my face. The tails at the back of the pontoons were also a bit of a giveaway as well. Your channel is not only entertainment. It's a resource that can be researched for later projects. Distilling whisky comes to mind.........
    Just a thought, maybe another foil, rigid surface sail possibly? Coupled with this design it would go like stink (a nautical term).

    TI: Wow...to everything in this video. The planning & engineering, the demonstration of the method of construction using a 1/4-scale model, the amount of thought that went into modularity and allowances for alternative means of propulsion. At one point, I found myself wondering, "How does he know all this stuff?", from batteries, to types of wood, structural members, and coatings, to the need for "sacrificial aluminum" keepers on a pivoted motor mount...etc. Amazing depth & breadth of knowledge here!
    The final mind-blower was in the last few seconds of the video, where you answered the question about why you used a high-speed prop on a boat that shouldn't be able to go more than a few knots with the simple statement, "This is a hydrofoil"...and then just grinned as you let the viewer make the connections that led to the downstream implications. 'Twas a joyous "Holy sh!t!!" moment. You sneaky bastidge...and I'm sure you realize I mean that in the nicest possible way.
    This is exactly what I was referring to in an earlier comment I posted on another video, about your creation of "story arcs"-not only within each video, but in the larger context of potential future videos. It's a level of subtlety and continuity of *_both_* creativity and content that, for my part, demands payment of gratitude via explicit acknowledgment. Superbly done, amigo!

    Currently building a 21' fishing boat with an old school 40's - 50's salmon troller look. Raised front deck, five window cabin with portholes, large cockpit with round stern similar to a tug. However trying to incorporate modern features without being so obvious. This is a displacement boat and I originally drew it up with electric propulsion ( trolling motors ) but could not find any suitable solution for speed and endurance so I have been considering dropping in a 40 hp outboard hidden under the rear deck. The thing that got me to watch your video was the name " Tesla ". I love that guy, his engineering and problem solving skills and creativity, a gift from God. You have some Tesla in you too, I may have a smidge but with no education. When people see my project under construction they always ask if I am an engineer. Pretty funny as I am a 70 year old high school dropout that never built anything. The propulsion system you put together was intriguing and well thought out. Please share with me how that worked out in in your sea trials and if any modifications were required if you would be so kind. One of the best videos I've seen.

    Having been an old Hobie Cat guy, one pontoon gets you up to nicer speed as it begins to hydrofoil. The trick is never to flip. In +10 years, I never did (unintentionally). Very proud of that. It is very doable due to the asymmetric developed shape of the Hobie pontoons. Never needed a motor. Thanks for doing this. Good luck with this venture. Nice to see the fundamentals explained instead of just a list of todos.

Then do 4-5 hours on weekends, maybe in the mornings, then spend the afternoons goofing off. It helps if you're the kind of person that plans ahead a bit though, I'm not that guy so my time is spent very inefficiently in many cases, but I can still tear through most tasks I put on my weekly todo list by wednesday.
