@@tbonemc2118 you might be forgetting the weight of what the boat is carrying. Sort of like the toy people on the paperplate at the beginning of this video. Without them the plate would be unsinkable but with them it went to the bottom. Stay safe.
A GOOD IDEA! A great way to recycle plastic into something permanent and useful...as well as saving trees. Very best wishes from your neighbours...Australia.
Brilliant engineering, beautiful design, bear in mind that it is foolish to call a boat "unsinkable", not because of superstition but because anything can be broken, even HDPE which works very well, but only within certain temperature ranges.
great idea and design! I would say you should try using 2 pvc pontoons as the main part of the boat.. it would float higher above the water and the outboard motors would propel the boat easier and with less wake/splashing like the splashing seen at 5:05..
Salute! Bringing a simple idea and scaling it up with incredible resourcefulness. I am truly inpressed by the technology used and the investment made to realise its full potential. Truly amazing.
Really? You believe trees are being saved by the chemical and petroleum industries that pollute our air, water and food supplies with an unsustainable, one time use material which takes centuries to return to it's elemental form. You are dangerously stupid.
@@UguysRnuts yes it may saved if we use that pipe instead of using wood to make a boat..industries are everywhere and its part of growing country to have a lot of industries.what i mean is to minimize cutting trees in there place to make their boat. that step may not totally can clean or stopped polluted air but it may help to stomped plodding ...did you think of that bright man hahhaahahahaha
Wood is a far more environmentally sustainable build product. It is also renewable by planting trees. Petroleum products, plastics, are not an improvement. They should be used with caution.
Add solar power, make the floats narrower and taller, then give it eletric engines, and youve got something the family can use to fish with, without refueling. I love how the seats turned out in the inner hull.
Great concept. The idea presents a shallow draft boat, very boyant, capable of handling rough water, and very repairable. If these pontoons were sold to custom order, it would be practical to build a catamaran pontoon boat for a very affordable price.
Fantastic video I hope there’s some way to implement the use of recycled plastics? Awesome designs very simple and practical. We spent a lot of time sailing around Lombok and the islands in the south are some of our favourite. Indonesia is a beautiful country!
absolutely awesome! i agree filling with a foam would truly make them unsinkable. the current design is a massive step up from a fiberglass boat but you'd only need two holes worn or poked into the pontoon for it to start filling. given the amount of wear this boat would likely see, it would happen eventually. but even then your looking at years of good use and patching them really well is certainly possible to.
UA-cam recommended your video, because of my interest in HDPE. Very nice design showing thoughtfulness for the uses it might have. Good luck with your endeavor.
I am just curious how stable a pontoon boat is in rough water. This is an interesting video on how to solve a problem. Here in Mexico they use a boat called a panga. The guy that spent multiple months adrift in the Pacific Ocean was in one and his major worry was never sinking only getting enough drinking water.
Was it UV treated? Nice idea, especially if the plastic is recycled. Also solar panels and electric motors, with the batteries inside the main float (have the end removable), for ballast.
I have been wondering, for decades, why all boats aren't made this way. I started a small-scale project using recycled bottles but was labelled a "crackpot." Thank you for realising that dream. God bless you!
Your idea is great, but if you build a platform on top of the tubular pipe like hulls, the weight of the platform forces them beneath the water. Making it a much smoother ride, because these hulls ride beneath the water like a torpedo, instead of on top of the water which is rough. You would have to place the outboards on the stilts or vertical beams that hold up the platform. This type of design is called a SWATH small waterline area twin hull. This is the future of all boating being, fishing, sailboats, ships & even ferries boats.
I am glad you mentioned the splashing, since this design will not be very suitable for rough ocean conditions. You were lucky to have a smooth first journey. The bow needs to be higher and also the shape of the hull needs to be curved upwards like a banana, with a straight pipe design it is not possible to achieve good rough weather capabilities. But the idea is good 👍⚓
A very nice solution to the problems you mentioned both with wooden and fiberglass boats. One point that the video did not answer was how does the boat handle turbulent waters and storm conditions? Often multihull boats are more stable capsized than upright, so it would be interesting to check that failure mode to see what can be done in the design to reduce the likelihood of a capsize.
@Roger Rarebit -- From the article in Britannica: "The idea that the ship was unsinkable was advanced by newspaper and magazine articles as well as advertisement materials from the shipping company." That was going on before the ship left for NYC. Nevertheless, you are correct that the ship's builder did not tout their creation as unsinkable.
Excellent construction, long life expectancy, presumably Maintenance free too, if small hole used you can use expanding foam in a can, to retro fill foam in to. Main buoyancy chambers, foam with micro bubbles offer more unsinkability, well done guys very well thought out, and very well presented.... Thom in Scotland.
congrats pa, mantabs. sendainya di bawah hull nya di beri semacam sirip atau di buat lancip mungkin bisa lebih stabil, atau diberi pemberat mungkin supaya gravitasi nya tetap dibawah. dan gejala roling nya bisa di minimalisir.. kereennn kayanya lebih cocok untuk sungai2.
Now we can collect the island full Plastics that roams and floats around the earths waters and turn it into like of that remarkable boat from indonesia🙏
Outstanding. Men building tools to provide for family and neighbors. Great stuff. Love to see a Sail powered Catamaran looks like you already have most of the parts.
your jukung may be tough to overturn; but this one 7:14 catamaran has very high risk to overturn especially when it carries so many passengers. becareful.
I really enjoyed watching this experiment - some excellent progression of taking the ideas and putting them into practice - thank you for sharing this video
great! However wouldn't have been more appropriate to send the boat out into rough seas to test its purported un-sinkability? I mean, that's the argument you make at the very beginning with the plate test. Also, with respect to the issue of adding more micro-plastic to the ocean, to what degree does this material break down over time? Have you thoroughly tested(considered) that aspect?
The trimaran design have been in use in the Philippines since ancient times, at present they used bamboos, marine plywood and 14hp gasoline or deisel engines
flowing on water is one thing. but i suggest you do a crash test , see if the pipe ever hit something and have a crack, still be flowing ? this is for safety concern.
This is not harsh sea at all but It is true that this catamaran style boats are good for harsh seas. You should film the same boat in 3 meter waves... Then it proves these designs are unsinkable
I suggest you modify the damp that seals the end ofthe tube so that it produces a more hydrodynamic form to improve fuel efficiency. Also, why not seal the stern (back) of the tubes with a simple clamp seal ?
The black version is very good 100 years + probably we dont know it’s that good. it off gases so little under uv light it’s hard to measure and purity has a huge margin of error effect.
HDPE seems to be an excellent material for boat building, be it from pipes or from sheets. It has to be treated to be UV resistant. The concept presented here is very interesting; it looks easy and simple to realize, ... provided that you have the machines !! Having said that, in case of collision against a reef, the hull can break, ... and the boat is not unsinkable any more !!!
Fantastic use of the new technology.. how about a pipe in a pipe tech. The inner pipe is for fuel, water etc, still unsinkable. The mind boggles. Great video.
Are you sure they are unsinkable? Did you make them UV resistant to prevent the suns rays from making the plastic brittle or crumbly and fill them with flotation foam just i case they get a hole in them? they are neat, thanks for showing that to everyone.
How much do the pontoons weigh per meter or foot? Fantastic idea here in the United States we have aluminum pontoons, but the plastic would work perfect in the Philippines is what I’m thinking.
I hope the pontoons consist of more than one compartment. Else, if there was a collision or leak the whole pontoon will fill with water and the boat sink or topple over. Is there any way to get water out of the pontoons?
Fantastic design and production. It could be an answer to the waste plastic problem of the world, convert recyclable plastic into pontoons for use in boats, houseboats, etc.
Well thought out plan...! I like the idea.. I have to agree with pre comment of need for closed cell foam.. But all is very good idea... I think this could be an idea with international calling.. I live in Florida, United States and see all the time boats in boatyards.. Not long ago I was repairing a boat for a friend and boat next to his was nearly completed and before long ready to go out fishing.. I was not finished with my friends boat when same boat returned back to boat yard in need of repairs again... So I understand the idea of building a better boat that will not sink or broken and in need of repairs... Do not stop, refine idea further and build better boats... Your boats will be here long time after we are gone, this idea could be your mark in history.. Best of luck and good fortune to you....!
I love that design I guess you could put some sort of platform down to where you could walk out side floats. How well would those boats do in rough water?
It’s a great start but unsinkable will not stop it from capsizing and drowning everyone on board. You have the perfect platform for solar panels overhead eliminating the need for imported fuels. But I would address the issue of drag first. Those pontoons can be shaped to cut through the water then widening gradually. That will increase speed, efficiency and reduce splashing/drag.They can even be raised so they don’t touch the water when you’re traveling at speed. And you have too many braces for the outriggers. You can reduce your weight considerably by eliminating half the braces.
Looks like semi displacement hull shapes? It may be possible to take more advantage of benefits of hydrodynamic design to improve efficiency at design cruise speed. What is the difference in material density compared to standard fiberglass layup?
There is another guy who made a home made version of a boat like this. His UA-cam channel called Marjamada. His catamaran is called RebalCat. He made a few different videos on the subject between 2009 to 2012. It is nice to see a that someone else made a larger factory built boat like you did. 👍🙂👍
A great idea. Perhaps it is your long term plan, why didn't you use some of the hdpe that is polluting just about every water way on the planet instead using new hdpe pellets
@@AquatecIndonesia agreed, but even recycling a small percentage in the mix would help reduce some of the stuff fouling the oceans that both our countries rely on
@@georgesmith4509 Agreed, thank you. So far we use leftover HDPE from our production line. If we can find high quality recycled HDPE, we will add it into the mix.
How stable is the material with UV (sunlight) damage? Also how long does it last if the bottom part is scraped on a sea shore where there is no proper harbour and the bottom is scratched by dead coral/rocks. Great idea for boats, but I would not put HDPE plastic and 'environmentally friendly' in the same sentence, sorry!
Having operated and sailed for many years on fiberglass catermaran, I found the most vulnerable item on the boat was the spreader bars, especially where/how they were attached to the main hull. In rough weather, with stormy seas, these attachment points are incredibly stressed. in the time I owned the boat, much attention had to focused on these attachment points to ensure they did not fail in stormy seas. I note too, as this boat in the video is basicly a proof of concept idea, it does not cater for storage of equipment or catch. So how would this concept replace traditional wooden boats that have this ???
I agree as well, I believe this can be solved by filling the tubes with close-cell foam to form and make the compartments water tight, also saw a post by which I will share below that makes design sense as the concept develops and with naval architecture in mind.

how is this unsinkable? if the fused ends open which they will do as some stage as the pipe ages they will sink like a stone. Likewise if the pipe gets a hole in it from striking some underwater object... sinks...
I think it’s great but how does it compare in weigh to a similar boat? I’m just wondering not criticising. Is there a pressure valve refill valve in the pontoons to allow for hot cold expansion which could cause small fractures or is there enough give in the plastic to accommodate ? Cheers and well done
Expansion and contraction and air pressure is insignificant as the pipe is designed to operate at full working pressure for years and none of that capacity is being used in this design. The danger would be that the pontoons have sufficient wall thickness so that the walls don't flex while the boat is planning. Just like steel, HDPE will fatigue fracture if it is bent back and forth long enough.
Can you make one from Recycled HDPE just as a trial? The marketing potential may outweight the extra costs, especially if the west believes you are cleaning up the Plastic waste around Indonesia to make the boats.
It was really an amazing construction from plastic components. But the only comment I can say is that the PVC pipe as time it gets to use will become brittle and will easily break of crack up especially if it hits or being hit by a solid object. Other than that no more to say, But, do continue ingenious your sdesign as to improved innovation in design engineering. Good luck!!!
HDPE UV resistance? Like the idea over aluminum expense and structural cracking. Field repair/weld kits would be ideal. No non-sense build and idea improvements for anti-sinking would be good safety sales point and if updates are designed to retrofit already sold units to improve safety as knowledge increases with boat materials and structural engineering. Would expect to see 45 degree angle braces for outriggers to pontoon to support pushing forces. Way to mount outriggers in a manner to be able to transport in an onsite kit buildable design to extend market reach. Good video and thank you very much for your time and ideas.
Great start in idea. But, the inside of the closed in pipe needs to be filled with closed cell foam, then truly it will be unsinkable.
Not true. Even if pontoons were holed it would never sink because the specific gravity of HDPE is lighter than water.
@@tbonemc2118 no it’s not
@@shantytownshipwright7334 Oh yes it is. An open ended pipe will float in water. .94 to .96 to be exact.

In rough weather, with stormy seas, these attachment points are incredibly stressed. in the time I owned the boat, much attention had to focused on these attachment points to ensure they did not fail in stormy seas. I note too, as this boat in the video is basicly a proof of concept idea, it does not cater for storage of equipment or catch. So how would this concept replace traditional wooden boats that have this ???
I agree as well, I believe this can be solved by filling the tubes with close-cell foam to form and make the compartments water tight, also saw a post by which I will share below that makes design sense as the concept develops and with naval architecture in mind.

I am glad you mentioned the splashing, since this design will not be very suitable for rough ocean conditions. You were lucky to have a smooth first journey. The bow needs to be higher and also the shape of the hull needs to be curved upwards like a banana, with a straight pipe design it is not possible to achieve good rough weather capabilities.
But the idea is good 👍⚓
how is this unsinkable? if the fused ends open which they will do as some stage as the pipe ages they will sink like a stone. Likewise if the pipe gets a hole in it from striking some underwater object... sinks...
Pretty cool. Maybe look at adding retractable fins and adjustable transom
for a hydrofoil effect.
Wow that is a wonderful example of the possibilities of your vessel..I am interested in purchasing one then perhaps more in the future..
I think it’s great but how does it compare in weigh to a similar boat? I’m just wondering not criticising. Is there a pressure valve refill valve in the pontoons to allow for hot cold expansion which could cause small fractures or is there enough give in the plastic to accommodate ? Cheers and well done
Expansion and contraction and air pressure is insignificant as the pipe is designed to operate at full working pressure for years and none of that capacity is being used in this design.
The danger would be that the pontoons have sufficient wall thickness so that the walls don't flex while the boat is planning. Just like steel, HDPE will fatigue fracture if it is bent back and forth long enough.
What if you get a hole in the plastic, say from beaching it so many times. Wouldn’t it fill with water and be unsafe?
Can you make one from Recycled HDPE just as a trial? The marketing potential may outweight the extra costs, especially if the west believes you are cleaning up the Plastic waste around Indonesia to make the boats.
Very nice boat...more safety and strong than wood boat....thank you for your new technology..it will help alot in fishing industry and livelihood....
Beautiful boats. I wish I had one 😊 I wish you great success in building your company.
Pretty cool but the hull shape is very inefficient maybe the tube could.be heated and a pressure could be put on it to expand into a mould
how is the cost comparison of similar boat made with wood, one would think the hdpe would last longer and lower maintenance
It was really an amazing construction from plastic components. But the only comment I can say is that the PVC pipe as time it gets to use will become brittle and will easily break of crack up especially if it hits or being hit by a solid object. Other than that no more to say, But, do continue ingenious your sdesign as to improved innovation in design engineering. Good luck!!!
HDPE UV resistance?
Like the idea over aluminum expense and structural cracking.
Field repair/weld kits would be ideal.
No non-sense build and idea improvements for anti-sinking would be good safety sales point and if updates are designed to retrofit already sold units to improve safety as knowledge increases with boat materials and structural engineering.
Would expect to see 45 degree angle braces for outriggers to pontoon to support pushing forces.
Way to mount outriggers in a manner to be able to transport in an onsite kit buildable design to extend market reach.
Good video and thank you very much for your time and ideas.
