@mewmaster151 thats a really good idea! only thing u need to be careful of is that bottles leak when under large pressure. need to melt each cap onto each bottle to be safe
why do u use my name! now all the sexy women out there know who i am and will find me. And its dangerous when too many sexy women are fighting over one man!!! Greggles think these things through.
And even though i had thick steel, the boat was too wide and the steel would bend about 10cm towards me when paddling which was unforseen and an EPIC FAIL LOL. Possibly narrower boat would have been both lighter and more structurally solid. :D thanks for comment.
Excellent experiment! Looks like you finally understood the concept of flotation. I have two videos here about making sailboats from PVC pipe, and I have always wanted to make a pedal boat like yours. Maybe now I will. Thanks for the inspiration.
Well.... at the first launch It was a heavy piece of machiery, much and was much denser then water. It couldnt displace enough water to keep itself afloat, then we added an extra pipe u cant see, that is much larger, under the smaller poly pipes and then it could float :D It was really trial and error going into the boat, not too much mathematics or engineering. Just couple of guys in bak shed trying to make something cool
yes good suggestion, except propellor costs money and i dont have money :( haha and i dont have the equipment to build one but yes it would go lightning fast with a propellor. thanx for suggestion :)
Haha awesome yes for those who dont know max is the cool dog and craig did fall over haha! I dont know who this is :S maybe a stalker?? maybe a friend??? :)
that is one cool swamp boat.

smaller gear on the paddle equals more speed

100% correct, how do i make a light paddle?
And even though i had thick steel, the boat was too wide and the steel would bend about 10cm towards me when paddling which was unforseen and an EPIC FAIL LOL. Possibly narrower boat would have been both lighter and more structurally solid. :D thanks for comment.

Replace the paddle with a propeller and you'd have some nice speed.

how do you steer with that???
5245jah 4 years ago
hey, the way we steer is controlled by a rudder (20cm*30cm) mounted on the front of the pedal boat, a rope used to turn rudder :D
The Early stage of the pedalboat didnt have a rudder cuz it just kept sinking!! hope u enjoyed the video nd thanks for commenting..
