What foil shape did you choose for the foils? I assume it was one of the NACA shapes. Also what was the material and fabrication method? The front foils with the taper look particularly hard to machine.
@monstroth I'm building new foils, designed using xfoil. They are close to the NACA 66 series. The bow foil is of high density unidirectional fiberglass. The aftfoil is currrently machined aluminum. The new aft foil is of carbon and fiberglass. My website has more specifics. Googleing Harry Larsen will bring up the IHS site with a reference to my web site.
@talaria41 Harry, thanks for the response. One more quick question: I noticed in one of the photos on your Talaria IV website that the boil foil assembly has slight anhedral design. What was the purpose of that as opposed to having it be completely horizontal?
Yep. What you can do after you retire from a company that profits from making war machines. Too bad we waste our resources on war otherwise we all could be rich enough to own one of these.
How about when the computer crashes, what happens? Wouldn't be easier to make a very simple but reliable hardware based electronics with either an accelerometer or one or two side surface followers?
@EngineeringFun Yes, the Rave and Hobbie Trifoiler are examples of successful submerged foil hydrofoils using all mechanical feedback control systems. In this video Talaria is flown (from 1992 to 2008) using an analog computer for roll and a mechanical surface follower for height - a very reliable system. In video "Hydrofoil Dreamin" she is flown using a digital
I seen this video years ago and the technology is very cool, only problem is its not legal on any of the lakes I boat (state waters) I would have to assume its use would be ok on fed waters.
Check out the people building RC airplanes from foamboard. Some use tiny and not too expensive gyroscopes to enhance control. Some of those would work great for stability control on a hydrofoil.
Impressive, how much more efficient is this? With the decreased drag did you go for a prop that would give you more speed? How much would this cost? I want to build a human powered boat, I have a lot of research, I would love to pick Harry's brain to get his take on things,All the best.
@adsabine1 It has about 25% more speed as a hydrofoil and a higher pitched prop. In large quantities it should cost about 50% of the price of the boat before conversion.
@boostedpower what does having videos have to do with my boat? nothing really..but uh if you want me to upload a video of it in action come spring time consider it done
@elckicker No in your garage or back yard or where ever is fine really, just make sure to include my profile name so I know its actually yours... easy enough right, or you got another excuse why your not?
cool boat. but i just dont see hydrofoils practicality. their draft is terribly deep, the engine needs to run a prop a foot or lower then before and the anti roll computer does not sound cheap, and god forbid anything breaks. super smooth and efficient though
this isnt low altitide aviation. the air has nothing to do with what is going on here....he is simply just using the WATER as he would air and flying over top the water because of the water. aviation is the manipulation of air to produce lift and flight. this is the same with what hes doing only with water not air.
@MrRaptur3 The same thing that happens when a propeller driven boat hits a log except the bow strut takes the impact and the propeller is not damaged. You can still get home.
@immakinbacon Despite the video's statements Talaria IV has never been flown with a laptop computer. In this video it is flown by an analog computer designed for Talaria IV. In "Hydrofoil Dreamin" , a video taken 2 years later, it is flown with a digital computer, an SBC0489 programmed in C++, about 1500 lines of source code.

Harry unbelievable the number of hater's, "GREAT JOB". Your proving American ingenuity still lives! Envious people crawl out of the wood work when someone else has done the work and proven their dreams.
@rickcornes at the moment i dont have one. when i was 15 i had a 19' 1989 glastron carlson series special with a 270hp merc i/o. which i put a new floor in. rebuilt a carb. rewired the entire boat. and did a custom interior. i got that for free and sold for 7500. i must say i miss that boat. now my toy is a 2000 mustang gt. i would enjoy some boating tho. looking towards a fishing boat or hydrostream tho. o and i dont really need a boat when everyone else in my family has one.
Well this is the Slutboat. When that boat is off the water, he's busy nailing 3 women he picked up off the beach or if he is at the helm, they are all giving him bj's. Musical choice is only appropriate here.
if it has a 350 ci. engine in it i would be impressed with 39 mph with that size of boat with hydrofoils. if its say a 454 merc bravo then maybe not so much. what size is the engine?
a very creative use of a very old idea. any negative comments are unfounded
both in science and in common sense. i have six cars in my yard, wonder whith one will float the best, after all once they are up off the water shape doesnt matter.
Yes, the aft trailer rollers are raised about 1' so that the aft foil/outdrive has enough road clearance. When hauling out the raised aft rollers center the boat better on the trailer.
You are having so much fun with this thing that I am changing color :>! H-foils and Hovers are what I've wanted to do for years! Thanks for sharing - V|S
the boat is really cool and all for lakes and stuff
but what if you take it to open sea with medium waves...? i mean since the drive shaft and propeller are so low... you can't "fly" gotta drive slow... so i guess you're fucked unless you can also turn of this hoovering stuff somehow and drive it normally
For long waves the boat flys up and over as would a planing boat . For short waves it flys through up to about 4' waves. If you have short chop of more than 4' on can moter on the hull, however it is more stable because of the foils underwater.
If it is a swell, that is, long wave length, it follows the wave surface, up and over, any size. If it is short wave length, it goes through it, with a splash.
Bayliner is the #1 selling boat in the world because they are cheap boats, has nothing to do with quality. BTW, Baja is owned by Reggie Fountain, Brunswick sold the line last year.
Only 200 HP ? Is it the prop, gearing, Luck ? I'm simple,but that's a lot of mass to lift ? Wow, is still the word. I didn't see the top ground/water speed. Looks fun.
Thats funny Because Bayliner is the #1 selling boat in the world! And they are owned by Brunswick the same company that ownes hmm Sea ray ,Mercury motors, Baja, Maxum, Boston whaler sowhen you make a comment atleast have some back up todays bayliner same construction as a Sea Ray.
Thats funny , because sea ray is garbage too. Dont really care who owns the company that manufactures the boats. Bayliner and Boston whaler are built nothing alike. Thats like saying a Scion is the samething as a lexus.
so only the prop is in the water and the front foil - is there a foil at the stern also? amazing to generate enough lift to get that bayliner airborne!
great for rivers and shallow inlets (you just can't stop). looks great fun and like you did a v good job but does it need more power to plane (probably another term for it) and also what is the thing that looks like a rod sticking out of the front foil for (does it adjust foil angle)?
This shows admirable skills and good engineering for the simple fun. Who cares if it saves gas! It is unique and different, and that alone seems worth the effort. ( ground effect next?) . Have you considered air injection in the foil to control lift through cavitation? I think the Boeing Hydrofoils I saw in Hong Kong in the 80s used this concept. May be not needed on a small boat, but what a smooth ride it would be! A little accelerometer, spectral analysis of the waves, and adaptive feedback..
Speed: Talaria is about 25% faster on its foils than it was before the conversion using the same engine/fuel. Of coarse, such a speed increase could be realized far more easily by adding HP. Ride: The primary merit of a submerged foil hydrofoil is its smooth ride in waves. Unlike a planing boat you don't have to slow down in waves up to 3'. Thus the utility of the boat in getting to a destinationor just joy riding, particularly in bad weather/waves, is far greater.
It must be an illusion. The bow foil has no anhedral.

This shows admirable skills and good engineering for the simple fun. Who cares if it saves gas! It is unique and different, and that alone seems worth the effort. ( ground effect next?) . Have you considered air injection in the foil to control lift through cavitation? I think the Boeing Hydrofoils I saw in Hong Kong in the 80s used this concept. May be not needed on a small boat, but what a smooth ride it would be! A little accelerometer, spectral analysis of the waves, and adaptive feedback..

All that work.. Did it gain any performance?

Speed: Talaria is about 25% faster on its foils than it was before the conversion using the same engine/fuel. Of coarse, such a speed increase could be realized far more easily by adding HP. Ride: The primary merit of a submerged foil hydrofoil is its smooth ride in waves. Unlike a planing boat you don't have to slow down in waves up to 3'. Thus the utility of the boat in getting to a destinationor just joy riding, particularly in bad weather/waves, is far greater.

Shaday's "Smooth Operator" would have been a more appropriate music bed. Beautiful boat and video!!

Bayliner.Possibly the worst boat ever made.

Pretty sure it said Bayliner right in the title. How did you get this far?
