 Couple days ago I broke this here propeller. It's supposed to have one of these things here Yeah So yesterday I was working on making a replacement and I do have a piece of metal That can match one of these fins I could go here. However, I'd already been thinking about replacing my Stainless steel propeller with a fiberglass one because the stainless steel rusts a little bit not a lot But just like some surface rust And the surface rust you know makes the surfaces all rough and it doesn't work as well So I have to take the propeller off and polish it if I want to go fast It's a pain in the butt so I pulled out my fiberglass stuff and I only have a little bit of old resin left right now and it's too thick to use I Mean I could use it for something else, but not it won't soak into the fiberglass so I Do have a propeller My backup propeller on the shark slicer, which is so this guy I stole it off the shark slicer and I wouldn't do that except The motor this was attached to leaks oil or the the gear case whatever so I never use it because you know when I Use it it leaks a little bit oil and I don't want to do that So I'm just giving up on that and I'm taking this I'm gonna put it on The zombie chopper now. It's a luminum aluminum, which means I may have to take it off between uses, but yeah It's not the worst thing in the world I guess I could just do that with the stainless steel one too. I did want a little bit bigger fins Yeah, this is about the exact size. I was looking to make anyway. All right I'm gonna get this to fit This back here is the same diameter as the propeller shaft Just hand filed this Get it to fit because it was pretty close This other end I think I'm gonna make a plastic insert on the lathe Good thing. I keep my hole saw leave-ins. I just went to start the electricity And my inverter does not turn on Worked yesterday. It is several years old Hopefully there's something in here I can fix Chances are it's done though Hate these things Stole the inverter off my boat Feels like everything's going wrong right now Yeah, I gotta turn this around. It's in there nice and snug All right, I'll leave that guy there to fill up the batteries I need to go to town again There is a downside to that propeller I put on there It's gonna have a lot more drag when it's not going than the old one and now I'm thinking about that stinking inverter. Oh inverters Electronic stuff is such amazing technology But we're we're doing it all wrong. We're making it not robust Everything is made to last a little while and then breaks so frustrating because we totally have the technology available to make things last So yeah, I know I've been saying this for a while, but I need to Start making my own inverters And just just make them Super strong, you know overbuilt as they say which is should just be normal everything should just normally be what we now call overbuilt Well, I haven't tested the propeller. I hope it works Because tomorrow I'm going to town again So that's like a 35 to 40 mile trip You should be fine Anyway, I'm gonna go to town pick up some resin have some fiberglass And then I can make a fiberglass propeller because you know the aluminum aluminum one is already Coroding a little Made it back in the right number of pieces So the aluminum aluminum propeller is not as fast as the stainless steel one I made before I think it just needs a higher pitch, you know, basically like Putting it into higher gear because it's too it's too low gear So I'm not gonna mold that to make a fiberglass Propeller yeah, I'm gonna make fiberglass propellers for both the pedal one and the motor one Because then I don't have to worry about rust and the stainless steel doesn't rust a lot But it rusts enough to to make it rough and the you know the same with the aluminum So I'm gonna make fiberglass propellers And I'm thinking I'm gonna get kind of fancy with them and like make them actually mathematically correct I'm not gonna do that right now right now. I'm just gonna go chill out and eat some pizza
