The last one using the 3D printed thing is the same thing as some sea slugs use to move around! I might be wrong, but it's also the same concept used by cuttlefish, some squids, sting rays and many more "membrane-ish" animals. Note that the other side must be alternating to completely match these animals (the efficiency goes to the roof and mother nature already figured it out)

Honestly, probably would've been free. There was already an offset rotation bit in the design, just pick different attachment points to create a phase offset... although, maybe then the attachment points might collide with one another?

For the turbine, a keel is usually what protects boats from tipping. Sailboats run into that all the time. It might not be enough to resist the torque this thing is generating, but it would have been worth a try.

I went to the patretta center last January and went down their bullet slide. I had just bought new swimming trunks which were VERY slick. When I made it to the bottom of the slide the life guard told me that it was the fastest he had seen anyone go. he said my time was 7.43 seconds which was the second fastest time on record. My cousin Lucas told me that he didn't believe me though which was really frustrating because I know he was just jealous.

That land boat segue is the reason why I love engineering so much lol. You get to make wacky looking ideas that work with a bit of tinkering.
Landboat amazing, you have made a creature
There are so many little things in this video that make it so good. The testing phases, the comparisons between older models to show why changes were made .and the land boat
3:46 ahhhhh, jumpscare! They talk!
Thats the second video in a row with a brilliant sponsor
The comparison in waves was a great addition
some of the ways you were building them I was saying " No way.." then " oh it worked"..over and over...so cool
Best Lego channel on youtube
the undulating fins were dope af! i bet they'd be much more efficient if the movement was opposed, like swallowing...that's way there'd be no side-to-side movement induced, and the coordinated pulse of water would act like a jet.
Not gonna Lie, I like the Jet Propulsion method. Putting less mechanical parts in the water. And since I'd like to build an RC boat for an actual lake, I might try that and placing serveral of those in sequance.
Concept successful! "sound of crashing"
Every time you upload my 3 year old get stoked and we watch it about twice a day for a week. So good!
2:39 seeing those bohrok’s (I had to google their name) “hands” is so nostalgic
Now combine all of the best ideas to make it super fast
I would buy much more Legos if they weren't so expensive. Thank you for these awesome projects, its like watching daydreams come true.
@satibel

They aren't *that* expensive, it's just a lot of pieces, which makes sets expensive. Like it's a few cents per piece, but when you have 300-5000 pieces it racks up quick. Probably the cheapest solution is to get lego from thrift stores or garage sales, there you can get a lot of bulk, and then order specific parts you need.

This is such a clear and beautiful showcase of water wading in lego, probably the best video of this type i've seen!
*_It turned out very cool! Great video!_*
Seeing the Gahlok fins made me so happy. Damn you, Bionicle-brain.
Why is this guy so much cooler than all of us?
I'm amazed the jet propulsion worked as good as it did!
the way you articulate your thoughts is so powerful!
I think that if the "jet ski" one had a constant flow it would maybe work better? And I really like the last one because it reminds me of an eel or a snake. You're engineering solutions are always so cool!
It's a good idea to add waves👍
This is awesome! Now I'd love to see you try and make a working hydrofoil out of Legos!
the paddle wheel boat is my favourite. it's such a stylish design. plus it leaves room in the back for some way to steer, without adding tank controls to your paddle wheels
I genuinely think you are the first one to do that. Great job on everything!
would really love to see a multi-cylinder version of that jet propulsion engine with something that can crank out more revs per minute.

one thing i love about videos like this is that they show us that there really are hundreds of ways to accomplish a task, there is no 1 magic right way that you have to figure out.
The last shots with the waves are awesome! You have really high production quality!
I find your "ran out of ideas" one of the most interesting. Not because it is fast, but because it is slow
I love the „legs“ concept 😻
In the wavepool test, most boats can make forward movement if given time, as the waves will bounce off the back of the tub, countering the waves from the front.

@doggosuki

the net force on the boats from the wave machine will push them backwards because the further the waves travel, the more energy is converted to other stuff like the sound of the water moving, by the time it bounces back the bounced waves will have less energy than the oncoming waves or something idk i failed physics too xD

Paddle boat unfazed by waves or lack of water, while having one of the best speed ❤ I want a life-sized version to roam the world. More seriously, I'm interested in a future video about engineering the most versatile vehicle.

Logo boats moving through the waves in slow motion is something extremely epic
The wave simulation in the end 🤩
The little paddle arms were pretty dang cute.
1:29 There’s one other way. You could use contra-rotating propellers to resolve this issue. While LEGO does not actively produce mirrored versions of the blade piece you are using (89509) at this time, you could offset the opposite rotor’s blades using modified technic pins with holes to build a mirrored propeller that is suitable for this purpose.
Would love to see a video of how stabilise boats in the midst of strong waves, kinda like wheel suspension, but in the water!
I love the paddles mechanism. Gotta be my favorite even if its probably inefficient
I'm completely fine with you using 3D prints in your Lego videos as long as its mostly Legos 😁👍

Undulating fins was ingenious and surprisingly effective.

Cool paddle design for the paddle wheels in this vid
The articulated legs boat was awesome to see. Reminded me of the sea monkeys we had as kids. I’d be curious to see if more legs or tighter spacing would improve efficiency.
The sail is still amazing.
Love how you used the Gahlok shield pieces as paddles. I bet the Nuhvok-Kal pieces would be the best out of all of them though...
