Dan, you gotta make a hydrofoil boat to avoid oscillations from the water.. Maybe a catamaran with servo controlled pontoon struts that counter-act the oscillations.. Something overly complex..

Part of the nose diving issue is from how much drag the front of the boat is making. He should really model his airboat hull after an actual airboat. Flat bottom with a gradual slope on the front.

Ohhh, you missed an opportunity to streamline the hull design. Yeah you mentioned why, but you'd remove a lot of the stability issues by using a tried and trusted basic hull design. Especially for the purpose as a camera platform. Double the length of the hull so it can better handle the weight of your equipment. When you get a design you like, a layer of fibreglass over the foam for impact resistance. Anyhoo, still cool 😎

@@BikingVikingHH I know right, you could use virtually any basic monohull or catamaran design and it would be better then what he's coming up with. Heck just buy a RC sailboat and turn it into an autonomous boat. The scale is also way too small for anything--but glassy smooth water. And I don't know why he uses props? Maybe for fear of getting caught up in the weeds if he used standard propulsion

@@Endelin which is a good solution. With a streamlined hull, it may take a lot less thrust to propel. Tracking should be increased as well. Oh well, boats are not his thing... Yet! 😁

2:17... It seems to me the way to solve the Full Power nose dive would be to tilt the propeller motors up at a slight angle. This would push the rear of the boat down at full power. Also... put a proper bow on the boat. It looks like you're pushing a brick through the water. You would no doubt gain power efficiency gliding more easily through the water.

A way you could increase some efficiency is by sloping the bow forward like on commercial flat-bottom boats. As the boat drives forward, the slope lifts the bow of the boat out of the water helping it drive faster.

There's something so incredibly chill about that timelapse, especially with the music.

13:03 reminds me of a scene from The Empire Strikes Back when they are looking through their "binoculars" at the AT-AT Walkers in the far distance on the snow planet. Just me then? :)

I was just wishing last night that a new boat vid would get made! You've inspired me to start mixing drone/rc technology with my channel's main content; bushcraft & backwoods adventuring. Thanks for helping push me in a unique direction!

Only Beaver have the ability to slap their tails. A muskrats tail in shaped like the keel of a boat and is more for guidance. Thank for sharing this video with us. Cheers, Billy in Canada

Dam, your creativity is insane i would have never thought of making that boat into a hyperlapse machine

“It makes them unsinkable” History has shown that that’s not a good thing to say about your boat.

Yess! Boat updates!

the third person shot with the long exposure was wicked. and it makes the lil boaty look cute

You're sacrifices are greatly appreciated to make this all possible. BTW I'm an Olight fan as well.

Why not put the insta360 on the gimbal? That way no matter where the boat turns you can just reframe it afterwards

Beautiful shots. I love the scenery of the city lights and reflections

I think the best platform you could look at if you want to keep exploring this would be a SWATH. (google SWATH hull). Wouldn't be disturbed by the waves so much and would be substantially more efficient so you could get away with a larger boat with same powering. A larger boat would automatically reduce the relative wave size, reduce the pitch problem and reduce the relative mass of the camera and its effect on trim. What about some horizontal servo actuated vanes to dial the thrust vector with a gyro like the electric rocket. That part should be simple for you.

I have REALLY ENJOYED your Autonomous Boat videos.

Those timelapse shots are freaking amazing.

Finding this content fascinating. Thanks for sharing your experimentation!!

I've been following your series and all of your hard work has paid off. Fantastic time-lapse video clips! Best wishes for the Holidays.

Those shots were amazing!

To help with the nose-diving you could put the props on the front and make them pull the boat.

Great stuff. Using existing technologies combined in new ways for great effect. The boat is like Zoolander, only turning left

Probably the coolest channel/mini series on YT right now.

You chose a really good spot to film, I love boating through that passage to get into Lake Union and beyond!

Wow just came across your channel again, I loved your channel 7-8 years ago. Got out of the hobby and forgot. Nice to see you’re still making content!

I'd love to see what kind of prop guards you could come up with, and a functional single or double hull that didn't have the pointy problems that the other one had would be super cool! I'll bet it would be less susceptible to course changes too, so it might handle straight lines better

Catamarans are relatively easy to build, and will increase efficiency significantly. Buy a small boogie board and shove some legs on it (you can through-hole mount them). This will give you a wide platform for stability.

That was a river otter I believe. Very cool video, loved the insta 360 moving timelapse!

0:40 and thats what we call rolling shutter

i love that this one looks like a barge!

i have an old RC tugboat, that could be fun for stuff like this autonomous, it can carry weights as it was designed with lead acid bat teries in mind, and currently its weighted with rocks and metal scrap to keep at good level

That’s so awesome, try making a longer catamaran platform or a pointy nose
