​@@Vaasmios So how are you going to be further away from the front of the boat under the water, directly under the reciever, than if you were at the other side of the boat from the reciever, actually on the boat...? Do you really not see the issue here, you fall off the front or side, you go under, you get something stuck on the props like an arm or even worse, loose clothing meaning you're now stuck by your clothes under water struggling to escape from them. It's a good idea in theory yeah. But I feel like you're not getting the whole idea across the way you wanted to. Maybe you meant like, a watch with a moisture sensor or something? Because distance alone isn't going to work for a boat. Unless you're specific within around 30CM.

Peter, I'm a huge boat guy, I have a Captain's license and an Engineering license, and I've been watching your videos for years. I always found it fascinating how you could use open source drone software and build homemade drones that held position using GPS. I think it would be super cool to apply that concept to boats. Large oil rigs use dynamic positioning to stay in place and most modern boats are offered with some sort of position hold feature like SkyHook, but it would be cool to figure out a DIY solution using the thrusters and engine/steering controls. You could also do manual joystick control for low speed maneuvering. I'm not smart enough to figure it out myself but I think it'd be a really neat video idea!

Very cool little boat! It's easy to get "too much boat" and then be bogged down with endless maintenance and repairs. Something this size is a great starter model, plus with a trailer you don't have to pay slip fees or worry about it sitting unattended at a dock. If you like physical printed reference material, Chapman's Piloting is a great boating skills book.

Might be a good idea to encase the transmitter in a waterproof casing, or re-encase its electronics in a well designed bouyancy casing, with a strop around your neck, or clipped to your waist. That way, when running single-handed (solo), should you fall overboard - you can still control the vessel from the water and bring it back to retrieve you, providing you act quick enough within the range of the TX. You might also factor in some kind of processor that will detect when a TX signal is absent, or commands have not been received for a minimum period and shut down the engine. Even - given further period of absence of command; issue an automated distress message/EPIRB. . You should also consider always wearing at least a waist secured inflatable bouyancy aid/life jacket when pottering around on deck and always when single-handed. You would be surprised how easy it is to end up in the drink... Especially if you hit a semi-submerged treetrunk, which would stop your boat dead in the water, but the inertia at 5kts would certainly catapult you over the bow, or off the gunwales. Thus your RC Tx should be affixed to your person. . Depending upon where one lives, a Skipper's License is not usually required to own and operate a boat up to a certain size/tonnage. But undertaking an internationally recognised course on coastal and even offshore navigation is a must if intending to undertake long-range coastal and offshore voyages. Likewise with radio communications. All vessels over 25 feet operating in coastal waters and using port facilities should carry maritime VHF sets with appropriate licensing. Worth doing and may even be necessary by some local PA operators.

Herringbone gears should run quieter than the straight teeth on your electric drive, and normally run cooler in Naval turbines. (Not sure if that will translate to plastic gears.)

Navigation is a must. Daily you can use pad, plotter or phone, but you need to learn navigate paper charts, compass, plot a course and locate by bering. Safety on a boat is crucial. Look at weather before you leave, learn how to pick up bad weather, backup communication like VHF or old mobile phone, tell a friend of your plans. Safety equipment, extra anchor, extra mooring lines, backup propulsion (electric somewhat already done) paddle or a small sail, life jackets, harness if you are outside and completely alone on the boat and far from land. Learn knots for mooring, extend a line, a way that you can climb up on your boat if you ever fall in, make sure you reach it from the water. How about another belt and pulleys instead of these noisy plastic wheels? Happy boating.

You can build a gyroscope to this boat to keep it balanced while the anchor is dropped. There are nice and interesting approaches on that topic. Have fun exploring ❤ greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Just throwing it out there: An AGNI/Lynch motor would be a perfect power plant for this boat if you ever go full electric. The Lynch motor is an unconventional design with a disc armature. It marries the advantages of a conventional, wound armature motor with the benefits of a flat (printed circuit) motor. It is similar to a pancake motor, but is more powerful than any of these technologies. The disc armature has magnets on both sides, doubling the available flux density and shortening the magnetic path. It therefore packs more power per pound and per cubic inch than any other motor technology. Of course such a revolutionary motor is not for every application - it is not as cheap as wound field motors, but for many applications it is a far superior motor. It has a previously unheard of power to weight ratio and also power to volume ratio. It is also highly efficient because of the double magnet design and associated short magnetic path. It also includes integral fan cooling. The Lynch motor is an important development which spurred other motor designers to improve their products to remain competitive, such as synchronous permanent magnet machines. As a result of the competition between manufacturers the cost of high performance motors and controllers has fallen dramatically. We hope the cost of solar cells also reduces to allow renewable transportation to develop as a viable alternative to carbon fuels. Cedric Lynch built his electric bike around a mid-drive configuration, also building one of the worlds most efficient light weight electric motors to power his rig reliably at 60-MPH for significant distances. He would later set several world records with his axial flux motor and bring it to market as the Lynch / Agni motor. Briggs and Stratton would eventually buy this technology which would lead to the Etek motor, which is now famous for making high speed efficient electric hot rods. Cedric uses to achieve high speeds is by following the rules of aerodynamics, and building a bike that is as aerodynamic and as efficient as possible. The other builders on this list bypassed this step, and Cedric uses this bicycle as daily transportation on real commutes. Although this high-efficiency motor uses “old school” brushes, this fact allows builders to use very affordable controllers. He has proven his design choices through thousands of miles of commuting, and the Lynch motor is highly respected. Cedric Lynch is known as the creator of the Agni Motor, a highly efficient electric motor that weighs around 25 pounds and can put out as much as 50hp. Cedric Lynch is a British 'mad scientist' type mechanical engineer obsessed with the idea of greener transportation. His interest has been in building a super efficient yet powerful vehicle that can serve as a car replacement. He started thinking of his own design for an electric motor in 1983 when he began entering competitions organized by the Battery Vehicle Society regarding building an efficient electric vehicle. At the time there was no reasonably priced DC motor with descent efficiency so Lynch decided to build his own utilizing modifying existing motors with old tin cans that he would spread out flat to use as cooling fins. Surprisingly using rudimentary materials and a garage work bench, Cedric was making better more efficient electric motors than any of the universities were able to manufacture in state of the art workshops. Cedric then came up with a motor design that could be cheaply manufactured and began manufacturing his own motor that he could sell to the public in 1988 and the Lynch Electric Motor Company was born, known as LEMCO. Cedric first used his motor to create a small boat called “The Spark” that would set an electric boat efficiency record. From there Cedric turned his attention to bicycles, an application generally considered too small for a lynch motor at that time. Cedric mounted his motor in recumbent bike, allowing him space to eventually use a set of thundersky lithium batteries. The resulting aerodynamic recumbent bike had a top speed of 60mph and still managed an incredible range of 150 miles. Cedric rode his recumbent creation everywhere as a daily commuter, putting an amazing 50,000 miles on the machine - technically a motorbike. Briggs and Stratton, the US firm famous for lawn mower engines, bought the technology and used it in their E-Tech Motor, and Cedric went on to manufacture his latest incarnation of his lynch design into the Agni motor, which is used in go karts, sailboats, motor boats, and even small airplanes. The Lynch designed motors all have the same traits. Brushed motors, around 25 pounds in weight and they are able to put out enormous power compared to their weight. Sometimes as high as 50 hp (depending on amperage ran through the motor) at an incredible 98% efficiency. Lynch Motors are also the most often used motors in electric motorcycle racing applications. Cedric's zero-emission motorcycle, which has a top speed of 120mph, was shown in action winning the world’s first zero carbon race - the TTxGP in the Isle of Mann. The idea for the electric motor has been snapped up by the 56-year-old’’s friend Arvind Rabadia, who together with his brother Hasmuk Rabadia had been thinking of starting a business in India. They have now set up Agni Motors to make further-improved versions of Cedric’s motors Despite Cedric’s breakthrough invention he has no formal engineering qualifications and taught himself the techniques needed to construct his engine. He first became interested in electrics when his parents bought him a book entitled How to build things from things found at home. The Etek motor is a brushed 25-pound pancake shaped motor that puts out enormous power for its weight. Depending on amperage and voltage the Etek can easily provide between 15-horsepower and 30-horsepower reliably and consistently (11-kW / 22-kW). A perfect platform for a powerful electric bike if you do not mind the weight. Although brushless motors are considered more modern, a brushed motor like the Etek allows the builder to use very affordable controllers. Cedric-Lynch invented the motor and sold it to Briggs and Stratton which US company produced the Etek at a lower price (around $600). In the late 90’s early 2000’s it was the way to go for a high-power / light-weight electric vehicle. Many small E-vehicle records were set using the Etek motor. Finally, the market had a relatively lightweight and powerful electric motor available to the masses. In essence, the Etek allowed hot rodders to build electric bikes. Before the Etek very few people had ever achieved 50mph on an electric bike. Even today, Etek motors (and newer incarnations of the Etek motor) are used to make some super fast electric bikes. In the case of Liveforphysics, the fastest E-bikes ever. Liveforphysics used a newer version of the Etek (the Agni motor), to achieve speeds of over 70mph, and dominate a recent hill-climb event. Every Etek I have ever ridden has been characterized by brutal off-the-line acceleration, usually to a point where you have to apply the throttle very carefully or get thrown off. However, it is possible to run an Etek at a lower voltage or lower amperage and have a very manageable, safe, and sane electric bike that will not burn out on you, no matter high steep the incline.

Add a Starlink to it, and you could have something that is totally remotely controlled from the comfort of you own home!

You did an amazing job, what a cool little boat

established titles? come on man

Established titles is allegedly owned by the same shell as Deal Dash. It's a shady scam. Under Scottish law you can't bu/sell souvenir lots, nor does owning land get you a title. There is also absolutely no evidence a single tree has been planted. Get a new sponsor Peter, they're bad news.

So are most of subscription boxes, gambling sites pretending to be charities, crappy mobile games, fake "Japanese" knives (same parent comp. as Est. Titles lol ) and so on. Wallets and backup batteries that can be purchased from China 1/10 of the price. So how many good sponsors there are?

@@HVM_fi at least you get the product you purchase with most sponsors, this is a legit scam that is not giving you the actual thing you're buying

Neat project! You have great ideas, Peter. I can see you accomplishing just about anything you want to. Sail around the world? Fly into space? You could do it. For the motor gears getting hot, I bet you could design and fabricate an "oil-cooled gear box" out of aluminum or plastic (similar to the synthetic oil lubrication display with the small gears turning in the plexiglass box on the auto parts store counter). With your skill, it would be done in just one afternoon. Great work! Take care. Aloha!

add grease to the gears. Thats such a perfect boat, and the bow thruster is a sweet bonus

Some advice about 3D printing, switch over to PETG, it's better than PLA in almost every metric (notably in heat resistance and strength) and it's not that much harder to print with. Those gears will last a lot longer.

Established titles is a scam my friend. Under title 12 you can not sell or own souvineer plots of land. Further more owning land in Scotland does not grant you the the right to become a lord or lady. Last thing is they do not plant trees they only give a small portion of the profits to organizations that do plant trees. It's a total scam. Give your money directly to the charity that plants trees if you want to help forestation. I know you probably are unaware of the truth but hopefully you don't sponsor them again.

They pay like 15 grand for a single ad. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t take it

Respect for the sponsor $$ but look into them more, they’re a scam :/

Dood that little engine under the bow is cool! I’ve only seen those on large ships, but that’s got to be really useful while docking and loading.

you can DIY those pla gears as forms to cast aluminium gears by wax lost method in your garage.

established titles might actually be a scam

Mutahar did a deep dive in on them and they are indeed a scam ye.

FYI Established titles is a scam.

Literally, could not be happier for any KZreadr to be successful in this man. He truly deserves it.

24 years I’ve been USCG Licensed Captain. Gotta love what you do! Cheers

Is Established Titles a legitimate business? Unfortunately, it appears to be nothing more than a scam and it seems that some people have already fallen for it.
