Awesome engineering with data-driven kind of mind.

@h20flyers If you are still monitoring this, I would love to talk sometime. I am working on a similar project.

Very interesting, and with good data to have an idea of the energy efficiency 👍

Всё класс и супер! Одно НО, надувные баллоны! Это супер не безопасно.

Bravo! The future is heavy, but good to see is still in our hands ;) well done 👍🏻👍🏻

Ever thought about selling this project?

Wow! This looks amazing, as soon as I saw a hydro foil petal boat I have to have one! You should put on a power meter crankset and see how much power it takes, would be interesting, I have my doubts that an unfit person has the power needed to raise out of the water

prix

An average cyclist will maintain an output of 100-200 watts for an hour or two. It says the minimum pedal power to maintain the hydrofoil is 200 watts, so this is on the high end of the range of what an average cyclist can steadily output with their legs. Unfortunately it's also incredibly expensive and delicate looking, so there isn't any easy cheap way to make it easier to pedal. As of now, I don't see any easy way to ahcieve a consumer level hydroplane that can be pedaled on the surface of the water for long periods of time, the way that a person rides a bike for long periods of time.

Many thanks for data 2:41! Hello from Ukraine!

Hey, were a few engineers at university trying to create something similar. Do you have design info?

No response from the email in the video H2oflyer. Is there a new one by chance?

Great job

👍🏆👍

Pretty cool. I hope you've been able to keep improving it.

All of the complications.... Friction... How to get it out of the Ground Affect once it's out of the water... Jump Struts, and... Jesus, how are we going to land this thing ?

Gives proof to the old saying "Ships Aren't Driven They're Piloted" Now where are the Jump Struts to get it out of the Ground Effect once it's out of the water, the fold up/tetractible wings, Super Capacitors, ultra light Solar Cell's and the combination Alternator/Generator, and and and... The more wheels an Aircraft has, all the better... And the Glow in the Dark Smoke Trailers ? ALRIGHT, AMOTHER AIR SHOW... Just another US Air Force brat trying to get another aircraft back into the sky... You guy's understand don't you ?

h2oFlyer you still there???

Looks like a ton of fun. And pretty darn fast for human-powered on water. Any more progress on this? Would also love to see a better video.

If you sell this, is pilot included? xD

How is this different than the Orignal MIT version? Add a small electric motor assist so that human power needed is cut in half and there would be a big market, especially if it could fold up easily.

Is there a way to get in touch with you?

Pretty slick concept.

Cool concept, bot 0 in filming. Can't see nothing

Hi there, interested in redesigning our solar powered boat to have a hydrofoil. Would love to chat with you about prop selection/rpm first and foremost, then the hydrofoil itself. Additionally, where are you located?

Way too cumbersome.

Beautiful

do you have like a contact information?... I would be your first client for sure... what materials do you guys used to build it?

Hey, this looks great. Have you got any more information on how you designed it all?

Hello!can you send me a photo of your pedal system?ilike very much it for a fishing pontoon.thanks

how hard would you say you are pedaling? It looks easy.
