building an outrigger to convert a 17-foot Delta olympic canoe sprint boat to an ultra-fast OC-1. I am thinking the rounded outrigger should be no wider than 12 inches and about 7-8 feet to support the ultra lite boat and my 170 lb frame. Is this correct?

I make my Gold Dredge floats out of this. I’m actually working on a set of floats this weekend 2 feet wide 8 foot long And 16 inches tall. I’m not gonna encapsulate it. I am gluing a piece of HDPE on the bottom and quarter inch plywood on the top and paint it all black. On the high side of numbers each float will have the buoyancy of 1173 pounds. I use a certain type of gorilla glue.

This will be my second set a floats. My first set of floats I put together close to 12 years ago. They still work good. The nice thing about this new extruded foam. It doesn’t absorb water like the older foam Did slightly.

I am wanting to build a rock wall for the back of my aquarium using EPS foam. The foam will measure approximately 72" L x 24" T x (variable) 1.5" - 2.5" W. I'm thinking of using a silicone sealant to adhere it to the back of the aquarium but I'm also wondering how much weight it would require to sink the the bottom of the tank. Can you please help me with the math on this?

Great video, love to see your passion! I just have a VERY small project I'm working on, custom floats for drones (mine currently is at the bottom of lake as I didn't have floats and it dropped out of the air like a brick, ha). Is styrofoam the best foam for flotation? I'm looking for the lightest foam product I can get to use as the drone is only 250g and the lighter the better.

50 to 100$ whats the difference 50$ and 100$ product you add up some gold in? and its same size 1 cubic yard. its basic little more then 1 meter to 1 meter 3 cubic yard so about 9 to 10 feet by 3 feet if its 50$ its okay but 100$ no saving at all

@cubaniton745 жыл бұрын
One Cubic foot has 1,728 cubic inches, so if you take the 55 lbs max flotation provided by the foam and divide it by the 1,728, you get 0.03 pounds of flotation per cubic inch of foam, only 3% of a pound.

I often thought it would be a good idea to mount Mobile Homes on blocks of EPS Foam in flood-prone area's. Fresh water and sewer connect could be coiled flexible tubing. The epoxy coating would protect the eps foam from degradation. Corner poles could be utilized to allow flotation, but keep the trailer in place. Might be able to make Million$ from this idea?

Water weighs 62.6 pounds per cubic foot.. so, If the mean buoyancy number for foam is 51.5 lbs. that's 84% displacement weight. I needed that, Thank You.. I'm building an Air-boat with my 17hp lawn mower motor

All joking aside. I need to make a 1" diameter EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Rod. It's got a Density of 0.03g/cm3, and I need it to make a floating thing for a project I'm working on. Currently, it's the least dense material for floating on water I can find. I heard and read about Balsa wood, but balsa wood absorbs water. How would I go about making an expanded polystyrene rod? I'm learning about the process. The steam makes the balls grow, and it becomes expanded polystyrene with a density of about 0.03g/cm3. That means that it sits on the water, and only about 3% of it sinks into the water. That's very good, because I need a reliable material like that, if not better.
