[@JanbluTheDerg]

"Any sufficiently expensive technology is indistinguishable from magic" What a way to turn that quote around holy heck

[@nick_her134]

You need to have a video of using all of these inventions in like a showcase. See how far you guys have come though out the years.

[@senorwhiss7246]

so true

[@alexandruulesan7009]

They need an actual Stark Expo

[@TommyTooter132]

say less

[@Mrboi913]

Throughout

[@ItzEx0dia]

pretty sure that had one couple years back b4 they moved out of the garage, obviously need a new one tho

[@nicarney]

The Real magic in this video is Darryl pulling off that quidditch robe so well.

[@nilok7]

I think at this point you have the core hardware, you now might want to look into some kind of throttle controller that maintains the hydrofoil at a certain speed so you dont have to pulse the motor to keep it at the right height.

[@loudboomboom]

This! Would be rad to see a fallow up with this implemented

[@Brisingr750]

I think a motherboard to automatically accelerate every second or so would be better. I don't think it's the speed that kept him upright, but rather the periodic accelerations (and now I'm repeating myself). It's like a rally car upshifting midair to keep the nose up during a jump

[@gork42]

Came here to suggest putting Ardupilot on it. The control loop would be a cinch.

[@jurjenbos228]

That's where PID controllers are made for

[@julianochs8221]

Throttle control is what makes foiling possible. You start at a slower motor speed and get the feeling for the angle you have to set the board/broom according to the speed of the motor. With just full throttle this will not work straight away. Nevertheless, it looks really nice and fun 🎉 Good work!

[@Its_Just_me_too]

I could almost see this as becoming a new sport. Highly entertaining.

[@dragonwolf3072]

WATER QUIDDITCH (I probably misspelled that but still)

[@JaredWyns]

Seriously yes. Imagine having a flight controller on it that controls the stabilization vs having to jiggle the switch, with more freedom this could be super fun

[@speedymatt1236]

We’d all love you to play real life quidditch!

[@kylobensolo5655]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

[@vaas8403]

people will die ahah its blade are sharp and i dont even talking about the spining blade@@dragonwolf3072

[@averyhopper7181]

I could definitely see that efoil broom getting refined and turned into quidditch in real life

[@leobuana7430]

It would make those larp Quidditch cooler

[@feha92]

Sounds dangerous a.f In other words: Quidditch in real life

[@funforall9741]

I wish but e- foils are ridiculously dangerous for multiple people driving around each other

[@epicrodtezla3228]

Yah 😅😅 let them turn this into a real product someone can buy some of us are already hooked

[@StormyDoesVR]

Can't wait to see you guys all get lots of practice on this thing and 6 months from now be riding those like they're nothing!

[@samthestache8]

Seeing how he kept having to pulse the throttle to keep at the right height, I think the next step would be to fine-tune the speed control to find the sweet spot and have that be the default speed.

[@HarryPortfelGaming]

I'm not even surprised at this point, just in awe. You guys are insane. This is madness.

[@Kabloom0828]

FINALLY. A HARRY POTTER VIDEO

[@Salt_Master_Queue]

Madness? No. THIS! IS!! SPARTA!!!!

[@xshadow-0]

In awe of what? Strapping a broom to an e-foil? Boring.

[@florians9949]

Madness and genius often comes along.

[@NippyNep]

whats madness? this isnt ground breaking tech

[@Dakiraun]

Oooo nice run at the end! Having to modulate the throttle to maintain level travel did give me an idea though; what if you incorporated a sensor that can increase/decrese throttle based on pitch. Once engaged, that might be able to automate throttle modulation and keep it above the water.

[@darikis3437]

I've gotten a taste and I want more. I just wanna see this concept get pushed as far a possible! Get to the point where it doesn't dip unless the rider wants it. Get to the point where you can maintain a steady speed, accelerate/decelerate, and turn easily. Get off without having to crash. Can you make it taller and is there a way to move up and down?

[@inspector_beyond]

First lightsabers, now flying brooms. Hacksmith is doing a revolution to technology. And yes, while this broom is on the same level of technicality as first lightsaber prototypes that Hacksmith did, there's still a room to improve.

[@phoenixlewis]

And the coolest part is how these aren't scientists exposed to radiation or bitten by a spider but just a couple of very smart people

[@DecimusCaesar]

@@phoenixlewis I aspire to be like them, these people are actual geniuses

[@feha92]

First thing they should do imo, is some kind of controller that modulates the power for the user, ensuring a reasonable angle of attack instead of an unstable wobbly mess doomed to fail. Or, I guess, simply adding ailerons to the fins would work too. Depends on whether they want to solve their issues through hardware or software. Hardware (ailerons) would definitely be the simplest, but also needs doing hardware instead of software - which I guess is right up the hacksmith's alley,

[@inspector_beyond]

@@feha92 Honestly, I'm not a tech guy, I have no idea about mechanical stuff. All i can say is that they need to improve the controller. On the last attempt you could see that to make it go stable, the controller needed to be switched back and forth. They need to make a controller that would need to be turned on once and would give enough power to make it stable.

[@feha92]

@@inspector_beyond Yeah that is what I were talking about. Either solve it in software (+ sensors) to make it so you can pick a speed/height (I assume those correlates) with the lever-input, or solve it in hardware by giving it ailerons (+sensors) that control the pitch (to get a consistent height, no matter speed - well, assuming it's fast enough to not just sink, of course).

[@jamesm2078]

As someone who’s been a massive Harry Potter fan since childhood, not only do these guys know their Harry Potter, seeing riding a broom become real blows my mind.

I don't know man 😅 It's crazy that people don't know that there are people in this world good at focus on their own intrest and not in others personal life.... Like you assumed for me that I know jk Rowling and whos that person is... It's just because I started reading books when I read her name as author then I got to know that jk Rowling wrote this amazing world that's it ... Just the name is enough.... I don't care and want to know who she is and if she used drugs while writing these stories... Lol...Fact that I am enjoying these stories are enough for me ...And I am thankful to her and I will read these stories to my future kid👍

[@gv100_blitz]

Just needed an analog throttle, poor Darryl! Pleassse make a part 2!

[@darrylhacksmith]

Analog throttle please. 🙏💀

[@gv100_blitz]

Watching the jerking hurts the soul 😢

[@TheNone724]

or throttle with speed you want to go but gyroscope gives throttle to keep this thing level

[@Meowsors]

This was so sick! Well done, team! You've probs thought of it, but adding sensors and a controller to maintain the ideal 'lift' would be sick; Assisted riding - then you can safely smash some Quidditch! Love your content! Rad stuff, well produced.

[@eliomernk7058]

This would actually be really neat - you could actually do things while flying on a broom 😃

[@MattWeber]

I was highly suprised this wasnt done. A simply gyro sensor setup that adjusts throttle to maintain the broom being level fore/aft, with a cutoff switch with a wrist band key to prevent it running away like waverunners use.

[@Thedarkestshadow1]

I've always loved science lol. Keep up the good work 💪💪💪

[@theHacksmith]

Thank you! This keeps us creating!

[@Sceptile29]

This is great. The only suggestion I could have is to put the electronics inside of the broom tail and the controller built into the broom for a sleeker no backpack look

[@matthewjackson9274]

Would love to see a version 2 that’s easier to control and get some distance going. Where you can pass by some boats and get some reactions. Kind of like the Star Wars series you’ve done in the past; I would love to see more Harry Potter stuff

[@BoltGoesPro]

Would you like to know how?

[@MorningPetrichor]

One man sailing boat foiling has a device at the bow, that has a float or ski with linkages to a hinged foil. The float would be set at the required altitude of the vessel while the foil is set at neutral flying the vessel. If the boat is too low, the float lifts, pulls the linkages, increases the angle of attack, boat rises. Opposite for too high. It is an automatic attitude finder. You could set the power and the device would do the adjustments to fly.

[@the_rbop]

A wise man once said :"Any sufficiently expensive technology is indistinguishable from magic"

[@noahstout2665]

Awesome! I love Harry Potter and creations and you combined those both! If your not already working on it I think a functional wand would be a great addition to the broom, anyways thanks for all that you are doing in the community and I can’t wait to see what crazy thing you build next!

[@Cass256]

Fantastic job as always y'all! The one problem I see is the motor controller - It's no wonder it was so hard to ride properly with only an on-off switch for speed control... If the motor can support variable speed, something like a paramotor throttle (hand grip with a lever) would make fine control *much* easier, and most likely make takeoff & riding much easier. I'd love to see this revisited with a whole water-based Quidditch match!

Next HP project: some way to play 2D quidditch. Meaining: - No flying, so bicicles or scooters should act as brooms. - Quaffle and goal marks work the same. - Snitch needs to have the magic worked out by tech. Maybe some small drone that can be hand-catched? - Bludgers need to have the magic worked out by tech. Maybe also some drones that can be bludged around and would chase players? 3D would required actually flying, which seems a bit off the table for now... :(
