[@notsofast2539]

Programming is pretty exciting stuff!! I started programming in the late 70's. Used a Friden Flex-o-writer to punch 8 track paper or mylar tape to run some old Acramatic 225 NC (not CNC) and Cincinnati Big Blue controls. Our first programming software was a product called NCApt, written by a guy named Dave Naylor in Seattle. Completely text based, NO graphics, just a Hewlett-Packard plotter. I've never used MasterCAM, but had a similar (sort of) product called SmartCam Freeform Machining. They disappeared for a while, but are back!

JT, right! That’s exactly what I think every time I watch one of these Titans videos. I’m a button pushing machinist for a hydraulics manufacturer and our shop, while not filthy as far as dirt and chips go, is just cluttered. We and our machines are packed in like sardines. Not to mention some of our finished rods are 10 feet long and on carts all over the aisles. We can’t maneuver. I can only imagine how much clearer my head would be if I worked in such a clean and organized shop!

[@briankinder400]

Previously, I worked in propeller and impeller manufacturing for the marine industry, and I also personally enjoy recreational boating. I don't understand why the Sharrow propeller needs to be fully machined, as typical stainless propellers and impellers are investment cast. The investment casting process is ideal for complex shapes and is also very accurate, which is why only the propeller hub usually requires machining. While the Sharrow propeller looks impressive, existing manufacturers have already proven that propellers don't need to be fully machined. I would be interested in trying the Sharrow design if it were not ten times more expensive than conventional stainless propellers made by Mercury or Solaris. Personally, I wonder if the Sharrow propeller could be made more inexpensively using cast aluminum or a composite material, while still being very durable.

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Well, you don't want to turn your product into a commodity... they are getting big bucks from high-value customers, why mass produce a lower quality unit... thats kinda like the "we'll make profit on the volume" bad business model... 🤔

[@vanguard6937]

It looks like they're cast first, and machines down to size all the way around

[@jttech44]

High precision castings are much more expensive though, and much slower to produce, harder to scale up. If the product is as good as they claim, everyone will want one, but, they need to scale the manufacturing up to Mercury/Solaris/et al levels to produce them cheaply, which takes capital. What you're seeing right now is the early adopter tax. In 5 years, they'll be cheaper and everyone will have them.

[@dakotareid1566]

Those props will increase in demand as they are more efficient.

[@sdvten]

I don't expect it to last that long. The numbers they got and their advertisers get are by cherry picking props to get the numbers they want. By testing various different props on different boat motor combos I have found the difference between conventional aluminum or stainless propellers can be huge. With one of these sharrow props costing 5-10+ times more than a conventional stainless prop it will continue to be a hard sell. Especially after someone wipes out their new $5k prop on a sand bar. They offer a repair service but good luck keeping up with that. People aren't going to wait a long time to have a small prop repaired. Plus there are SO many different size props its going to be hard to keep up with them all. And the boat industry has major peaks and valleys.

[@userjarabecko]

@@sdvten exactly. boats are for rich people. since rich are becoming richer and only 1% of population other 99 are just poor working pleb. unless these guys got contracts from all the ship companies all over the world. but those cncs can still make other parts not only props

[@fishhunt9874]

I was looking at purchasing one of these propellers for all of the benefits that they provide. I could not pull the trigger as the price was 5x that of my current factory SS propeller.

[@cyclicm1622]

Weird question, could dimpling the surface of those props increase the props output? Between gold balls, boat bottoms, and now piston tops, it seems like something a cnc shop should explore.

[@paintballthieupwns]

- It would make it worse. The dimples on a golf ball help detach the flow of air from the surface of the ball. Think of a prop like a wing - you want the fluid flow to stay attached or you lose lift/thrust. That detachment is a stall

[@sdvten]

I'd put money on more cavitation and increased prop slip if you do that.

[@larsjrgensen5975]

The prop itself would also need to be thicker to make room for the dimples and still keep the same strength. The machining time could also double compared to now, I am guessing the machine time is already more then twice as long as old classic design props.

[@jttech44]

The dimples are to create flow sepration and allow the golf ball to slip through the air with less drag. A prop has the opposite problem, you want the flow to remain attached for as long as possible because as soon as it detaches you get cavitation. Cavitation is low pressure where the water boils and then the surrounding water pressure collapses the bubbles. That collapse causes noise, drag, and wears out the prop significantly faster. In addition to that, if the prop cannot grab the water, it can't transmit force into it, and therefore cannot do its job of moving the boat. So, great idea on a car, or a golf ball, but, bad idea on a prop.
