After watching this, I had several design change ideas.. 1) why not drill through the caps and silicone seal them instead of the bottle necks? Makes resealing and repressurizing possible. 2) add banding or shrink wrap around the edges to ensure it stays together structurally. 3) add 1-2 ounces of sand per bottle. Maybe 15-20 lbs total. Will make raft heavier, but increase stability on water. 4) put the green bottles in a pattern amongst the clear bottles to form your logo, name, or something geometric.
@chrisnotap3 жыл бұрын
All great ideas!! 1) I tried every possible adhesive out there in order to be able to use the lid which was the easiest simplest method, but no adhesive would stick to the polypropylene caps. The bottles are PET and silicone adheres to it nicely. In the end after much testing that's why I went with this method. 2) yes, you could but I wanted to keep it simple. 3) I also wanted to keep it light weight. 4) I thought of that after gluing the last bottle. Darn. Would have been cool! Thanks!

Very clever, and a fun video. I liked your method of pressurizing the bottles. Using the goop as a valve/seal was brilliant. I have pressurized bottles by putting them in a freezer before putting the cap on, and also by putting a bit of dry ice in each one. Your method was best because it inflated the flattened bottles. As for propelling your raft, yes, a pole would be good - I have done many a day of canoe poling. If you scull with your paddle - swish it side-to-side and twist so it's flying each way - you could get better use out of it over the front. Me, I'd put an oar over the back and scull with it. Thanks for posting. Enjoy.

@@rabbitrabbit1243 I hope that is sarcasm. If not, you are what I call a De-Cycler. The whole point is that it's a CYCLE. All this guy did was take 1000 bottles out of the cycle, forcing 1000 bottles worth of new material to be produced, and twice the amount of (eventual) pollution. Reuse is the second step. Recycle is the one that really makes the difference. If he recycled the bottles after making the raft, that's not De-Cycling, but it would have been difficult to get all the silicone out of them. The people who cut them up to make string and clothes, or build houses out of plastic instead of stone are just ignorantly causing a lot of additional harm via oil drilling, refining, energy costs, and doubling the amount pollution for every bottle they use. Again, the whole point is that it's a cycle. Imagine if I said I was a hero of the water cycle because I collected my run off and sent it into space where it couldn't collect pollution and transport it to the ocean. That might sound good, but only if you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The main difference between building a house out of bottles and throwing them in a landfill is, eventually we are likely to go mine the landfills for resources, but the house De-Cycles the materials indefinitely. The point of recycling is to put the plastic back into a cycle, rather than constantly producing new bottles. Taking material out of the cycle does the opposite, by insuring that those bottles will never again be used to create new ones, so the new ones come from.... Oil refineries. Great job keeping BP in business, terrible job helping the environment.

Because it only seems like a good idea if you don't know anything about recycling or building rafts. The raft isn't very good. The shape of the bottom might make it stable, but you'll spend 5 times the energy paddling to get practically nowhere. It would be much easier to build a better raft out of wood. And, so far as recycling, this is the exact opposite of recycling. Probably more harmful to the environment than putting the bottles in a landfill or just throwing them straight in the ocean without the silicone. Because at least then, someone else might eventually collect them, and use them to make new bottles. This way, the new ones have to be produced by new plastic, which comes from oil refineries, which are filled by tanker ships, that come from off shore oil drilling platforms. In short, the guy failed to understand the basics of raft building, and the basics of recycling. Only fools would call this a great idea. It's a silly novelty, that encourages the ignorant to build terrible and extremely ecologicaly impactful rafts that aren't even comfortable or nice to look at.

Damn! This is ingenious! I'm considering doing that myself and adding sides to it to make a fishing raft. How many bottles does it take to make that raft? By the way, I would totally seal the caps to prevent leakage.

Love this and your creative thinking!! Maybe if you ever try this again you could make the raft more aerodynamic like a canoe so it would be easier to navigate with a paddle? Just a suggestion. So many uses for things we just “throw” away. Have you seen they make bricks out of plastic bottles for homes? What a great solution from waste to shelter.

The silicone seal was a really good, simple idea.

The testing I did before hand showed it to be very strong. How it lasts in the sun and water over a long period is another thing.

@@chrisnotap I imagine you experimented with drilling the cap and sealing that. What made drilling the bottle neck necessary as opposed to the cap?

Tom Hanks in Castaway should have build this. I’m sure Wilson would have liked it. 😊

I agree. In my opinion that is the thing that's ruining peoples health the most. I am a water guy myself and I do not drink any juices or pop at all. Water is my beverage of choice.
