I always love Colin's videos but man I haven't laughed this much in a video in awhile. So much fun :)

[@Draagenn]

I feel like for canoeing this would be even better, because with two props in the water both sides, it would allow you to go straight and not worry about the spinning problem.

[@jackscott5499]

Double trigger and a separate chain system for each side. And have it bend in the middle so it can lie flat over his knee in the boat. But each side bends into the water. Hold both triggers to go forward and hold only one to spin

[@EdBrumley]

You should have curved the handle so both props would be in the water at the same time. To turn you would lift 1 prop out of the water. Or create an outboard that hangs off the back.

[@grarglejobber7941]

@@jackscott5499 That would just be a motorboat.

[@DannySullivanMusic]

spot on. 110% correct dude

[@MrPinguinzz]

@@jackscott5499 bending it would create a torque to counter the prop, it would make it useless as you would basically be holding all the power with your wrists or it would fly out of the water

[@noneofyourbusiness3477]

Suggestions on the paddle 1) shaft instead of a chain, that will stop the water climbing up. 2) angle the poles so both are in the water at the same time ^ shape. 3) turn the paddle part 90 degrees, so that the paddle is parallel to the boat, but of course keep the propellers pointed to the back. This will reduce drag and let it be a kind of rudder. And 4) if you wanted to get super fun, make the paddle part rotatable, so that it could be a proper rudder. Bicycle handlebars for stearing and all. Love everything you make, best to you and yours this holiday season!

[@03Trekker]

100% agree, I immediately thought of the shaft concept as I assumed the chain would wear and potentially break inside that pole

[@jeradw7420]

Also have 2 separate motors so only the one in the water is spinning.

[@canonicaltom]

A shaft is the right idea, but it still has to be more like a hybrid paddle and not just a double boat motor, to still maintain the concept. Would be interesting to have separate controls for the two sides so only the one in the water spins.

[@cy4208]

I thought of this too,I decided not to comment on it because it’s basically just a portable motor you stick in the ground

[@Rockit66]

Agree. And if he had 2 drills that could rest comfortably on each side one could decide to turn with just one or forward with both. even reverse as the drills have that function. We are basically reverting back to the basic principles of a motorized boat now, but still a cooler way of driving it. I guess if the point was to absolutely use paddles, it would be a wheel of paddles on both sides or something like that

[@WiltshireMan]

Merry Christmas Colin. Thanks for all the laughs you have given me over this last year. Just brilliant:)

[@outdoorescape2619]

Perhaps if the paddle shaft were bowed downwards at each end so that both props can propel the katak for forward movement... I think an A frame (as suggested) is an ok idea but would result in difficulty lifting one prop out of the water for steering. That said, as it is, another marvelous crazy idea is born.

[@TheMegamaster44]

Or just have 2 drills

[@chitlitlah]

If the paddle shaft were bowed downwards, the shaft would just spin in your hands when you gas on it. It would need some bars welded to it that sit on your shoulders or something like that to prevent the bar from spinning.

[@davidelliott5843]

Why not put the propeller shaft straight down the paddle shaft and hang it out the back of the boat. What a silly idea. Who would do that?

[@DannySullivanMusic]

wow. unequivocally correct

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

@@chitlitlah Besides if you want a usable config you get an outboard motor, and those are easily available. This was about keeping the paddle and add props. It's never going to be a good practical solution but it's fun.

[@TheRealTburt]

I only found out about this YT tradition last year. It has become a really enjoyable thing to watch this time of year.

[@holtpage8226]

Instead of using propellers consider using impellers since they are in a housing, hopefully a bit safer. Also is there a way to mount a float switch (like what’s on a sump pump) on each end of the paddle, wired to separate electric motors then the motors would only turn on when in the water? This would help with safety and save battery life without the operator having to consciously think about turning the motors on and off repeatedly.

[@ranxxerox6407]

Also use Carbon Fibre for the tube

[@ethelmini]

Nice thinking, but I reckon it'd be better running continuously & conserving the momentum - unless you're a a really slow paddler.

And this is why I love Colin he reminds me so much of Wallace from Wallace in one minute he is such a eccentric inventor and I just love that he’s like real life wallace

[@ZeroSuitSamo]

That paddle has serious potential. It would be really cool to have an array of moisture detectors, or maybe even as simple as a float, to have each side automatically spin up once they are fully submerged. You could also go to an internal drive shaft design instead of a chain, with a 90 degree gear drive to spin the props, which could also allow for some gear ratio shenanigans of you wanted. It would also make it easier to seal the center section off from water lol. Then lastly just make everything out of composite materials as much as possible to save weight. Carbon fiber drive shaft inside a carbon fiber outer shaft would be ideal. But I could totally see this being at least somewhat practical. The only problem I see is that fundamentally it's going to cause the kayak to zig-zag more I think

[@ZeroSuitSamo]

Oh, also maybe have a directional switch that detects the flow of water which will then tell the motor which way to spin. That way it can still be automatic and be used to paddle forwards and back

[@benpowersification]

[@rhanson1124]

If you built the oar with an approximate 75° angle at the center so both paddles would be in the water at the same time it may work better. To fix the problem with the chain carrying water into the boat, use a drive shaft system like a string trimmer uses, in fact you could purchase a Stihl KombiEngine (used for multiple tool attachments) and rig it to drive both oars driveshafts.

[@Michael-cf9lf]

There is a reason why props on a boat are directly behind the boat.. Now consider that this is the way for rowing a kayak one side at a time, however an old fashioned row bot that is rowed with both oars in the water simultaneously keeping the boat straight and this my friend offers the best chance for your apparatus to work as intended..

[@InventAgate]

Colin, love your videos. I think your powered kayak paddle is a nice stepping off point. Might I suggest a jetted outrigger on a kayak. Or, a pair of jetted outriggers on a kayak. That would be much more user-friendly and exciting to use. Please, keep doing what you are doing. The world needs more Coline Furze. ;-)

Bend the center support so the paddles are at 45 degrees angled into the water. Then you can just lift one side to turn. Both need to be in the water at the same time. Love your shows.

[@roman7954]

Yeah surprised he didn’t angle them so they can both be in the water lol

[@Snickerszn]

[@jdogsful]

its actually hilarious how bad this invention was, and im sure he was imagining something brilliant.

[@zo2913]

Colin has just a brilliant mind. Now imagine, an oar just like he made but, it is angled at the ends so that you dont have to keep swiveling left and right. It has a very powerful lith ion battery pack in the middle where you hold it and two electic turbines just as Colin made but not needing the chain drive for obvious reasons. And waterproof it all. Colin literally created the no paddle electric paddle.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

A lot of people have posted about similar versions, but they all have the same problems. If you angle the ends down like you suggest there will be a torque acting on the paddle twisting the handle in your grip. Someone suggested adding bars going from the paddle to rest on your shoulders to help keeping the paddle from twisting in your grip. It makes everything larger and more clumsy. But the biggest problem is that you now have a impractical motor boat instead of a canoe. And if that's what you want just get an electric outboard motor. It's cheap, easily available and a lot more practical than any of these paddle ideas. What Colin was after was a paddle to use in a canoe, but with props on. Not for it to be useful, convenient or in any way practical but to be fun and absurd. And that it certainly was. It fullfilled all the design criteria, but was perhaps just slightly to scary dangerous to use, which is saying a lot when it's a Colin Furze design.

[@o_o474]

A brilliant idea for an entertaining invention, not rly a practical one (which is sort of the whole point). If you optimized the paddle enough you’d just end up with an outboard motor. Not nearly as entertaining tho!
