Laura´s Turbo Raft

This week i changed my video plans last minute because i found a broken grass trimmer...turned out the gashose was ripped - an easy fix.
so i decided to build a raft that is propellerd by the grastrimmer.
it was much easier than i expected. i only had to rotate the shaft 180 degrees and form a new propeller because the blade would have been way to dangerous and not effective.
the raft was a pretty straight forward build as well. i didn´t calculate anything, i just figured it out as i went.
of course this isn´t very practical and i think the motor is too small to drive the raft for a longer period but it sure was a lot of fun and it was cool to see that it worked.
also i think i put a little too much oil in the gas...that´s why there was so much smoke :)
hope you enjoyed this video as much as i did!
leave me a comment, subscribe and like if you want to!
see ya next week!

SORRY ABOUT THE DOUBLE LOGO IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
i didn´t understand how to properly brand my videos and now i can´t fix that unless i take the video down and upload it again which would delete all the comments, likes and clicks.

[@Mienecus]

The concept is marvelous. The realization is perfect. The testing is succesful and hilarious. Perfect video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@laurakampf]

glad you enjoy it as much as i do

[@MichaelKieweg]

Ich bin echt beeindruckt. Ich hätte drauf gewettet, daß dich der Motorsensenturbo keinen Meter weit bringt. Ganz großes Kino! Chapeau!

[@laurakampf]

+Michael Kieweg vielen dank!

[@garythompson6986]

Cool Build! Mixing mosquito controlling weed eater exhaust with S.E. Asia longboat propulsion brought back long ago memories. Tunes were toe tapping too!! Way to go!!

[@laurakampf]

haha

[@BrassLock]

That motor is probably powerful enough if you have a better propeller shape. Thais use small motors attached to a similar shaft, called a "longtail", so it can be very practical. Lots of fun watching your enthusiasm. Your friends and Smudo must love your crazy inventions!!!

[@laurakampf]

the thai long tail boats are a bit more dynamic in shape than my clumps raft :)

[@RichardMartin]

Am I the only one who thought that someone was going to fall in? Or maybe Smudo would jump in.... Love it, another great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@laurakampf]

[@tooljunkie555]

[@laurakampf]

thanks, ron! we had a great time on the water!

[@divyajnana]

You are amazing! AND the raft floats 3 people and a Smudo! And don't forget the weed-wacker propulsion system...just like the boats in Thailand.

[@laurakampf]

thank you! it was a lot of fun, especially when we all got up there

[@Strangernightg]

Wow Laura that was great . You did a wonderful job on both the making of the video and on the making of your raft . Thanks for sharing with us KZbin .

[@laurakampf]

you are very welcome :)

[@EdwardIglesias]

Very cool! Many years ago a friend built a similar vessel using 55 gallon oil drums as pontoons and was able to fit a canopy on it for shade. It had two moters that never worked.

[@laurakampf]

i have a huge oil drum flying around and since this project was so much fun i think i will do some water-related project with it as well

[@EdwardIglesias]

Jetski?

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

Our imaginations are our more best assets! This was brilliant, for the concept alone, Laura....we HAVE to hang out someday! Really fun stuff, SIEGE THE DAY!

[@laurakampf]

i have a feeling that we will get to hang out one day! looking forward to that!

[@therealboofighter]

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Well Laura, It floated..... LOL Great build...... Love your creativity! Felix from Nebraska

[@laurakampf]

thanks felix!

[@PaulJohnsLife]

Whimsical and wonderful project! Loved your laugh when the motor actually moved you. Enjoy!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, paul

[@Don.Challenger]

Nicely done happily used and Smudo! Oops, careful now, I see the safety folks sidle up to say "PPE - life preservers" and nearly spoil all the fun. Have a good week.

[@laurakampf]

thanks

[@gregmiller2510]

Hello from South Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA!

[@ratrodramblin]

I love the 80s paint scheme. Its RAD

[@bayonasdesign]

hahahaha! you nailed it!! I think every child inside us is jealous about you right now!

[@laurakampf]

:)

[@MrSpankymc]

Absolutely brilliant, your creativity never ceases to amaze me.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, mark!

[@caesar2164]

I love that you wear your Sinn Navitimer in the shop, like Jimmy Diresta does with his submariner! :)

[@laurakampf]

[@rioarriba7454]

[@g2macs]

Came by via that lunatic Canadian for a lookee, subscribed and enjoying your vids.

[@laurakampf]

awesome! cool to have you on board :)

[@BrianAWoods]

+Laura Kampf nice video very creative 😊

[@outdoorzwithcadentripp2412]

Laura Kampf where did u get the pipe and what size is it

[@RussGetsIt]

The shovel oar is perfect. Awesome build!

[@NornerNlhoutbewerking]

Haha that was just too much fun! Your attention to detail is what makes your projects and videos stand out from the rest. Decalling those floaters is just the finishing touch! Great video.

[@laurakampf]

thanks for appreciating my detail work! that is where the fun is for me

[@MattFriedrichs]

Just like Junkyard Wars! Nicely done.

[@laurakampf]

never seen that show. is it good?

[@MattFriedrichs]

I haven't watched in years, but it was fun. Teams of people building various things, including boats from "junk"

[@matthiasbernhard9987]

"Und es war Sommer ... !"Schöne Idee, das.Das Material haben wir auch auf der Baustelle und einen Teich gleich um die Ecke.Vielleicht machen wir hier einenkleinen Wettbewerb draus, wenn dieanderen Jungs ausm Urlaub zurück sind.

[@laurakampf]

ja hammer! macht das und schickt mir bitte n foto :)

[@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958]

Awesomely cool turbo raft! Great vid showing how its made too.

[@FeralBoyKnives]

These are my favorite kind of projects!

[@laurakampf]

mine too!

[@njmcliffe]

Trimming your raft with a trimmer! Lovely build and great video, thanks.

[@laurakampf]

thanks for watching nick!

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Sweet! Find the sweet spot on that shaft angle and a little tweaking with the prop and you can get it up on plane.

[@handmadeisbetter]

So aerodynamic. Such speed. Wow.

[@laurakampf]

haha

[@kjellski]

Yeah! TURBO!!! WITH CAPTAIN CAPS errr Laura! :) Sorry, I couldn't resist... cool build and nice motor! ;) awesome how you improvised on the propeller...

[@laurakampf]

thanks, kjell!

[@StefanoilFalegname]

too much oil mixed with gasoline! :) ciao Laura, ti seguo sempre!!!

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

She will put oil at 4%, the correct dose would be 2%...but was Turbo Raft!

[@StefanoilFalegname]

io il mio decespugliatore lo faccio andare al 2,5 % con il sintetico

[@fixbuildbypaolobradadiy7976]

Stefano il Falegname si,2,5 è perfetto,l'importante è non esagerare ne in troppo ne in troppo poco!

[@MillersMotors]

came here from AVE to say the same XD, cool channel!

[@435now]

Rule of thumb is 2.5 oz. Per one gallon of gas

[@MattDiresta]

that is so cool!and it holds 3 people!! Turbo Raft!!!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, matt!

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

The most inefficiently powered raft in existence... but it's a powered raft :D Nice.

[@laurakampf]

haha. it´s a start and it made us smile all day :)

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

Laura Kampf You could always turn this thing into a water bike. I'd like to see an original design of one.

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Perfect snd crazy idea! I liked the painting you made with the letters, it came super awesome!!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, bill

[@robertevans6481]

That's cool 3 people and pup...and still floats....awesome.

[@laurakampf]

that was the hardcore test

[@robertevans6481]

+Laura Kampf 👍

[@tazytka]

Awesome little speed boat you got there! Always look forward to your videos every Sunday morning!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, tommy

[@gregorythomas333]

Totally kewl raft! Love the paint job...but the motor is THE BOMB! Your thumb at 1:44 ...OUCH!

[@laurakampf]

finger is fine again! thanks

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

brush cutter for a propeller? bwahah, classic. "turbo" indeed. in the future, though, i'd recommend to you a stihl brushcutter; it would have more power :-P you are one of a kind, love.

[@laurakampf]

thanks

[@BootlegBuilder]

Always a fan of Kampf hand lettering. Sweet...

[@kraftybeard4272]

Haha love it! Really fun project :) all you need now is deckchair and some beer

[@laurakampf]

we had the beer ...:)

[@kraftybeard4272]

Bliss :)

[@MakeSomething]

Oh wow! That is so awesome!! Turbo!

[@laurakampf]

thank you david! TUUURBO :)

[@JMTosses]

So cool. I don't even know what to say ... it's just wow ... cool. Thank you for sharing - good you're having a great time. Cheers!

[@laurakampf]

thanks my friend!

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

Among other things, I loved the claw hammer...minus one claw. Reminds me of my dad, who would never give up on a tool.

[@laurakampf]

never leave a man behind, right ? :)

[@rehanperera759]

Long time ago! I'm for sure! I saw you! Because I remember your tattoos! 👀✌💟

[@JackmanWorks]

Turbo for sure! haha Love the paint scheme

[@laurakampf]

thank you!mthe paint job was really fun to do

[@TunMaker]

one nice new style project great work =) i'd love it if you do more of these thanks for making these videos

[@laurakampf]

i will do

[@7Westwood]

I love your videos Laura, keep up the great work.... :-)

[@rippermcguinn]

Very cool - I didn't know that you had wilderness like that in your area (similar to here in Canada). The propeller setup reminds me of those that you see in southeast Asia, a motor with a long shaft. Good build!

[@laurakampf]

yes, we have a lot of nature in germany! thanks

[@ivancarrillo7974]

That's the secret, love and enjoy what you do! congrats another awesome project

[@laurakampf]

you got it!

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

Cool raft! Summer is the best. Unless you like to ski...

[@laurakampf]

i prefer summer

[@paulbuckeljr8870]

Me too, although winter makes summer feel really good.

[@ConstructIcon]

What great ingenuity! Totally awesome!!

[@laurakampf]

thank you

[@HomeMadeModern]

awesome!

[@Carraroebouncingcastles]

COOL FUN PROJECT AMAZING VIDEO VERY ENTERTAINING LOVE IT 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stevecollins9450]

Great video and raft build, Laura.

[@laurakampf]

thanks, steve

[@shortvideostutorials.1]

There is no doubt how creative you are? Great work. The tattoos looks amazing too. Thanks for sharing. Can you please make another video about tattoos? Thanks

[@capnskustomworks]

So awesome, the IG pics barely hinted at how cool that was! Some sweet exhaust pipes and a more permanent mounting system and you'll be evading the law by moonlight in no time!!! (Also, your WeedWhacker technology in Germany is SERIOUS!!! Wow!)

[@laurakampf]

haha, thanks!

[@capnskustomworks]

+Laura Kampf You're most welcome!

[@kevintowle9665]

Love your channel, cool stuff. You have amazing skills.

[@WildmanTech]

I love the shovel as an oar, but I think a thicker prop with more pitch is in order. Good job!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@svenelsi5605]

Cool.. ich habe vor 7 Jahren mal etwas ähnliches gebaut.. wurden dann aber von der Guardia Civil und der span. Küstenwache mitgenommen.. Der Spass war es wert ;)

[@Rouverius]

Great build, Laura! +colinfurze, Watch out, mate. Looks like you've got some new competition from Cologne.

[@laurakampf]

haha, i think i have a lot to learn before i can compete with him :)

[@rabid_monkey8714]

Love your stuff Laura, but I think it went faster with the shovel (oops, I meant paddle)! Great job!

[@laurakampf]

thanks.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Cool project!

[@laurakampf]

thanks, man

[@cheif10thumbs]

That thingamatooldude AvE sent me. Great fun! Thank you Laura!

[@laurakampf]

thanks for coming over!

[@Yenrabbit]

Looks like a lot of fun! I have just discovered your channel and it looks wonderful - your videos are done so well :)

[@laurakampf]

glad you like my work, jonathan!

[@lonesometinman3147]

Got me an idea to float down the Rio Grande just need a lawn chair and a patio umbrella.cool thanks

[@Castle6064]

Super Cool. Great experiment and such fun

[@laurakampf]

yes! we had a blast!

[@ecalzo]

well done.. having fun it is always the best point to start with ... a little more foam on the underneath and 2 bigger pvc pipes at the side and the raft will carry more girls at one time ... well done anyway.. cool project ..

[@laurakampf]

thanks

[@terryhansen5164]

That's it this is what I was hoping for when I seen the Instagram photos. Greatest thing ever

[@laurakampf]

thanks, terry

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Absolutely beautiful! And the raft looks good too.

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@luisenriquelira]

espectacular, felicitaciones!!!!

[@asbjrnhuseb9618]

Good job, entertaining video! :) I have one suggestion, make the propeller out of a stiffer material, the one you have now can't handle the forces and the blades loose their pitch under power. One made of metal would give you more speed.

[@LikeOnATree]

That is awesome!! Love the raft!

[@laurakampf]

thanks!

[@InMused]

Awesome fun Laura. Damn I want to live in Germany!

[@laurakampf]

germany is pretty nice :)

[@Mzmasta]

Awesome!Fun project & great paint job ;)
