Steering is an issue though

[@richardjulien1329]

Suggestions : 1) trying to break the record with lego only parts. 2) trying the old exo force turbine : the blades are in both orientation, would be fun to see what happen with these. 3) testing the old propellers for technic planes ( there are different versions ) 4) trying with even more motors and propeller! Like 4 of them! 5) testing all the existing lego floating hull, from the very old ones to the most recent :D

​@@LucasDynamics That will be the ultimate design challenge. I doubt it is possible using purely Lego parts but it might be possible using a Buwizz 3.0 as the power source. It could deliver enough power to archieve a power to weight ratio similar to pioneer era aircraft although there are many more factors to consider. Got a prototype yet?

[@vladidiazkutchov287]

Like a lot of people said, use a light gear ratio to trade some torque to some rpm. the 3 blades version is the most efficient (the 2 lacks surface and 5 constrain the water flow too much) so stick with it but try a bigger diameter or put 2 on the same axe (like 4 studs apart) to increase thrust. If you're not gonna use vanilla part then try toroidal propellers too. You can aslo use a rubberband as a pulley instead of a shaft to try to reduce drag under water.

This dude deserves a golden medal for his lego builds

[@LucasDynamics]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@AjukingYT]

fr he does bro

[@GERntleMAN]

You designed nice looking but inefficient propellers. They are used at very high rotational speeds since their profilenose eases into the water instead of having a rather broad line cutting into it at the same time. So you probably need three to five times the speed, to get the most out of your design. The size is really not the problem, they are well sized. But you might be limited by the maximum pressure and torque they can withstand. Also the pitch is not necessarily ideal at 0° in the water. It depends on how deep your propellers are submerged and how the weight is distributed along your boat i.e. the point of gravity.

[@IianSaelee-t1z]

Bro are you Elon musk😂😂😂😂😂

[@jaydenself-bb7is]

​@@IianSaelee-t1zbrother, Elon musk builds rockets.

[@Ghetto_Smosh]

To go faster you should probably have less drag in the water. Maybe move the centre of mass back as well. And different props. It depends on a lot of factors which props are most efficient, so do lots of testing as well.

[@basicdriverlicense]

Adjust the gear ratio for more speed than torque. Maybe it takes time for it to hit top speed but it helps getting faster atleast, I hope.

[@LucasDynamics]

I will try this on the next one!

[@bunherr8974]

The key to fast and efficient boats is finding the perfect length of the hull, this has to do with the wave length along side the boat, it affects the drag.

[@LucasDynamics]

What can still be improved?

add a better battery that gives more power to the motors

[@LeviAlexanderTheDragon]

@@LucasDynamics oh ok. I should maybe trust the person that knows about Lego boats more than myself 🤣

[@janicecheah-tq5kb]

First one to do what you first want to do is use lighter materials second of all use lighter motors, but still stronger ones. If you want the stronger motors then put in more Lego floating items as it will balance the buoyancy, making it lighter and glide next put a spoiler at the back it will help toblind it across as it makes it easier. Add at least four motors two for each side if you really want a nice glide, put a triangle shape in front, directing all of the waters to towards the sides, allowing it to glide forward, and remember to put some floats on the bottom in between those two.

I built a boat this summer with the big blue ocean explorer hull with paddle wheels built out of the slightly angled Lego technic pieces and it was very fast. I used the standard motors and the standard power supply

My paddle wheels were much bigger too, for a more efficient power transfer. Propellers double the size of your current ones would make the boat even faster.

You should be able to add more propellers if they don't have caps on the end, which might increase the speed a little

[@Jaggyfluff]

I reckon using larger propellers would make it faster. Since those motors you are using produce a lot of torque, you could put the gear ratio up or use larger props for maximum efficiency :)

@@Frakkture311 Thanks man, really appreciate it!

[@reverse_engineered]

The GPS isn't very accurate: it has trouble measuring slow speeds because the resolution is on the order of a metre. You could get more accurate measurements by timing how long it takes to move between two fixed points. You could put some poles in the sand sticking up out of the water to denote start and finish lines. If you want to measure top speed, just taking a running start so that you are up to full speed by the time you reach the starting point. This is how water races are historically done: buoys denote the start and end and the outline of the course.

[@JohannLee-z6s]

Add a foil at the bottom like a hydrofoil to minimize drag?

Is it possible to get the data file for the 3 Blade Propeller?

Its on Onshape, if you search for Lego Propeller you should find it! But when I have time in the next days I will put a link to it in the video description...

[@frasersteen]

Get 2 more hulls and make the boat longer, in displacement mode like this you should gain sqrt(2) x more speed. Hull speed is ~1.34 x sqrt(length at the waterline) The longer the hull the faster you go. If you can make the length:width ratio >8:1 you can start to exceed this. TL;DR - make it longer.

[@sebastiantsulsang3542]

It can still be approved by adding more float stuff these things and bigger motors for power like an RC motor, but not too powerful or will break apart

It would be interesting to try, but I suspect it won't matter much. The torque required to turn the propellers will be much larger than the torque caused by friction.
