I actually launched the boat last year and did a couple miles before the drive failed. It moves quite nicely. That prop works best at low rpm. I didn't make it up. I researched it . It also has twin rudders and turns like any other boat.
@OK55OK55OK12 жыл бұрын
Yeh, that's quite a project you've finished!! I like it!! the only thing I see that should be changed is the way the rudders work. I'm sure you went to great extremes making them move so easily that you can't even feel it.....BUT, it needs to hold wherever you put it. If you want to turn left, go straight, or whatever, you want the boat to steer itself. That's the key, that it steers itself. You just make adjustments to the direction! Great Job man!! You should answer some questions below!!!

I hope to answer some of your questions. It's 8" PVC pipe by ten feet long. It easily carried my weight at 160 lbs. On the test drive a pedal broke off and I limped back to the dock. I dropped my cell phone in the water when I launched the boat and subsequently had a fight with them camera man (wife) over the lost phone. (She doesn't understand the concept of "it's insured"). So there is no video! The boat went into storage while I built my next boat, a twenty foot center console with inboard diesel. Watch the videos of" Building Rescue Minor" on the gosexman channel. Sorry I don't have more pictures of the drive mechanism. It's home made with gears and chain. The model airplane propeller is the proper choice for such low RPMs. Boat propellers are designed for thousands of RPMs. I hope to relaunch this summer 2014. I must redesign the chair. The angle is wrong for incumbent pedaling. I may add a sail or a kite for fun.

gosexman Can you give me more information on The model airplane propeller? What part number, were you can get it, ect and maybe the gars and chain. What is the ratio of the drive?
@qayaqbuilder12 жыл бұрын
I imagine that it would sit loud in the water because of the weight of the PVC, even if it is hollow. Also the small propellers can't afford optimum propulsion. I'd suggest wider blades.

cause it's pedal powered and in case you haven't noticed people in wheelchairs usually got sort of a problem with anything where their feet would cause the propulsion.

A word of advice, you want some means of draining that PVC pipe... Although it may be 100% sealed, PVC is NOT 100% water proof, and it's easier to get some in there than it is to get some out..

How did you attach the wood boards to the PCV pipes? It looks like you bolted them down. I wanted to see if it is air tight, so it will give me some idea on how to attach a floor to the pontoons.
@TheIsmaelIsaac8 жыл бұрын
+Melvin Colvin .. I really don't know if you can avoid the board thing by simply making T joints to attach 6 or 8" PCV pipes to go across the two 10" pipes.
@Spirit61213 жыл бұрын
Did you change out the prop and use an actual boat prop: the R/C airplane prop might work marginally but is inefficient in the water and a trolling motor prop will give you better speed and control and take up less space on the bottom.

Do you have any more pictures of how you made the pedals and the gearing for the prop? I have a kayak with a center hatch that is exposed to the water and I want to see if I can make a pedal system that can easily drop in and out of that hatch. It wouldn't be nearly as long as yours. Maybe 18" or so from the center of the pedals to the center of the prop.

More cubic centimeter but less weight. The best pipe what I've found is about 73 kg and 0,56 cubicmeter, but I'm sure that there's better somewhere. )))))Rgds

Hi Robert, I used schedule 40 PVC pipe which is quite thick and pretty heavy. I'm not sure what the weight is. If I did it again I would look for a thinner walled pipe.

Róbert Szél "schedule 40" PVC has a much thicker wall and is much heavier then the thinner PVC Pipe (class 200.) Schedule 80 is even thicker and heavier. I'll list the wall thicknesses and pressure ratings (in psi) of the three types of PVC pipe below. All three examples are 1" diameter pipes... Sched 80: 0.179" (630) Sched 40: 0.133" (450) Class 200: 0.63" (200)

They are very efficient they are used in all the human powered speed records the same APC 18 '' they work well on electric outboards as well low speed high torque. Better to push a large quantity of water a bit faster than the boat than a small quantity at high speed and create lots of turbulence wasting energy. look at the human powered aircraft and the modern large diameter geared high bypass jet engines.
