The Tesla Catamaran!

[@dasmotiu]

This was a major nostalgia moment for me. When I was at university (University College, Durham, England) in 1969, I decided to participate in a "Raft Race" which was an annual event at that time. Most of the entrants cobbled together junk and anything that would float, and hoped for the best. I had some limited woodworking skills, so I decided to make one from scratch, and the idea was somewhat like yours, but at that time I had never even heard of hydrodynamics, so my raft was much cruder. Each hull top and bottom was was 10 foot long by 10 inch wide by 3/4 inch thick pine from the local hardware store. I tapered the ends of the boards somewhat like your technique, and then applied lengths of fiberboard 12 inches wide vertically like in your design. It was held together by roofing nails about two inches apart!!!. I then painted it over and over again, until I could be sure it would last at least an hour in the water. I made two kayak paddles from more or less similar materials. I then recruited a friend who was a long-distance athlete, which I was definitely not. The course was about a mile along the River Wear which runs right through Durham, round the castle and cathedral. There were about 15 entrants. I had no idea how well it would perform, and never had the opportunity to have a test run. Off we went. The raft paddled incredibly easily, steered well, but sluggishly compared to a canoe or kayak. There was not much freeboard! It seemed too easy. There was one other entrant who was quite fast, but their poor construction made them stop and make adjustments quite often. They also had six paddlers whereas I only had two. Eventually their raft came apart and they all took a swim. After that it was just keep going. I could tell we had a leak in one of the hulls but it didn't slow us down much. We won. Thank you for reminding me of this crazy stunt from 50 years ago.

[@dustman96]

The reason for the tapered hull shape in the rear is to minimize turbulence. As you said, it takes energy to impart motion to a fluid mass, or any mass for that matter. If you create vortices you are changing the direction of motion of the water, which costs energy. The goal is to part and replace the water with as little disturbance as possible, whether that disturbance be waves or vortices. But if your hull is too long and skinny then you wind up with a lot of surface area relative to the volume. The more surface area the more friction. There is a sweet spot between these factors for a given speed and displacement.

The amount of knowledge / technical knowhow on this channel is absolutely absurd. If this was a part time level of quality and in depth information, what is full time going to be like?

[@Egersunder1]

The more correct term would actuallt be 18 65 0, because the name tells us that they are 18mm in diameter, 65mm long and the 0 is because they are round. But I also call them 18-6-50s.

[@seanflanagan5674]

@Kristoffer Klungland, you are both correct and wise: "18, 65, oh (or zero)" is the proper and best way to designate them, but "everybody" says it the way @Andrew Wilhelm recommends.

[@vikassm]

@@Corndog4382 Well, very little of what is taught in an engineering college is considered cutting-edge or even acceptable in industry-best companies. There's a reason why 'academic' and 'professional' are so vastly different. A degree will let you learn the basics and bare basics only. Can ideas from channels like this be turned into mass-produced stuff? I don't think so, I completely agree with you there. Does the content allow for some innovative problem solving on real jobs? Definitely. I'm an automotive-engineer turned agricultural-engineer. Channels like this, or other domains of knowledge expand your thinking in a way that allows you to build on the basics and apply new ideas to old stuff. I'm no stranger to woodworking and carpentry, I'm also super familiar with automotive sheetmetal & fabrication work. But I've never built a boat. This channel's video on boatbuilding and fiberglass strengthening allowed me to apply fiberglass strengthening to some home-built furniture. I'm working on a commercial greenhouse project where metal was too heavy and wood was too weak for a certain aesthetic. Guess what the answer was? Fiberglass. Saved me money, and basically the project would have gone a lot slower (Or not gone ahead at all!) if not for the cross-domain ideas that come from channels like this.

Several years ago, I retired and became bored with so much free time. I stumbled across some KZbin videos regarding skin on frame kayaks and canoes. So I built one, and then I knew there was away to take that knowledge to the next level and began looking at Catalans. They came in all different sizes. I started looking into building one with the skin on frame design concept in mind. I started to design the Catamaran I wanted to build, but I was stuck at how to keep the deck sturdy enough, square and sufficient storage space. Watching this video answered all of those questioned and also answered a question I had on propulsion. I had not considered solar power and using trolling motors. Thank you for this video and other video's that I have watched that have given me a treasure trove of knowledge from which I have put into actual practice on little projects. Please keep up your awesome work and the diverse video content. So much information, explained in very concise form, coupled with the fact you make it all so interesting. Truly awesome work.

This is a displacement boat and I originally drew it up with electric propulsion ( trolling motors ) but could not find any suitable solution for speed and endurance so I have been considering dropping in a 40 hp outboard hidden under the rear deck. The thing that got me to watch your video was the name " Tesla ". I love that guy, his engineering and problem solving skills and creativity, a gift from God. You have some Tesla in you too, I may have a smidge but with no education. When people see my project under construction they always ask if I am an engineer. Pretty funny as I am a 70 year old high school dropout that never built anything. The propulsion system you put together was intriguing and well thought out. Please share with me how that worked out in in your sea trials and if any modifications were required if you would be so kind. One of the best videos I've seen.

You are amazing. Science and practical application together and as an engineering physics graduate which combined both these facets, as an audio nut, and as a lover of fun/potentially explosive projects…and boats…I find this to be my favourite channel ever. Thank you all so much.

[@randysnyder4651]

Just watched your catamaran build and loved it! I was thinking you were going to add hydrofoils to the build along with a Sail or two. Maybe next time?

[@SparkFastt]

Doc Brown: “Where we’re going we don’t need... roads!” Awesome video! Thanks for increasing the fun technical content on KZbin!

[@onecalladay]

Great series. Your "This is a hydrofoil" comment was, I suspect a perfect ending for your audience. Thanks for your work.

[@imdak7467]

When I saw the video before watching it, I thought one hour is a little long, maybe I skip this one. After watching it I wonder where that hour went, good job!

[@lennagy3231]

I wish I had a dad like you growing up. I've always wanted to engineer things, pushing boundaries. Thank you, gentlemen, for your time and expertise! Hydrofoil, woot~!

[@robinbriggs2]

I love this guy. He's a freaking genius at pretty much everything.

[@MittyNuke1]

I was just thinking that this guy pretty much defines "dangerously scary". At first glance he seems like some dude building stuff at home and then you realize he's a casual super genius.

[@stalin200000]

... everything except boat construction

This channel is so good, it is hard to compare with anything else on the tube. Remember, subscribing isnt enough, you got to click the bell, CLICK THE BELL!

[@solcrusher]

fisk7aal or use RSS feeds! I don’t trust KZbin to notify me of anything ;)

[@clipse85]

"If you can give us a comment" Who knew that spam would be considered helpful one day :D All joking aside though, I really love your channel! You seem extremely intelligent and knowledgeable, and that's getting rarer every day...

[@iuriryzewski2648]

Found this channel two days ago, looking for DIY speakers, very impressed with the quality, the care in using the terms, the deepens and the wide amount of knowledge embedded in it. I am really grateful for the information. God bless your efforts, I hope you enjoy a lot continue doing this, long living! Cheers from Brazil!!!

[@TechIngredients]

Thanks and welcome!

[@chesterbeebe8332]

Man, I love this guy. If I had had instructors like this when I was in school, i might have been able to build that hi efficiency lateral generators. I seriously love this guy.

[@KarlandKristy]

Maybe you could have even made the powered piston pump knuder valve.

[@P8qzxnxfP85xZ2H3wDRV]

This is one of the best videos I've seen in my entire life.

[@Conservator.]

Can’t wait to see the hydrofoil in action.

[@MatthewRulla]

The ending was such as tease. I can't wait to see more.

[@SidneyBoud]

We don't see it in action. Shucks.

[@Conservator.]

Sidney Boudro Not yet, I hope

[@daveferrier723]

I watched this same video many years ago. I still appreciate all the technical discussion. My interest in buying or building a boat have been renewed. Especially after spending a week in Ocracoke NC last week. Thank you.

[@TechIngredients]

Sure!

[@mimonteboi]

i wish i had you as a teacher in high skool, as we never stop learning i am happy to have you as a teacher now.

[@DJLenoxXx]

Thought the same mate!

[@rudolfrednose7351]

Good thing I scrolled down the comments. You said it! (But when I was in school, I would have been distracted by the image in my head of the “fair lady’s perfectly curved shapes”.)

[@cmerkyurky]

I love the idea of full time tech ingredients!!

[@michahermann7869]

"This is a hydrofoil" man you really know how to make me excited :D Really love your channel, I've learned so many things and got inspired so much by you for my own projects (even though my progress is much slower), that I think you really earned some sweet sweet patreon love from me :) (P.S. next year or so Fischerspindle will come out with a 500.000 RPM electric micro turbo compressor. Would be nice to see it in action in your hands before I chain it up for some kind of electric fun rocket engine ;) )

[@denisdecharmoy]

Thanks guys for your service to humanity, showing us the ways of doing things, we never thought to do. Blessings, and keep us looking forward..

[@dennoavassell1100]

This is the third time over several years that I have watched this video. I Think its awesome. also I have watched other videos done by you. Best wishes.

[@gillesottervanger9106]

I would love to see that thing come out of the water on a set of hydrofoils! I really like the content you guys produce, but the videos are often a little anticlimactic. This is an hour long video about building a boat. I would have liked to see it touch the water at some point and see the result of the engineering on the behaviour in the water. I understand this takes a lot of time to cover, but I hope you guys are able to do so in the future.

[@Donorcyclist]

Gilles Ottervanger I would have liked to have seen some of the testing that was talked about.

[@mikeworkman3593]

So you'd rather a 2 hour video? 3 hour? How long do you need it? Why does it need to have a conclusion. Thats like telling a car repair channel they better have that car running and on the road in one video, or else I'm a whiny little baby. If he takes 15 hours of video to build something, so be it. If you don't like it, movie along. The rest of us like it just fine.

[@nrml76]

@@mikeworkman3593 He could make 2 videos instead of one and include some footage of testing and performance. There is a sense of satisfaction in seeing the success of a lot of hard work. It would help the channel grow.

[@mikeworkman3593]

@@nrml76 um....... Yeah... 2 videos. That's a fantastic idea. Are you somehow suggesting he will never make another video?

[@ChadDidNothingWrong]

@@mikeworkman3593 Relax man. This stuff he said is clearly meant to be constructive. A concept you don't seem to be familiar with.

[@jamesnelson2701]

I really like the inclusion of the background science behind the builds!!

[@matthewsmith7629]

Wish I was on your crew. Learning and problem solving on such projects must be the most fun one can have. More people need to learn to use the can do attitude that utilizes the creative problem solving skills that makes watching your channel so fun and informative.

[@TechIngredients]

Thanks.

[@M1k383r63r]

You have the gift of blending 'over my head' tech with easily understood concepts. Your videos are highly addictive.

[@bigdr33gtst]

if only my school teachers explained things like you do, i may have been an engineer. good luck with the channel.

[@tonysatariano9866]

This is so cool. Having "crewed" on a trimaran and owning a small 16 foot mono hull i was impressed by the video content and the ability of the teacher to describe the process of construction. my congratulations! looking forward to seeing progress. bravo!

[@WFSmalley2112]

The information I get by watching this Chanel is really spot on. The explanations are dumbed down enough to give me a full understanding of the principals applicable to the project. Bravo Sir. I'm in!

[@joeblack7261]

Using "Titanic" as a verb. Priceless.

[@jamespfp]

It is difficult to talk about CNN without using Titanic as a verb, as well.

[@stupot8413]

I remember watching the DIY speaker video, and I couldn't get my head around the quality of the video, vs so few subscribers. I was hooked by the jet engine, and I was glad you were picking up subscribers. I finally had a spare hour to really take in this video, as I love all the engineering details. This channel will continue to pick up more support, just keep up the great work, and newbies will have more to binge on.

[@jameybutteris7278]

Just became one of my favorite channels. Saw a few earlier videos and am impressed with the practical approach and sound engineering techniques.

[@duanefreeman3152]

I have thought about building a boat many times. You have given me many many ideas to improve my plans.
