The limiters for speed on a nuclear air crafter carrier are cavitation of the propellers and the strength of the tip of the boat which is flattened for stability. The force needed to go faster through fluid and with a larger vessel increase exponentially, not linearly.
@kushlanravindra57866 ай бұрын
The problem with cavitation is countered by having variable pitch propellers, and hull strength is not an issue considering that an aircraft carriers hull is 4in thick. Hull speed increases when the length of the water plane of a vessel increases, it doesn't decrease. Also there isn't too much of a worry about the energy required to spin the propellers when you have two nuclear powerplants onboard

I love these videos! I also enjoy hull modeling and making crazy-wave RC boat videos, and learned that scale speed actually scales by the square root of length scale, rather than length scale itself. So for 1/200 scale, multiply the speed by about 14. Still really fast: 37 model mph scales to over 500 full scale mph - jumbo jet speed! Time also scales this way - if you want a "real" looking video, slow it to 1/14 speed. This is based on Froude number - it can be used to scale other hull parameters too.

Some advice , the nose design on these aircraft carriers is meant to dive under waves and cruise smooth and stable in giant waves , not a surfer , a smoother , longer pointed nose with a horizontal flat belly will surprisingly make it lift higher and more mass on both ends ( torsional inertia ) will stop the pitch bouncing up and down .

I think this is only possible if they are also massively under-reporting the shaft power of their propulsion. Referencing data like top speeds reported by cruise liners (e.g. 30kts at 80MW for the Queen Mary 2), and using a conservative Cube law P = v^3, it would take a massive 650MW shaft power to reach a speed of 60kts. It's still within the possibility of the nuclear powerplants (2 reactors, 550MW each according to wiki), but to dissipate that much heat on a ship is insane (taking a few tons of sea water per second?).

Large hulls are optimized to allow water to flow around them with out many losses. They are efficient at low speeds and awful at high speeds. Speed hulls are optimized to have the least contact with water, they want to be above water. They are efficient at high speeds but awful at low speeds.

Turns out water doesn't scale linearly. Take a look at something called Dynamic Similitude Speed. You need to use the square root of the scale to determine the scale speed. You also use the square root of the scale to to slow down time when looking at the film of it. You actually reached a scale equivalent of 525.8 mph. Also, there is a scale combat club in the Seattle area that builds functional RC battleships, which sounds right up your alley. It's an engineering challenge to build functional cannons and the damage control to make it survive the fury of battle. Much more fun than basic, boring scale modeling.

About 10 years ago, I took a cheap RC boat from Walmart and added the controls and motor from my wrecked Losi RC car. It had so much power. It would spin the boat clockwise when it accelerated. I wound up adding on a hull plane to the right hand rear corner to counteract the torque. Then I put three battery packs in the nose of the boat to keep it from jumping out of the water. Eventually, I wound up having to shave my prop down to 5/8 of the size it came. Eventually, when I got it all straightened out the thing would do an Olympic size swimming pool in 2 1/2 seconds. It blew out four different driveshafts to the point where it sits on its stand on the shelf because it was so much fun. There’s a few eventually in there because it took about two weeks of an hour a day messing with it to get the thing to work. You want more power? It’s gonna take a little tooling.

with 4 seperate motors and esc's you could have employed differential throttle/steering right ?

Could you build a boat with the propellers on the front like a front wheel drive car... I'm curious how that would work out propellers are always on the back

Love your channel, have you looked into the wildwing vertical sails? I'd watch the heck out of you experimenting with them!

Would it make sense to hydrofoil that thing.. Only in the front though, so it can glide much more smoothly through the water, instead of having to deal with the ≈1Hz oszilation; which not only has a high risk of suddenly kiting (19:10 when you are going too fast and the wind comes straight from the front gets trapped , goes under the boat will quite literally turns into a sail itsself. 😁

Found a propeler that is called PVBD that has a secund propeler where the propeler vortex wold be created. Instead of a cone at the end, it has a built in propeler with channels from the propeler to lead the vortex water through a propeler case to brake up the vortex. Some submarines are using it to lower the sound and get more efficient pawer use at lower engen speed.

How did you arrive at the calculated scale speed of *7400 mph?* I am guessing you just multiplied the real speed with the scale of the vessel. You need to *divide the real speed of the model by the square root of the scale.* The scale looks to be close to 1:200, of which the square root is 0,0707. Let's say your carrier was doing 10 knots of real speed. The scale speed would be calculated thus: 10/0,0707 = 141,42. *141,42 knots* would be the *scale speed* of your model aircraft carrier. Look at how the vessel is traveling on the water. *Does it look like it is going over 10 times the speed of sound?* No. 1:10 scale RC cars going 25 mph are advertised to have a scale speed of 250 mph. In reality the scale speed is only 80 mph. I have a way overpowered 1:20 model of a Chris Craft cabin cruiser. It has a measured real life speed of 13,9 knots. If I just multiplied the scale and real speed, it would be going at 278 knots of scale speed. Comparing videos of real life boats traveling at those speeds it did not look like it. So I had to do some research on the subject and found out the valid way of calculating scale speed. The scale speed was "only" 62 knots, still over twice the speed of a real Chris Craft cabin cruiser. Sorry to be a spoilsport, but you need to do your homework. 7400 mph looks cool, though. Keep it up, I enjoy your content!

The length of a displacement hull has a theoretical speed limit that can be calculated. The longer the better. This applies to full sized ships. The model became a planing hull.

It you say 'mach XY' for a ship, is it based on the speed of sound in the air or in the water?
@rafasgarally39757 ай бұрын
A Navy chopper pilot, once told me, in the 60s, he was lowering a pilot on to the deck, he looked to see what the chopper speed was and said it was 65 knots. That is the relative speed needed to keep up with the carrier to place the pilot onboard safely.

Just FYI when lipo cells drop below around 3 volts internal cell damage begins to occur. There's no way to test for this damage and no way to fix it. It can result in rapid catastrophic failure of the battery at any time after that damage occurs without warning.

very nice vid, and nice job on the mods. so far the fastest real life carrier has been CVN 65. her hull design was different from other carriers. she was ran as fast on her last speed run as her first. she was also the fastest shooter.

i was stationed on three aircraft carriers and can attest that our cruising speed is 35mph, but our full speed is well above that.

Fun video. Do you know what Reynolds number is? Look it up. That is how you must scale speed in a fluid, not by the scale size of the boat. Still a fun thing to watch.

In physical hydraulic modelling, the Froude number is used for scaling. I believe it is the same for ship building.
@oldguy405710 ай бұрын
But they used neither; jusst scaled speed by length, which is totally wrong.

They mentioned something on the battleship new jersey channel about how those battleships have 4 on the outboard and 5 bladed propellers on the inboard. Something about speed vs power and getting water over the rudders.
