This project is more of an experiment in Galvanic cells and trying to run an RC boat off of sea water! It does work but really sucks for anything more than the simple toy you see here! (note the solar cell is only driving the RC control and servo) it does not influence the motor of the boat! the seawater battery is not stable enough to run your typical rc receiver so I did not use it. Its only job is to power the ship!

Ok
LOOKS LIKE I'M ABOUT TO BREAK THE LAW
To be fair the ship could not go forever BC the electrodes would erode (also they would run out of sea one day if it was a closed system)

As a very old engineer nearing 85 years old, I am amazed at what one can do with the sophisticated blocks that are available these days for one to tinker with. In my days it was not like that and we had to build the engineering block ourselves in the case of radio, I had to design and build the Tx and Rx down to transistor-level including winding our own motors and even making our own batteries. Engineering which I followed was not only tinkering with assembling and operating ready-made units, but one had to learn about the characteristics of different materials, do a lot of calculations hence one needed a good background in mathematics and we who took up electronics we had to learn and test all there was to learn in analog and digital and switched electronics to achieve all the functions including memories and processes in microprocessors.
At 6:08 this young man said,
" I went to school for a course in aviation, but really did not quite finish that, for I really wanted to switch majors......so I did try an engineering degree, I did not fare so well in the super formal engineering settings so I left believing in more self-education from various sources such as RUclips, because I wanted to understand problem-solving through tinkering rather than listening to
lectures ...... It does not matter how you learn as long as you have a good idea of what is going on."
The problem with many people these days is that they love to be the proud owners of what they buy as long as one can afford it to live with that mentality, but there is much deeper knowledge than one can ache3ve by just tinkering with assembling units bought off the shelf. Going back to 1950 we used valves to make out Rx and Tx and by 1960 we were beginning to change over to transistors.
After learning all about transistor circuits I decided to build my own eight-channel pulse with modulated Tx and the complementary receiver with proportional control. By then my mathematics was up to the level of understanding Maxwell's equations and solving to be able to design antennas and waveguides and their detailed performance. including gun diodes at their earlier stage.
* The modulation stage of my transmitter was a set of eight variable pulsed followed by a synchronizing pulse fed to control the 35 Megahertz power oscillator radiating about half a watt. All that had to be tuned to a center-tapped antenna matched accordingly.
* The receiver was a superheterodyne unit that i had to design from scratch where with the local oscillator the intermediate frequency was handled by a tuned amplifier and after demodulating the pulse train one needed to pick up the synchronizing pulse and with it set a counter to zero. Then the following pulses would step up the ripple counter where the output pulse on each " channel output" would remain for the duration of the pulse which was a duration of 0.5 to 1.5 milliseconds. The frame rate I used was about 30 frames per second.
Our enjoyment was not in just assembling complex units and operating them, but designing and making and tuning an eight-channel proportional control Tx and Rx must have taken me about three months at least. When I finished that I remember building a submarine made out of oil gallon tin containers and that also required calculations rather than trial and error or tinkering with off-the-shelf units.
We lived through WW2 and my three brothers and I did fill in our time with formal engineering education at a university and the mathematical engineering contents were high which enabled us to handle very complex state control systems and their stability. At the university, we were the first to design and deposit resistances and capacitors on glass substrates leading the way in microelectronics. To be honest my heart sinks when the people seen in this video use Tx Rx and servos and such sophisticated electronics on disposal throw way units. If only rather than tinkering with them they would appreciate the level of intelligence that goes on to understand the intelligent circuits that are enclosed within them. Even designing and building a bootstrap circuit used to make us very happy and as we could not afford to do what young people do in this video we used to dismantle one circuit and use the capacitors and transistors and resistors in another circuits, we did not mind the inductors as we designed and wounded them according to (N^2)/S, One of the most difficult circuits we designed at around 1955, was the counter circuit which detected the synch pulse and then counted the number of pulses to decode each channel. These electronic circuits we later used to design the arithmetic logic units in microprocessors.
Those young people who wish to take up engineering must be able to persevere beyond tinkering with off the self bought units and they need to be patient to build up a solid background in mathematics and now computer programming using engineering-oriented software. One cannot learn the highest grade of engineering by tinkering with the available devices as that is more of a technician level and not an engineering level. Any engineering direction needs a high amount of mathematical knowledge to be able to appreciate the many higher aspects that tinkering and assembling units bought off the shelf gives the operator a good thrill but that is not what one calls engineering. Engineering does not need the sensationalism that normally accompanies videos on RUclips.
Here is one aspect of the mathematical contents in engineering. ruclips.net/video/r6sGWTCMz2k/видео.html.
Laplace functions and Maxell's equations and Navier Stoke equations are also beautiful mathematical tinkering that needs perseverance and a higher effort to follow........ ruclips.net/video/-LsXjVfucHU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/g-5bi7dxHP4/видео.html

How did you get that old
PETER I JUST HAD A GREAT IDEA! MAKE A POP POP BOAT!
remotecontrolkid One that goes rapidly fast 😂
Those are so nostalgic
Yeah..like the fastest one
Holy shit, throw back to bath time when I was 4 or 5
I wonder if you could supercharge it? It works with steam right, so how about having, say, six coils powered by something big like a blowtorch...
Instead of adding more rods for surface area next time drill holes in them. Reduce weight at the same time.
This is a much smarter solution.
or make it into the structure of activated carbon, 1 gram of it has surface area of a football field. (roughly)
If the boats too light then it'll be unstable but I see where your going
Lol it will run out quicker :)
@@olsirmonkey exactly what I was thinking. Watch any boat without most of the weight in the bottom and it’ll be tossed side to side
Hey Peter, just wanted to say I’ve really enjoyed watching you progress with all that you’ve done! I myself struggle with a school setting. With that said I’ve never let schooling get in the way of education. It’s nice getting to hear more of your story and even to see your folks get into the vlogs too! Safe travels man! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for us!
Peace- ABSnyderRC
Yeep
There isn't school now, you are free

I built a scaled up one of these with normal RC parts and had an absolute blast with it in the pacific northwest, thank you for sharing the design on Thingiverse.
I'm not even a model/RC enthusiast but I love watching these videos because it's awesome seeing people do things they are experts at, and presenting it in a way that my little brain can comprehend
0:49 "These make about 1VOLT OF CURRENT" RIP PHYSICS!😂
ur liek a piece of weathered plastic
Alessandro Volta is dying in his coffin after he saw this :p

and its 300miliampshour of voltage 🤣
Naaaa
I love how you have to use a time-lapse to show that It actually moved
Mum needs to be in every video!!!! Hilarious
Yes! Awesome video and I'm really glad you're getting your own sponsors. You really should get more money for all your work
I'm glad they sponsored too! I didin't even know about the site and I'm glad the sponsored content is something relatable as well! (plus I get to eat for the next month now hahaha.
So happy to see you filmed in my country
One of the most under rated youtubers! Can’t wait for a million
5:16 that is the most adorable thing I have ever seen
I know right its so cuteeee
Make an aircraft carrier like the real nuclear powered that doesn't need to be re-fueled.
5billion lemons later
Against the law and dangerous.
@@tomatosoupwoo nuclear power is safe in the right hands
@@cardboardtruck1009 the right hands do whops and then it's free cancer for everyone forever.
@@daniil6089 yeah because coal, which is responsible for multiple orders of magnitude more radioactive waste each year, is so much better right?
Impressive you got the waterline so accurate on model. well done. Also, Your mum seems great fun.
YES! i freaking love Monody! i enjoy your weird projects. cheers Peter!
I know your parents are very proud of your, Peter. You make them very happy. I hope you never do drugs or alcohol. Stay clean and stay smart. You will go far!
@7:45 That's exactly how they put real ships in water.
Yep. They look up the biggest woman in the world, with colossal strength and tell her to chuck it in
Yea but it’s not that far off, they just haphazardly slide the boat into the water lmao
Seems about right
That's how the iceberg did it, I don't see the problem
4:37 its not powered by salt water. Its powered by PeterScripol's greatness!
Put iNav in it and send it to another country
That would actually be awesome. Somehow make it able to withstand a lot more, and have it navigate itself to somewhere and track it with a gps
Wouldn't that be really hard with a model boat since it takes a lot of Mass to make something Blue Water capable?
Make it an enclosed sort of submarine design, so it can get tossed around a bunch but stays afloat. However, the currents would move faster than the boat could so I doubt it would ever reach its destination.
Maybe a inland water way with it sending back gps blip every minute so we can track it ?

Hi Peter . WOW ! You are super smart & talented . Love how you used computer design, electronics & artistic skills to create a really dope RC boat . Love your vlogs . Mark (Toronto) 💙😀👍
If they used this concept to power cargo ships, that would be pure green energy from an endless, renewable resource. I love all of your videos
It's so happy to see you visited my country. There are kids out there who make RC planes like you. Hope you can share your knowledge with them when you visit next time. Keep up the good work Peter 👏
Can you please build a steam boat I would like to see that. And if it is possible make it powered by the wheel in the back
YES!
What a great idea
You can make one. If you need help there are lots of examples. Be creative and dare to fail and try again.
No he do what he want
Awesome to see this stuff being built into a boat, engineering and construction at its finest.
Please Upload to Thingiverse so I can have 2 unfinished boats ;) Love your work!
"I didn't fare well in the usual education setting..." so I BUILT MY OWN PERSONAL PLANE OUT OF HOBBY MATERIALS AND SPARE PARTS.
Just knowing that is awesome. Keep it up
1:42 you have good taste in music, electro swing is one of my favorite genres
Glad you tested it in Sri Lanka! Hope you enjoyed the holiday.
Dude make a boat out of food with William osman
**furiously texts him**
powered by saltwater so it doesn't burn down
Lol ya they could tie those underwater propellers to him
Peter are you actually going to make this with William??
Yes do. That
hey peter, I am A Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering student.Your video made me feel bit satisfied of the concepts since i've been thinking of this concept a long long time ago before i saw this video rn... Due to this, I can say that this concept really works and I am planning to improve the Efficiency of this Concept...Hoping for your Collaborations someday whenever there is a specific questions I needed how you work on this prototype.
Boaty McBoat Face.
I knew I forgot to name the boat... oh well I'll give the next ship that name hahahaha

I gotta say, that speech about your studies during the sponsored segment was really cool and inspiring. It didn't feel at all forced with the topic of the video. I know this video is old, but congrats on that! And amazing project as always!
You should have used rectangular probes instead of cylindrical shaped ones.
Usually it's the surface area and not the volume that matters.
In theory he should have just used plates, gives the maximum surface area to volume ratio and much cheaper. This is the reason why people use plates for electrolysis
XenoShade8 should have used carbon and magnesium powder in bags. Stupid amounts of surface area
hahaha! great idea in theory but the idea of this is to make a battery using an electrolyte and two materials being an anode and cathode. This idea stems from the absorption and releasing of electrons. Haven't had a chem class in about 2 years but the idea is the anode (positively charged material) releases electrons and creates anions from the electrolyte and the cathode gains those electrons that the anode lost and becomes the cation. The problem with this in real world is that if you use a powder, there wont be proper conduction between the particles of the graphite and magnesium thus making the powder basically useless. That is why plates are preferred, and actually, not just plates, but commercial units use very scorn or scratched plates since it increases surface area.
XenoShade8 the ions and the electrons that you are speaking of is already in the satl water. What a battery does is move those ions from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. The cathodes and anodes doesn't produce electrons.
There's only one way to find out if using powder works - try it out.
Great little project. As a Naval Architect and an amateur tinkerer myself I'm quite happy with the concept. Of course, would not work on a commercial scale due to motion resistance rate according to displacement and power generated versus area. And if anyone thought as I did, to generate HHO from sea water.....please do not. It liberates chloride gas into the atmosphere, destroying the ozone layer. Still fancy project.
I was WONDERING what the solar panel was for
Remote control?
+Xi Steven,no its not for remote control,but idk what it is for.
to power rudders or some crap that works with only electricity
I think its for d RC.

Peter you are so briliant! I really admire your creations! I am one of your fans.
IS THAT HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK. I've been using _Catholic_ protection to prevent hull corrosion. No wonder the priest was so confused when I asked him if the sacrament was zinc-fortified.
Lmfao golden comment
Holy cow Peter! I always thought you had a aeronautical engineering degree. Just goes to show you can learn from making. Keep up the great work.
So did I. this dude gets himself airborne with home made aeroplanes without a degree. Puts everything about formal education into perspective.
Hell yea wheels and cheese! Should make those fly.

You know what would be really cool, A model submarine. and like a real nice one able to dive at least like a 100ft
Radio control is limited to a couple of metres in fresh water.
Yea but if you spend enough money you can

CAD, 3d printing, electric swing: HELL YEAH!
OMG, THANK YOU!!!! 😁😁😁😂🤣
I've been thinking about how to do something like this for over a year now. Ever since I saw some crazy dude in Mexico make a floating island of plastic trash powered by salt water I've been wondering how to apply that information into exactly what you did! So thank you for that. Seriously, really cool video. Also your mom is funny, include her in next "launch", lol. That was great. Power on.
I love it how most of the major RUclips engineers dropped out of school. It’s neat
The shot of the traffic at 4:47 actually triggered some road-rage for me, that little car totally cut off that bus
Awesome video! Very clever, always learning something, you should start your videos like Bardwell, " I'm Peter Sripol and your gonna learn something today." 😂. Jk, that's probably copyrighted 😂
You are crazy in such a good way. Awesome project and editing!
Make a fusion reactor (yes it's legal)
Meezala Mazala he needs to build a nuclear powered miniquad!
Fusion reactors don't explode, that's why it's legal
People haven't even figured out that yet
Well nice to see a now 168 yrs old idea working! In 1852 Mr. Clemens Gerke from Hamburg Germany suggested exactly this idea as new method of marine propulsion. But he never got his boat running. But he used salt water batteries for a 50 km long telegraph line back then! BTW: Mr. Gerke was the "inventor" of the standard morse code, we still know today!
Haha!
"this whole project is a scam lol (the salt is not powering the boat)"
Fantastic
Wow, Peter!
You’re almost half way to 1 million Subscribers.
Dood plz make an rc submarine (like this comment if you agree )
mom would still throw a submarine
As always, great video. Thanks
make a boat like in the movie ponyo on the cliff where they had a candle powered boiler push a boat!
This is one of the best educational/entertaining videos ive ever seen
There aren’t 3D files for this ship.........? Are there?
In a few days, not sure if people want them yet!
Hey Peter
i want them :)
oops sent twice
I want iit!!
7:49 your mom sounds like she is singing with the music lol!
Sorry I mean 7:46
Well this one is better 7:43
8:10 to 8:30 without the music is hilarious😂
Great build! How about you stick metal strips under the boat and used the ocean as a electrolyte? You could have multiple strips for higher voltage and current (with SxPx configuration), the weight should be lower etc.
8:23 it has to be going at least 75mph😂
love the builds, and the creativity, especially the airplanes. :)
Plz do more airplane projects..
I was suprised by something you said but I probably shouldn't have been. Ive spent considerable time working in many manufacturing type environments with all involved from engineering to management to bean counters and this marriage is often one thing thats lost. Young engineers for the most part have no clue what it takes to solve a problem without wasting money and time. Most try to impress with fancy gadgets to solve a problem that a popsicle stick will fix. If they could leave thier ego and little feelings at home every day they would be partly home free but the engineers that keep quiet, and learn and listen and most of all never put more parts or complexity into something than must be there will do better than most. Giving excuses to a boss has never stricken me as an option but asking what they want and getting them there more often than not will ensure a persons value. You, in my opinion would be and will be a good asset to whomever you work for or with. You have my respect and Im not scared to try anything.
How about a Pop Rocks Propulsion boat? 🤔
Or acid+baking soda, could be easier to control accurately as a gas generator
I really like watching your videos somewhere good summer or not but that's the way things go in life sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not keep up the good work I enjoy watching the videos and sharing them you're a really good young man and you have a very nice family.

REAL SHIT
Salt water boat
*ASCENDED*
I think you might have solved the power crisis in ocean liners! You sir are a genius
10:00 wait im confused, is it real or just a joke?
Yeah, it's real. But the salt water is not powering the boat. Instead the power is generated as ions are released from the anode into the liquid. As the ions are positively charged, the anode will be left with a negative charge (surplus of electrons), which then travel across the wire to the cathode. This flow of electrons is current. The salt water is just the medium for the travel of the ions and the power is generated as the ions are released from the anode which will slowly be consumed.
Nice outro dude most creative I've seen so far
Build a RC aircraft carrier and a carrier capable plane!
Kommenttimyrsky That has been done already.
Check out FliteTest. Peter built one on there.
Or he can make something similar to USS Wasp and launch/recover drones
Could the helicarrier on flite test have planes land on it? I need T check
Ok I re-watched the flite test helicarrier video, and all the landings were really scetchy. They stopped the plane by crashing into the conning tower and deck, you could say that it was not a proper landing, but both carrier and plane remained intact so its close enough
Good going Peter, Nice work👍
Couldn't this idea be realised in a much larger scale as well?
Its time for hunt for red october
oh man i am a big fan of you and now you were in my country, sri lanka , that's nice.
It is not powered by the water though. It is just an electrolyte...
Electrolytes, it’s what boats crave.
