  • @martin_mue
    @martin_mue Год назад +499

    For concrete to cure to its maximal strength you need to make sure that the concrete stays wet for a few days. That is especially an issue with such thin parts as they dry out quickly. The reason is that the chemical reaction (hydration) needs water to work. If the concrete dries out, calcification starts and that creates just weak chalk.

      Yes the longer it cures the stronger it gets but if they used a plasticizer and a fiber glass filler which speeds up the curing process with the addition of additional strength then there shouldn’t be an issue with it cracking. Also the way they got it out of the mold was awful. It would be better to drill a hole in the mold and shoot compressed air into it to have it release

      That’s not quite the story, there were two harbors made, A and B for American and British. Those harbors utilized caissons called “Phoenixes” which were giant concrete tubs, pump out the water and they float, fill with water and you have a breakwater or mole for offloading ships. Some of these caissons are still around today as they’re quite robust but they were designed to be easy to sink in place.

    Fun Fact:
    During WW2, German engineers were tasked with finding a way to patrol and protect waterways and river ports from Allied attacks. One way in which this was done was to take a concrete barge pontoon, add a wooden deck, engines, and a control hut. Then, on each corner, quad 20mm anti-aircraft turrets were placed, and supplied with a mixture of explosive and armor piercing ammunition. This proved a very slow but fairly menacing craft.

    It's still a Portland cement based product so flexible and light is relative...

    Instead of mesh try chopped fiberglass. Typically it's just bits of around 10mm long fiberglass strands. They get mixed into the concrete for pours that need to be incredibly strong, sometimes as a complete replacement for rebar. Saves time/$ on building rebar cages, and in some ways it is even stronger since the strands are mixed in uniformly instead of being basically one layer. Plus nothing for rust to attack!
    Not sure what mix you used here (looks like gray Portland cement + sand, maybe a 2:1 ratio?), but there are much stronger mixes out there. Something like 1:1:2:1 of _Gray Portland Cement + White Portland Cement + sand + Fiberglass_ should give much better results. Do give your local concrete mixing plant a call before building the full-scale boat though, they would be able to help you way more as far as mixes/additives go. There are many recipes out there and the most common one is only 3000 PSI (takes 3000 lbs to crush a 1x1x1" cube), but they go to 6000 and maybe even higher.
    And lastly, let the thing set for a while. Technically concrete is strongest after about a month, but it should not even be de-moulded sooner than about 2 days for something this thin.

It ended up bending over 4" with over 700lbs applied to the blade before it broke leading to a PSI rating of 19,500 LBS, e.g. sufficient to sink into the the bottom of the Marianas Trench without imploding.

    Hi peter ..I've had some experience in building concrete models ..I studied architectural design under a ship's architect named Richard serving ..about 50 years ago.... for the purpose of model building we used plaster cast material.. like the doctors used to use for broken arms ..this way we kept the weight down and could control the thickness of the hull .. it was already reinforced with a cotton cheese cloth .. then to seal it we used fiberglass resin ..of course nowadays I'd probably use a really good epoxy.. believe it or not .. this type of hull worked extremely well and was very forgiving ,sandable and fairly lightweight.. I also learned plank & frame building at the time .. I think I was around 6 or 7 wen I took those classes and have enjoyed model boating and rc ever since .. I hope that tid bit helps ..I think you'd be surprised.. another not to well known material that was nearly used to build an aircraft carrier was a mixture of water and sawdust that was frozen into a solid ..that was called piecrete.. that stuff is amazing..it held up extremely well to all kinds of artillery and gunfire .. and of course it didn't sink ..being ice ..look it up ..just for kicks

    I work making concrete sculptures using fiberglass molds and there are a couple things special about the concrete mixtures we use as well as how me pour them. First off as the mixture goes. It is important to use some sort of Plasticizer in combination to gain strength and flexibility in the concrete. Second the concrete should be thicker in a uniform sense….so a two part mold would be a better idea. If it is a quarter-half in thick all the way around you will certainly have less issues with it shattering.

  • @ZeroSuitSamo
    @ZeroSuitSamo Год назад +1

    FYI the mesh will definitely still give the boat support, but it's not really doing the same thing as rebar. At least not how I understand it's use in things like bridges. The rebar is stretched, the concrete poured and cured, and then the tension released. Concrete is incredibly strong in compression, but very weak in tension. So by doing this the rebar is constantly keeping the concrete in compression, even on the underside of an arched bridge that is flexing from the weight of cars passing over.

  • @C_Melvyn_James
    @C_Melvyn_James Год назад

    You can use additives to give concrete some amount of elasticity. eg; You can use a small amount of used motor oil to keep it from cracking while it cures, etc, etc. Looks to me like you need to plaster in some wire framing and mix some coarse sand or screenings as an agregate. I would also think about scaling up the size a bit based on the minimum thickness you're going to want. At your current scale, the concrete doesn't look like it has any chance of being strong enough to stay together well. Metal filings will strengthen the mix also but will make it rust. You may need to anodize the metal parts to keep them from rusting away. Hmmm.Ground up plastic? Ground up rubber? Ground up vinyl? Cotton fibre? I also wonder what a portland and epoxy mix would do... (maybe start a fire! LOL)
    Electrical rust proofing systems that most marine vehicles require to keep from rusting away:
    If a wooden boat uses electrical systems on board, it requires zinc anodes or else the nails in the wood will rust very quickly and the boat will fall apart prematurely. Bet you didn't know that! I'm no expert on it but you really should look it up. Non-ferrous alloys would prolly be your best bet as far as structure for the concrete. And just so you know, stainless is NOT a non-ferrous metal.
    P.S.
    Most of the concrete with any thickness should be at the belly of the boat so it sits well on it's draw line. (the water line) You want a stable water line so it's not flying all over the place. I might even cement a stabilizer in place. A pump in case of a leak or swamping is also a thought.
    Also you can color your concrete with dye or tempura powder... I was a fisherman in a past life...

    There are still some floating in my town's harbor as a breakwater, in Canada.

    My neighbor used to make super thin concrete countertops and used glass fibers...basically chopped fiberglass to as aggregate to achieve low profile strength.

    For something this thick you'd want to probably use something like "ferro-lite" (which has different kinds of fibers in it, like basalt, or steel wool). Ferro-cement boats only really come into their own with a hull thickness of about 1/2" or thicker, i.e. about 7 lbs/ft^2 which limits their minimum size to around 35', but above that, there's really nothing better for rigidity, impact resistance, low maintenance, economy, and believe it or not, lightness.

    Next 4th of July special exploding concrete boats just an idea kind of liked seeing that big explosion at the beginning. As always though a ton of fun to watch your videos.

    Idea: Speedrun building a plane. Doesn’t matter what type, just build one as fast as possible.

    You're looking at this all wrong: You very nearly made the world's fastest submarine.

    I’m going to guess the mass will make it less jittery at speed. I found this true with rc cubs -heavier flew with more stability

    I would have gone with a fibre reinforced concrete, then it could flex too. a fun idea though.

  • @AstroInfinitum

    Have you made an RC submarine capable of firing bottlerockets via the torp-tubes? That would be cool. The cement boats were an interesting idea but I think they would work even better with “styrofoam concrete”. It would have increased buoyancy as well as an overall lighter total weight.

  • @connorj2775
    @connorj2775 Год назад +1

    I’m sure many have said it. Use some glass fiber reinforced concrete with sun 1/4” aggregate. You might just want to get some sand, cement, and shredded fiber and mix it yourself.

    Could use carb clean or even something a little less noxious to melt the styro out of the shell.

    You can replace up to 20% of your water w/ Latex (paint) or Acrylic (cement bonding agent) in cement, and it will make it less water permeable and lend it a tiny amount of tensile stremf.

    You should do a boat out of pykrete (ice and sawdust). It sounds crazy but there were actual plans in ww2 to make an aircraft carrier out of the stuff

  • @davidkohler7454
    @davidkohler7454 Год назад

    We use polymers and fibers to strengthen thin concrete. I'm sure that would make your boat lighter and stronger. Peter can make anything fly..And now anything float..

  • @drewharrison6433

    If you make a full size boat, please hire someone who knows concrete molding. While it'd be funny to watch you sink, I don't want anyone to get hurt...

    when I was growing up in the early 60's in seaside heights NJ there were several concrete row boats, they used chicken wire inside the concrete as reinforcement. they didnt last long for what ever reason
