@@tbonemc2118 you might be forgetting the weight of what the boat is carrying. Sort of like the toy people on the paperplate at the beginning of this video. Without them the plate would be unsinkable but with them it went to the bottom. Stay safe.
A GOOD IDEA! A great way to recycle plastic into something permanent and useful...as well as saving trees. Very best wishes from your neighbours...Australia.
Brilliant engineering, beautiful design, bear in mind that it is foolish to call a boat "unsinkable", not because of superstition but because anything can be broken, even HDPE which works very well, but only within certain temperature ranges.
Salute! Bringing a simple idea and scaling it up with incredible resourcefulness. I am truly inpressed by the technology used and the investment made to realise its full potential. Truly amazing.
Add solar power, make the floats narrower and taller, then give it eletric engines, and youve got something the family can use to fish with, without refueling. I love how the seats turned out in the inner hull.
Was it UV treated? Nice idea, especially if the plastic is recycled. Also solar panels and electric motors, with the batteries inside the main float (have the end removable), for ballast.
absolutely awesome! i agree filling with a foam would truly make them unsinkable. the current design is a massive step up from a fiberglass boat but you'd only need two holes worn or poked into the pontoon for it to start filling. given the amount of wear this boat would likely see, it would happen eventually. but even then your looking at years of good use and patching them really well is certainly possible to.
Really? You believe trees are being saved by the chemical and petroleum industries that pollute our air, water and food supplies with an unsustainable, one time use material which takes centuries to return to it's elemental form. You are dangerously stupid.
@@UguysRnuts yes it may saved if we use that pipe instead of using wood to make a boat..industries are everywhere and its part of growing country to have a lot of industries.what i mean is to minimize cutting trees in there place to make their boat. that step may not totally can clean or stopped polluted air but it may help to stomped plodding ...did you think of that bright man hahhaahahahaha
Wood is a far more environmentally sustainable build product. It is also renewable by planting trees. Petroleum products, plastics, are not an improvement. They should be used with caution.
Great concept. The idea presents a shallow draft boat, very boyant, capable of handling rough water, and very repairable. If these pontoons were sold to custom order, it would be practical to build a catamaran pontoon boat for a very affordable price.
I am just curious how stable a pontoon boat is in rough water. This is an interesting video on how to solve a problem. Here in Mexico they use a boat called a panga. The guy that spent multiple months adrift in the Pacific Ocean was in one and his major worry was never sinking only getting enough drinking water.
Fantastic video I hope there’s some way to implement the use of recycled plastics? Awesome designs very simple and practical. We spent a lot of time sailing around Lombok and the islands in the south are some of our favourite. Indonesia is a beautiful country!
great idea and design! I would say you should try using 2 pvc pontoons as the main part of the boat.. it would float higher above the water and the outboard motors would propel the boat easier and with less wake/splashing like the splashing seen at 5:05..
I have been wondering, for decades, why all boats aren't made this way. I started a small-scale project using recycled bottles but was labelled a "crackpot." Thank you for realising that dream. God bless you!
Your idea is great, but if you build a platform on top of the tubular pipe like hulls, the weight of the platform forces them beneath the water. Making it a much smoother ride, because these hulls ride beneath the water like a torpedo, instead of on top of the water which is rough. You would have to place the outboards on the stilts or vertical beams that hold up the platform. This type of design is called a SWATH small waterline area twin hull. This is the future of all boating being, fishing, sailboats, ships & even ferries boats.
RUclips recommended your video, because of my interest in HDPE. Very nice design showing thoughtfulness for the uses it might have. Good luck with your endeavor.
A very nice solution to the problems you mentioned both with wooden and fiberglass boats. One point that the video did not answer was how does the boat handle turbulent waters and storm conditions? Often multihull boats are more stable capsized than upright, so it would be interesting to check that failure mode to see what can be done in the design to reduce the likelihood of a capsize.
I am glad you mentioned the splashing, since this design will not be very suitable for rough ocean conditions. You were lucky to have a smooth first journey. The bow needs to be higher and also the shape of the hull needs to be curved upwards like a banana, with a straight pipe design it is not possible to achieve good rough weather capabilities. But the idea is good 👍⚓
great! However wouldn't have been more appropriate to send the boat out into rough seas to test its purported un-sinkability? I mean, that's the argument you make at the very beginning with the plate test. Also, with respect to the issue of adding more micro-plastic to the ocean, to what degree does this material break down over time? Have you thoroughly tested(considered) that aspect?
How stable is the material with UV (sunlight) damage? Also how long does it last if the bottom part is scraped on a sea shore where there is no proper harbour and the bottom is scratched by dead coral/rocks. Great idea for boats, but I would not put HDPE plastic and 'environmentally friendly' in the same sentence, sorry!
I suggest you modify the damp that seals the end ofthe tube so that it produces a more hydrodynamic form to improve fuel efficiency. Also, why not seal the stern (back) of the tubes with a simple clamp seal ?
I really enjoyed watching this experiment - some excellent progression of taking the ideas and putting them into practice - thank you for sharing this video
your jukung may be tough to overturn; but this one 7:14 catamaran has very high risk to overturn especially when it carries so many passengers. becareful.
I hope the pontoons consist of more than one compartment. Else, if there was a collision or leak the whole pontoon will fill with water and the boat sink or topple over. Is there any way to get water out of the pontoons?
Now we can collect the island full Plastics that roams and floats around the earths waters and turn it into like of that remarkable boat from indonesia🙏
Excellent construction, long life expectancy, presumably Maintenance free too, if small hole used you can use expanding foam in a can, to retro fill foam in to. Main buoyancy chambers, foam with micro bubbles offer more unsinkability, well done guys very well thought out, and very well presented.... Thom in Scotland.
Looks like semi displacement hull shapes? It may be possible to take more advantage of benefits of hydrodynamic design to improve efficiency at design cruise speed. What is the difference in material density compared to standard fiberglass layup?
The black version is very good 100 years + probably we dont know it’s that good. it off gases so little under uv light it’s hard to measure and purity has a huge margin of error effect.
The trimaran design have been in use in the Philippines since ancient times, at present they used bamboos, marine plywood and 14hp gasoline or deisel engines
How much do the pontoons weigh per meter or foot? Fantastic idea here in the United States we have aluminum pontoons, but the plastic would work perfect in the Philippines is what I’m thinking.
This is not harsh sea at all but It is true that this catamaran style boats are good for harsh seas. You should film the same boat in 3 meter waves... Then it proves these designs are unsinkable
@Roger Rarebit -- From the article in Britannica: "The idea that the ship was unsinkable was advanced by newspaper and magazine articles as well as advertisement materials from the shipping company." That was going on before the ship left for NYC. Nevertheless, you are correct that the ship's builder did not tout their creation as unsinkable.
how is this unsinkable? if the fused ends open which they will do as some stage as the pipe ages they will sink like a stone. Likewise if the pipe gets a hole in it from striking some underwater object... sinks...
I think it’s great but how does it compare in weigh to a similar boat? I’m just wondering not criticising. Is there a pressure valve refill valve in the pontoons to allow for hot cold expansion which could cause small fractures or is there enough give in the plastic to accommodate ? Cheers and well done
Expansion and contraction and air pressure is insignificant as the pipe is designed to operate at full working pressure for years and none of that capacity is being used in this design. The danger would be that the pontoons have sufficient wall thickness so that the walls don't flex while the boat is planning. Just like steel, HDPE will fatigue fracture if it is bent back and forth long enough.
congrats pa, mantabs. sendainya di bawah hull nya di beri semacam sirip atau di buat lancip mungkin bisa lebih stabil, atau diberi pemberat mungkin supaya gravitasi nya tetap dibawah. dan gejala roling nya bisa di minimalisir.. kereennn kayanya lebih cocok untuk sungai2.
Outstanding. Men building tools to provide for family and neighbors. Great stuff. Love to see a Sail powered Catamaran looks like you already have most of the parts.
I love that design I guess you could put some sort of platform down to where you could walk out side floats. How well would those boats do in rough water?
Brilliant. My only concern would be if a pontoon would be damaged. Would it be prudent then to have separate chambers (perhaps 3 or 4) in the event of a puncture? This is the case with inflatable RFDs. Semoga success Pak.
Are you sure they are unsinkable? Did you make them UV resistant to prevent the suns rays from making the plastic brittle or crumbly and fill them with flotation foam just i case they get a hole in them? they are neat, thanks for showing that to everyone.
HDPE seems to be an excellent material for boat building, be it from pipes or from sheets. It has to be treated to be UV resistant. The concept presented here is very interesting; it looks easy and simple to realize, ... provided that you have the machines !! Having said that, in case of collision against a reef, the hull can break, ... and the boat is not unsinkable any more !!!
flowing on water is one thing. but i suggest you do a crash test , see if the pipe ever hit something and have a crack, still be flowing ? this is for safety concern.
so how they deal with the fact hdpe becomes very brittle after a time of exposure to sun and the elements? that boat would be breaking apart in 2 years.
Wow really nice! I live in Clearwater Florida on the water. Unfortunately tides go from 4 or 5 feet to zero. This type of boat would be perfect. I wonder if they sell in Florida? If their was only a process to convert water bottles to build boats?
The plastic pipe floats no problem but you add engines and all the other items in a boat I would want the tubes filled with flotation stuff. Closed cell or styrofoam what ever is the least expensive. I know these will last years but sun damages plastic over time so what is the plan when a boat needs to be recycled?
A great idea. Perhaps it is your long term plan, why didn't you use some of the hdpe that is polluting just about every water way on the planet instead using new hdpe pellets
@@AquatecIndonesia agreed, but even recycling a small percentage in the mix would help reduce some of the stuff fouling the oceans that both our countries rely on
@@georgesmith4509 Agreed, thank you. So far we use leftover HDPE from our production line. If we can find high quality recycled HDPE, we will add it into the mix.
Great start in idea. But, the inside of the closed in pipe needs to be filled with closed cell foam, then truly it will be unsinkable.
Not true. Even if pontoons were holed it would never sink because the specific gravity of HDPE is lighter than water.
@@tbonemc2118 no it’s not
@@shantytownshipwright7334 Oh yes it is. An open ended pipe will float in water. .94 to .96 to be exact.

That sounds like my next boat. Shade cover over the whole boat with solar panels. It won't be fast but neither is my sailing yacht.
Great thoughts. Future is going to be fun despite sea levels rising.
Human can thrive with vertical farming and rain water harvesting.
Was it UV treated? Nice idea, especially if the plastic is recycled. Also solar panels and electric motors, with the batteries inside the main float (have the end removable), for ballast.

Crimp sealing the tube ends is brilliant in its simplicity. Adding foam in the tubes would create a truly unsinkable boat.
that would add unnecessary add cost as air is buoyant enough.
