I own property which surrounds a lake. It's a salmon spawning lake. It's got invasive Northern Pike and we've been battling this problem for quite a while. I'm looking into using drones to survey for beaver dams and other blockages. This summer I saw some coho fry from an observation post. Now I have a plan thanks to your video. Your explanation of the difference between the air and the bubble.
You didn't go too much into your engineering which I would have loved to see, you are smashing it! Amazing job mate! You have earned yourself a subscriber
Noted! This channel seems to be evolving from 3D printed memes to more serious projects. I’m going to include some animation to get into the detail a little more on my next video. Thanks for your feedback and sub!
@@electrosync personally if I were to tackle something like this I would have researched all about the best hull designs, pros and cons of propelling air vs water and stuff like that which I am 99% sure you did so as well. Perhaps it would be boring to watch to a regular viewer, but it interests me as a hobby "engineer".
I would have killed for this in grad school. Well, maybe not because I still got to sit in the middle of a alpine lake taking water samples every week. I bet you could get in touch with some universities for this. The boats we were looking at were $50,000+ (USD) to do a similar thing. Although a depth sampler might be a good addition. Get variable depth data.
There are some u overworked using or altering this design. There are quite a few of these around the world now. The price of a professional rig is what inspired me to build one for mere dollars. I’ve had plans to do depth sampling, but I’m not sure if that will happen.
I'm considering using this design as a recovery boat for my RC models. Have you tried removing the turn fins, rotating the motor towards the back, and installing a dual-shaft servo that controls the motor and propeller for more precise steering? What do you think? May have to put some led in the front.
sweet ride electrosync. Im about to build a twin pvc pipe catamaran for bathymetry. Id be interested in your power consumption and speed - im looking to do 50km missions so efficiency in moving water is important. Great vid - keep it up - and chuck on an autopilot!
Hi! Bathymetry sounds great. To be honest, I haven’t looked at power efficiency too much yet on this. Definitely important on a 50 km mission though - a big payload ability should see you through though. Autopilot is on the list!
@@actionmandan8716 i might have something for you, let me know what you need, im building usv for d2a algal sampling and soon a usv for full suit sampling for depths upto 30m.
@@srnunan4783 that would be great! I'm a student that would like to determine the water quality of old quarry lakes, as a mean of providing a source of fresh water my country. Something like this would greatly aid in my sampling.
Electric all the way for this build! I need power for the various systems anyway. Plus, I’m not sure that the vibrations would work with all the 3D printed parts. Could be a good project for another time though?
Exceptionally cool. An underwater view as it travels would be pretty interesting.
Thanks! I’ve got a really nice, clear, alpine lake lined up for when I finish the underwater camera.
I'm pretty pleased with how this project is coming along. It's not finished just yet though. Underwater FPV camera next?
Underwater FPV camera would be interesting.

Sounds like a nice spot you have. Glad I could help!

Great idea! Thanks!
Very nice. Love how it's coming along.
Thanks! It’s all going to plan so far!
This is awesome! I recently bought some wetland property for a nature preserve and we need to collect water samples for testing
Perfect for shallow wetlands!

Awesome
Super cool project :)
Thanks!

Great video and great boat! Automated bathymetry for an eventual project?
Thanks! That would be amazing!
x2 for the autonomous bathymetric surveyor. Would really like to see your spin on one and this catamaran would make a great platform.
WOW
Than k you
would you be willing to sell this?
Unfortunately, no, it’s not for sale. You can build your own though using the build guide on my website. Thanks for watching!
@@electrosync thank you I need something like this for environmental sampling

Deberías ponerle un motor a nitro
