Hahaha imagine getting pulled over in that. "Yeah sorry officer, the snow storm buried my car and my boss was riding my ass to get the office, had to take the prop sled"
@J I'm thinking you're correct on this one, drunk or not, you aren't the one in control necessarily, make a bad call cause of the alcohol and the horse would decide you're stupid and go with the safe option! Right??!?
"Yeah this? This large electric motor and propellor? Yeah this is just some leftovers from that time I built and then flew an airplane. An actual, life-sized airplane, in which I flew and which I piloted. Yeah no big deal, you know, needed an upgrade" When you talk about it all so casually, you are doing something very well.
What about twin engine? It would give you more thrust without having to overload the engines and the posibility of differencial thrust as a yaw axis. Looks really fun nonetheless, great job peter!
Ok, this is really awesome and would be even cooler to see you attach it to a runner sled and go out on a frozen lake. You would get some crazy speed. Hardly no drag.
I like it! Thanks Pete, the stuff you build reminds me of when I was a kid. I didn't build anything as large as you do because I was in NYC, and I think the Cops wouldn't like me trying to lift off a very large model plane with collateral damage a possibility. As far as the sled goes... Stiffer sled and outriggers should help. Your projects are a hoot.
Surface area doesn't really matter for friction. What would matter is that friction between well waxed skis and snow is way less than between a shitty sled and snow.
@@tissuepaper9962 You may be right but if so, why do catamarans (with dual hulls and less combined water contact area) always beat regular sailboats in a race?
@@thuswaldner1 Hydrodynamic drag isn't the same as friction. It's much more complicated to model, and pretty much completely incomparable. Anyway, catamarans are faster because they're lighter, they're more stable, they have a wider base, which translates to more efficient use of the energy provided by the wind for several reasons. There are a multitude of reasons why catamarans are generally faster than traditional hulls.
That's an awesome air sled! :D Nice to see that we have the same ideas - we did the exactly same thing last weekend but used our bathtub sled of course :D
yet he can still make use of pretty much any household item has has on hand. who needs to buy a box when you can just use the cardboard one that stuff came in.
Grim Repair when gliding over snow on either a sled or skis or snowboard more hardpacked snow or stiff snow is always better because there’s less friction which makes the sliding better
Love your videos, so PLEASE put a prop guard on there. you fall to the side and that blade will come right for you. I know you are already know that. Great work though.
Imagine being on a desert island with this guy... you'll be on your way home in a plane made out of driftwood and washed up junk in no time. See how fast he works :p
it's cool to see younger generations still interested in making things with their hands. I could hang out with this guy all day. nice workshop peter. and hello from a fellow ohioan down in cincinnati
The wright brothers played it fairly safe themselves when it came to the design. they pretty much built it for stability entirely and it was incredibly difficult to turn
A dual rudder that was half as long but the same height as yours and air foiled before being fiberglassed would likely be more efficient. That's awesome however that you did make it work and you've inspired me once again with you engineering prowess. Keep up the GREAT work!
Ok, we tried something similar back when i was young and flexible..my buddy tipped over and the prop hit the ground. You can guess what happened. You must be REALLY good at these projects to still have all your teeth!!! ... Glad your on our side...just sayn... Glad i found your channel!!
Very entertaining Peter...living here in the Arizona desert, I've heard of snow but I'm not ready to give up my shorts and sandals to explore. Thanks for sharing. Jim
Peter, you would make an awesome Dad! Just imagine the looks on the other kid's faces as yours speeds by. Really enjoy your videos...Keep up the good work
I’m glad you left flite test, your videos are way better and are edited really well. I know you’re still on good terms with them and everything, I just like your content on your own a lot more.
You have the greatest constructions ever, Peter. Have you considered a "vehicle" known as a Ground Effect Vehicle? It's effectively a boat with wings that are insufficient to lift it out of ground effect, yet powerful enough to get it clear of the water. Some designs include a hovercraft type skirt to break the friction on the water, allowing for quicker lift-off. The US Coast Guard considers it a boat, while the FAA considers it a boat, because if properly designed, it cannot climb out of ground effect. There are some huge Soviet examples on the 'net but the hobbyist size is more interesting.
get a spud bar or hand auger, if the ice is 4-6 inches its usually safe to walk on. people drive trucks on 12inches of ice.. it would be awesome to run this on ice it would fly, just look into ice fishing safety just in case..
I wish you had our Canadian winter roads, in the prairies you will find them never salted with atleast an inch of ice, it was actually only during the winter we could longboard on the icy streets because they were normally mostly ruble lol
finally came across a project build where they actually show you it operating. Some of them are like click bait, there is very little footage of them showing you operating the machine/device the built.
I would have gone with a twin motor system mounted into a fiberglass ice boat design. Something you may wish to consider, look at a classic radio flyer sled. Perhaps you will see what I see...... On a larger scale of course..... Food for thought
Awesome build can't wait to see the next vid my suggestion is a lake as long as the snow is not too deep on the ice you would have tons of room to get that thing going fast
First time ever seeing this channel and as an old buzzard, I'm very impressed ! It's nice to see that at least ONE millennial has the capability to do something with his brain cells and hands besides playing video games in his mother's basement all day ! Side note... Peter, you really need a Tig welder!
I know, did you see him about fall over right at first. He would have stuck more firmly to the ground while the light sled continued forward and possibly gouging him. No thanks.
I like this idea alot. I have a 5hp Briggs I've been looking to turn into something. Skis seem like the way to go with this, honestly. I like the sled though. Maybe a sled with skis under it
In 1970 I had a neighbor that would take his flat bottom, swan boat out on the farm fields after a freshly fallen snow. It made me laugh with a childlike glee that I just did while watching your video!
Hahaha imagine getting pulled over in that. "Yeah sorry officer, the snow storm buried my car and my boss was riding my ass to get the office, had to take the prop sled"
Im thinking no tickets since no laws onn it ,lol unless it falls under snowmobile
Charles New a guy got a ticket in australia for riding a motorised esky, anything can happen
I got pulled over once being towed in a power wheels.
@@newdogatplay It is not technically a motor vehicle, as there are no driven wheels, or wheels at all!

Like an airboat
With a parachute
I want to see that on a frozen lake
Would be the best place for it

With a proper sledge!
I wanna see it on a thawed lake

Stiffer sled and outriggers should help.
Your projects are a hoot.
You should put a pair of skies on the sides with a suspension . Interested to see if it would go faster since there's less ground contact .
Surface area doesn't really matter for friction. What would matter is that friction between well waxed skis and snow is way less than between a shitty sled and snow.

what could possibly go wrong with a prop on an uncontrollable sled in snow
ahahahahahahahaha wonderful

That is the first thing that came to my mind. That propeller and rotation rate can be a an exciting trip to the ER as well.

Up.
austiwawa lol!! I was thinking across water 😂
Put 2 motors on it
Bigger motor, up the hill.
It's been 2 years Peter. This was awesome. Make a new one!
I love the production on this video, it is like How To Basic where everything is thrown around in fast-motion. Well done!

S P I N N Y B O I
BIG BOI
If he dies I claim his skull
Mr. Frogman99 okay i want the brain
Tek Tok deal
Make the bottom heated, it will slide alot bettet as it melts the snow faster than the friction from the sleds base itself
Could just run salt water on it lol
friction will heat it enough
plus it doubles as a seat warmer
Melting snow has always seemed slower to me
Grim Repair when gliding over snow on either a sled or skis or snowboard more hardpacked snow or stiff snow is always better because there’s less friction which makes the sliding better

yes haha, prop gaurd is on order!
I was going to say something similar. glad you have it in hand.

You Should make a Hovercraft! You can upgrade this design into a year-round "air sled"
Good thinking 99!
Imagine falling off and the slide flying past you and taking your arm off
I was thinking head...
if they had played it safe THE WRIGHT BROTHERS would have never left the ground.

Exactly, the world is a touch more safety conscious than the days of the Wright brothers too 🙂 looks like fun, until it isn't

His first ultra-light flights were done using that.
The GEV types can't climb out of ground effect, though, by design, even with more power, unlike Peter's great builds thus far.
Fred U. FliteTest did that with a rc plane/boat
I remember that episode, but I'd like to see Peter scale it up to human bean sized, but not as large as the Soviet cargo transporters.
Glad Im not alone. I posted the same thing twice prior. Peter is probably smart like everyone to not read comments
Hahahaha, that thing is awesome :) Any frozen ponds nearby?

My favourite moments are when Peter doesn't know he's being filmed and just responds "wut?"
Watching your videos makes me feel like a little boy again and that there IS magic in the world! Keep up the good work!
Cool video 👌.
As I'm sure you know, welding all the metal parts together is faster, stronger and makes end product weigh less.
Those motors would make a great lift and drive motor for a small hovercraft too. Great job on the video as always !!
In a lot of cases you could use rivets vice bolts. Less cost, smaller holes, and easier to apply.
, less likely to vibrate loose.
That's totally save, having that prop exposed like that… no worries.
* Before you said it needed a propguard >
Yeah its save
So save
cool! used to put a hand-held sail on a sled and sail it on ice on highlandtown lake. had fun with that thing.
You achieve more manoeuvrability from a double rudder configuration, a single rudder mounted in the centre only redirects half the air flow.

Omg lol
