Just bought some!
I understand that channels need video sponsors but AG1 is the worst. A terrible, expensive and just unnecessary product.
That footage is SIIIIIICCCCKkkkkkk
he just casually mentions his coolest new toy and moves on
This is true.
Hey, its Destin!
the dolly zoom on the bridge is my favorite shot
Nahh
“after that I let them sit on the table for two years“
I really excel at this step in life
an important step of every project
It's an important stage of the process!
It's like letting the dough rise or letting the wine age
I have many projects currently going through that important process.
@@aloysiuskurnia7643don't let dough rise for two years
The high speed stabilized camera with its own operator is so overkill and so awesome I love it😂😂
Looking up the camera it's a $70,000 rig. Definite overkill.
Then using the 900fps camera to shoot a hyperlaps. overkill overkill 😂
The shots are beautiful though
Yea that aint a camera that's a death star
You might want to look up the late Francis Reynolds' "Hydrocopter" concept. It's been many, many years ago, but he explored a fascinating hydrofoil concept that looks, from today's perspective, sort of like an inverted quadcopter with independently tiltable rotors that touch the water on each rotor circle's tangent. By controlling each rotor axis tilt in 2 dimensions he was able to place the water contact patch for each so that the thrust generated could point in any direction in the horizontal plane.
My Reynolds died in 2019, but he was a retired Boeing engineer who lived on Lake Sammamish (as I recall) where he proved out various model craft experiments. One of his early prototypes for what would become the hydrocopter used very similar paddle wheels to what you are using. His direct inspiration came from the way water fowl use their webbed feet as dynamic hydrofoils to get off the water so their wings can take over. If I remember right (it was the mid '80s when he was presenting this to a group) he said the paddle wheel version was difficult to control around yaw; that is why he eventually went with the tilted thruster design.
Mr Reynolds held a number of patents. His full name was Francis Drake Reynolds, and he was an avid RC air and water craft modeller.
That all sounds hecka interesting to explore further
Upvoted for visibility.

That was some absolutely phenomenal cinematography at the end! That deserves to be its own video! Well done 🤝
Very nice video! That dolly zoom at 12:29 is fantastic!
“GOING TO LIGHT SPEED!”
The Speed ramp at 11:36 is awesome. It looks like the water is freezing
that footage of the plane gliding is just so crisp
The reflections looks crazy good
That high speed shot where it was trowing up water and making a rainbow was so pretty!! 8:44
Your a bigot
I'm watching this on my lunch break in the boiler room of one of the paddlewheel boats from the beginning of the video haha.
I’m so impressed with your frequent outside of the box ideas! 😎
This is a brilliant remix
@@PatrickKniesler It sure is...
And how fast he prototypes them
@@DSIVXX Next he's gonna make a V shaped, high speed tank tread to increase the stroke against the water, say, the entire fuselage is a paddle belt/ treadmill, with the paddle wheels on the wing tips for stability...
A winged snowmobile with a 3rd center wheel you adjust up and down to change the surface contact (edited at 8:10) (I'm honest)
Same; at first I thought well this is silly but should be fun; but on second thought I actually think this might one the most elegant method to stabilize a agressive ground effect in choppy waters. I mean sure you can try all kinds of fancy active control with big surfaces and super fast actuators... but 'paddle wheel goes brrrrrr' is just really hard to beat in terms of simplicity and reliability. I think if you really designed a craft to make the most of this method I think that might just win you a Nobel for having officially cracked small scale ground effect vehicles (thats a category right?)

The cinematography on this channel is unparallelled.
Holy shit thats the most impressive camera I've seen in a long ass time.
Better be...it's 19 grand for the body only...lol
Daniel was the guy getting silky smooth drone footage back in the day when the rest of us were getting footage the looked like it came out of a blender. So naturally he's upped his footage game again!
You could try triangular shaped paddles to get a smoother transition when the wheels plunge into water. It would reduce the bouncing over water.
I love your experiments, science can be really fun!
How about angling them out a bit to the sides, and adding outriggers, to keep the spray away from the vehicle body?? This could turn into a super maneuverable vehicle and potentially pull actual high-G maneuvers on the water? 🤔
As a boat and somewhat camera nerd the camera setup is SO cool to me and the footage is downright beautiful!
That camera & gimbal is insane 🔥
This is fantastic work. I feel like the high-speed paddle wheel is a real breakthrough -- they allow a much higher tolerance for error in the wing design and PID controls. I'd love to see you experiment with paddle geometries and see if produce more thrust or reduce spray.
Also, the camera work was absolutely pristine. I'm so glad you're having fun with this.
When they made the sidewinder missile , on each directional fin control surface they had tiny spinning wheels at 2000 rpm to keep the track from squirming
to prevent the water from kicking up, you could have the paddles be curved, which would help eject the water before it gets picked up. it would also push the water down, creating more lift to help it get off the water.
This is so freaking cool! Nowadays its rare to find truly new permutations of ideas, and this is a good one!
I love that you’re not afraid to answer questions nobody has, just in the name of science. 👍
The last bit about surfacing propellers is actually how the fastest V-Hull boats operate. They have air lifting strakes, and reverse chines in their hills, these let the entire hull "float" in essentially ground effect. All the while, the outboard or out drive is connected to the water via a surfacing propeller. These propellers are shaped uniquely vs a traditional prop and in some cases are designed to operate with the centerline well ABOVE the water's surface, and only thin section blades cutting into the water. It's a better version of your "high speed paddle wheel".
Those shots at the end looked amazing!
the camera footage in this video was really good
Sick footage at the end there
All the birds that I've seen coast using ground effect, have their wings bowed down. It must be more efficient.
Your creation is so cool looking and futuristic. I wonder if this technique would make a good amphibious vehicle.
That camera setup is top notch
It would be cool to see how a discus shaped wheel would do- that is narrow and tall, sloping in towards a small diameter torus, without paddles
give roller ship a goog there's some really cool info from the late 1800s about that exact concept
Ah! I came here to say that, and did before I found your post. I think this is a great idea.
Or even pre formed cups from the bottom of soda cans glued together...
With that camera you have your own stock footage maker and put up all of your stuff run forward, backward and mirrored, and I would buy it all. That is a helluva camera setup and you are makin fine use of it.
I've now seen your dad for a full 1.5 seconds and I love him already
WOW!!! how your channel has taken off!! almost 700K subscribers!!! well deserved, you make fun interesting content that you narrate exceptionally well. thank you.
That Dolly zoom at the end🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful west coast winter. Out here on the east the river has finally frozen solid over. Getting a lot of snowfall so no ice sailing. Going to have to experiment with skis instead
A surface piercing propeller on a ground effect vehicle would be hella’ cool.
And crazy efficient. The coupling of a prop to water is way better than air or the paddles... Boats would flat *move* if they could fly 🤣
the shots have been getting better and better!
That High-Speed camera setup is WILD. The footage looks awesome!
Maybe rear mounted paddle wheels could work? It seems to work for rear wheel drive buggys that can pond skip. And the record for a motorbike driven on water is nearly 2km
This video equipment you were using for the lake shots is incredible. Thank you for sharing
omg that high speed camera footage is gorgeous!
i love how you use this track for the high speed footage. makes me smile every time.
that camera setup you have is amazing wowowow
The boat you mentioned making at the end is very similar to how a zap cat boat works. It’s a very light boat designed for racing and when on plane the only thing in the water is the outboard motor.
You are for sure in my top 3-4 channels that I look forward to every release! I love your projects!
the video is better made and more interesting than anything the BBC has made in years, the machine is great and the effort put into it and how it was filmed is very much appreciated by people who do not watch television any more, cheers,
Great job, I'm still impressed by your creativity! The footage at the end is lovely! 😍
My intrest in ground effect vehicles is actually driven by the possible real world aplication in the Stockholm archipellago and Baltic sea travel. Ice in winter obviously impedes the usability of boats and ships. Things go slow or not at all in winter, which causes a lot of trouble. Beeing able to use existing infrastucture for boats and ships also makes this vehicle type an attractive idea. Main drawback seems to be they give a bumpy ride when the sea isn't frozen and not quite so calm.
That footage is unreal! Can't wait to see more with that rig!
The shots of the things just high speed skimming the surface of the water are amazing
So nice. Thank you for your engineering.
Brilliant combination of past and present experiments keep up the great creative work!
this might be the key to small scale R/C ground effect vehicles
the world need more people like you Sir.....
Looks like a rolling wave itself. It looks amazing.
That camera was so sick. Amazing footage.
As soon as I saw the first few seconds of this video I immediately stopped the other things I was doing. Brilliant idea. Scratched my brain engineering itch perfectly.
Those high speed HD shots are really a step up! It made it so much more fun to watch! I liked the "low production" from the old but that's really coool videos
Man those old river paddle boats look nice.
Why is his slow mo shots looking so good all of a sudden?
You missed the part where he talks about the new camera he got
dude. the new camera footage is SICK... excellent upgrade - money well spent
I think there's a startup opportunity for electric ground effect ferries. These ferries would not carry cars, but would carry TONS of people. What's more, at the ends of the trip, they'd become VTOL aircraft, so they could land on a large paved area next to the water and not require a dock.
They probably wouldn't do well as VTOL, but they *would* make excellent STOL (short take-off and landing) aircraft.
Ground effect taxi. Pick up people and travel over water in ground effect. Actually capable of flight when unloaded? 🤔 this means it's faster when moving toward a pickup than otherwise.
@@dogefort8410 "Actually capable of flight when unloaded?" -- No actually capable of flight, period, but only does it out of ground effect for a short hop, so no ferry docks are needed. Just a patch of paved ground.
@@5peciesunkn0wn I'm talking about infrastructure costs and other barriers like that. It doesn't matter that they're so-so VTOL. They only have to do it for a short hop.
screw air effect! lets get an hour long breakdown on that camera setup! holy crap thats cool man.
that cable based dampener gives me some ideas of my own. great stuff as always.
Wow amazing shots from the boat with that gimbal thing! Love the projects so interesting
Excelent idea!!!! Excelent video! Congratulations from Brazil!!!
great idea with the paddle wheels. I like the Sound when they hit the water. Little idea: What about Holes in the side of the Wheel to suck in air. Like breakrotors. They also suck in air and push it out though the middel to cool the Rotors. Maybe this could improve the liftforce.
"And now on to the science". That camera mount IS science! Great vid as always
cute application - the paddles appear to aid positive stability - the differential action ? in the end was impressive...
I was anticipating the snow cat being integrated as I was watching....
That’s is truly genius.
With the personal interest and ground effect vehicles, I’ve been watching this channel for a long time.
Regardless, that is a truly next level development!
That gimbal footage is awesome
Cool idea. And the camera outro footage is amazing.
bro your exploration of older engineering concepts is so fun and interesting, keep it up
I love your videos so much! Please keep doing what you're doing! :)
You and Sripol are amazing... Your both brains could change mobility on the planet forever!!! Please do it ;) really enjoying the unlimited yet highly technic creativity!!!
i love the footage at the end soo much!
Beautiful camera shots!
Incredible footage!
Now I want to see you catch a trout and film it with that high speed camera!
Also, you can call the first puddle skimming machine "Puddle Jumper!"
Nice shots. It's amazing how the new tech, materials, software and everything else pales before the beauty of an efficient, light, impermeable, self-healing, bird wing.
Amazing vid and footage 😁 thank you for your time
Gorgeous images!
That camera setup has got to cost a small fortune, what gorgeous shots!!
Omg love the Movi carpon footage, not just the slowmotion stuff, amazing Edit 👌🏼👌🏼😎
Fantastic innovation and videography, well done for all you do. I don't always comment but forever picking up ideas.
Really world application for the paddle wheels: A stabilizing trolling motor for small boats. Kayak would be the perfect application. Using GPS you could keep yourself stationary right over your desired set point.
“After that I let them sit for… 2 years”🤣
Your content is always entertaining and thought provoking....
Watching this I kept envisioning the wheels on a backwards motorcycle like swing arm allowing the wheels to hang down to the water while pulling forward and up sort of auto adjusting to maintain contact with the water....
The best RUclips channel I ever watched
You made it to the New Atlas. well done, RC FT. Well done.
Gosh, Lake Union is so beautiful.
Slow mo is awesome!
Cool idea and very beautiful footage.
I wanna see more about that camera and gimbal setup!! That's sweet!!
"Alien ufo boat" :) good result!
That new camera mount is way more stable than I thought it would be. Great video as always.
That camera is so cool that I'm surprised it wasn't the focal point! You should totally try to find the rowing teams those people belonged to and the aircraft company and give them copies of these sick shots.
Beautiful! 🫶🏼
This video has solved a problem in my mind with the hovercrafts. I always thought it is not feasible to change direction sharply with this kind of vehicles but now I see that there is a better way.
That camera rig is nice, the slo-mo stuff that's backlit is beautiful and a dolly zoom at the end was pretty good but maybe better subject. Remember the zoom speed and the camera speed have to match. Also love the variations on a theme, iterations are the best way to perfecting a system.
This is a really incredible idea I really hope you study it further.
