    rctestflight Solar Shanty
    There once was a man named Daniel who
    He built a ship though it had no crew
    A ship to replace the banana slug
    The most hated vessel that ever was
    Rum treasure Ardurover Pixhawk 4 and so much solar
    Break of dawn till the day is over the ship will surely go
    He lashed his kayak to the stern
    But it wouldn’t track straight as he did learn
    2.3 knots the ship did go
    An impressive speed with a kayak in tow
    Rum treasure Ardurover Pixhawk 4 and so much solar
    Break of dawn till the day is over the ship will surely go
    Three miles all around the lake
    Wind did howl and the sun did bake

    regarding the wake comment at the end. What you've made is effectively a really bad wakeless launch. The idea is that the wakes from each hull cancel out so that the boat can keep up with rowing shells without waking them out. Try messing with how far apart the hulls are to try to get more of the destructive interference.

    This series has me so amped up! It was an instant click when it hit my alerts. You need little splash fins attached to the side of the hulls to minimize, well, splash. They are commonly found on pontoon boats. Also, can you attach a pinwheel to the front of your kayak? No reason other than for fun.

    Hello, nerd here
    Those flexible shafts are meant more for speedboats, the rear solid bit is meant to go in a strut/stinger with 2 different inner diameters, then it won't fall out. The square part should fit loosely in the solid shaft as the flex shaft contracts under torsion.
    The Teflon can be cut longer than the brass shaft, then folded over and locked in place with a zip-tie.
    They should spin the right way as they may leak and also as they can break if spun the wrong way, normally they don't leak when the boat is on plane
    A solid shaft with ballbearings and universal joint would be the way to go
    Other than that, awesome build!!! I don't understand any of this autonomous telemetry stuff but these vids makes me want to learn it, seen all your builds

    Adding talcum powder/baby powder to epoxy makes it easy to sand by the way. That would have been helpful for the last vid.

    You could add a "solar barge" behind the tugboat, to have them higher up. (Maybe some yellow floating device could be repurposed for that, as it would mostly be hidden under the panels.) You could even have a fixed linkage between the tugboat and the solar barge, from which you could extract mechanical energy.

    Very nice video. One piece of advise: Do NOT tin (solder) the tips of the wires that goes into the screw terminal. Over time the solder will float (think glacier) under the force of the screw and the connection will loosen up.

      It's somewhat why 99% isopropyl alcohol will instantly break the bond of hot glue on most surfaces. The water or alcohol gets between the surfaces. Water just takes longer. Or in the case of wood, gets absorbed and swells the fibres, breaking/weakening the bond. Keep it dry and hot glue will tear wood fibres apart before the bond let's go.

    That is really cool. The only thing I would suggest adding is a car fob type kill switch you can attach to yourself. If you spill the Kayak and your laptop and controller you won't be able to stop it.

    Impressive harmony! I love the tune. Great video and thanks for sharing the ups *and downs* with us. Good to see what works and doesn't, saving time, money, and effort. More appreciated than you know.

    I think you need a kayak with a hard shell. Will have significantly less drag, allowing you to go faster and straighter

    God I love your videos. Your Skillshare ads are the best. Not dry, always fun to watch. Glad I subbed when you were just a kid. It's been a fun ride.

    I vote for a bilge pump. Also, the songs are always fun, but this one takes the cake, awesome!!

    The flex tube is designed to bend up after it enters the hull, which let's you keep the inside end of the shaft tube above the water line. That will help keep the water out as well.

    suggestion!!! -- Can you build an gas-powered RC airplane that works on a Cell signal, so you can do a recon mission a hundred miles away? And you could launch from anywhere that has a cell signal?

    Cool idea. Solar tug feeling power to a drone with cord. Drone that can stay in air 24/7

    A couple trolling motors and a little 2 man bass raider with the panels floating behind or overhead canopy style would be the ticket

    I recently found this channel and the waypoint mission with the banana slug where you get your truck stuck is one of my favorite videos. When I heard the lyrics that the banana slug was one of the most hated ships that ever was, I was indignant. Lol. I want a shirt with a picture of the banana slug and text that says "The most hated ship that ever was" with hated crossed out and loved written over it!

    Just a suggestion to the design. Try adding an underwater spoiler maybe across the whole stern, but at least little ones on each hull. It will help with the nose bobing and gain some efficiency
