DIY Raft ● From 2L Pop Bottles !
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2020
- Here's how to make a raft out of the most popular pop bottle on the planet! The 2L pop bottle! Once pressurized and attached together they are very strong and make a great floating raft. I used 280 soda / cola / coke / pop bottles to make it.
Tips on the Build:
● Whatever brand of silicone you choose to buy, make sure to buy the stuff that smells like vinegar. There is silicone 1 and silicone 2.
No.1 has a very strong vinegar odour and no.2 has almost no odour.
You want no.1 to build this 2L pop bottle raft.
● It's important to make sure the soda bottles are clean inside and out.
● I had a failure rate of about 5% of cola bottles that didn't hold the pressure after 1 day.
● I put 15 PSI in each coke bottle for the raft.
● Each bottle had 18 points of contact to the surrounding pop bottles.
● I started with 400 coke bottles and had plenty to test and play with.
● You may want to adhere the soda bottle caps onto the pop bottles since they could possibly catch on a rock or something and undo the lids

Before I made this video, I made a video on how much pressure these bottles can hold before they explode! It's crazy what they can hold! And what a bang!! Super loud!
Here's the video......ruclips.net/video/vPje04ctUeY/видео.html
It's fun to fill one 2/3 with water and pump air in and release it down a tube or empty auger barrel. Or let it spin on the ground.
@@iainthomas5809 Yes!! The good old bottle rocket! I made those for my kids a bunch of years ago. Lots of fun!
Next video ... How to make an oar 😄
Why inflate the bottles? It doesn't change the displacement.
@@joewoodchuck3824 It's to get the krinkles and creases out and to firm them up for adhering and proper consistent size for alignment.
Next project - fill the bottles with helium, you get Aladeen's flying raft
🤔
😆😆
Admiral General Aladeen?
😂😂😂😂
🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳😳
After watching this, I had several design change ideas.. 1) why not drill through the caps and silicone seal them instead of the bottle necks? Makes resealing and repressurizing possible. 2) add banding or shrink wrap around the edges to ensure it stays together structurally. 3) add 1-2 ounces of sand per bottle. Maybe 15-20 lbs total. Will make raft heavier, but increase stability on water. 4) put the green bottles in a pattern amongst the clear bottles to form your logo, name, or something geometric.
All great ideas!! 1) I tried every possible adhesive out there in order to be able to use the lid which was the easiest simplest method, but no adhesive would stick to the polypropylene caps. The bottles are PET and silicone adheres to it nicely. In the end after much testing that's why I went with this method. 2) yes, you could but I wanted to keep it simple. 3) I also wanted to keep it light weight. 4) I thought of that after gluing the last bottle. Darn. Would have been cool! Thanks!
Maybe spell S O S?
Along the same thoughts here. Ring it with plastic banding, use sealed drain tile, add pvc cornerposts...but then, there are so many ways to chase it to innovate.
I'm picturing different bottles, like the 3L Shasta ones or the square gallon water jugs
@@justinbremer2281 That would be cool! Like H-Punch jugs. They are large and square. A lot would depend on structural integrity based on the particular jugs geometry. If you wanted to use those large Gatorade jugs, they would withstand almost anything and last for a long time.
If I'm ever stranded on an island with 280 bottles and 12 tubes of silicone, I'm all set! 👍 Great build!
Lol! So true!!
If only Jack had known this.
@@xXBrianBelloxX wasn't
@passively impassive Aye
OMG! I was just thinking this, and then I saw your comment.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He'd still lack plastic bottles🤣
Rose would have pushed him off.
I don’t know how practical that is for the average person, but it’s ingenious as heck! 😃 What a fun idea. Amazing how strong it performed. I love this channel so much! 👍🏼
It’s actually pretty easy if you save up
I saved up for about 4 years with my dad and my bottlers and have enough for a raft that size or bigger
Yes. The silicone here in Canada was $8.50 for each tube taxes in. We pay 13% sales tax in Canada.
Lassi Kinnunen I did it use silicone I just found crates for the bottles and the taped them together and it’s actually really sturdy
@@chrisnotap Chris, you gotta move to Alberta - no sales tax at all. ;-)
I dont know how you sleep at night knowing all those bottles have mismatching lids on them
Lol! I was sleeping well until you said that!
No kidding, what a nightmare! Funny.
Ikr? Those coke caps on a sprite bottle is making me itch.
Yes, not just the mismatched color of caps but also that there are green and transparent bottle. I wish it was all transparent, same color.
@@Kittukat24 or at least make a nice patern. This makes me itchy in places I can't scratch.
This video is like opium to a hoarder. My brain has exploded with ideas.
😂
He needs to make it much bigger....much bigger
thanks RUclips for recommending this, it's awesome
Me too
You totally missed the opportunity to write something with the green bottles. Lol. Still a fun video to watch. 👌🏻
I was waiting for the pattern to turn out to be a map of Earth.
My son said the same. I was so tied up in all the steps involved I totally missed that!
Tip from TOT: SUBSCRIBE
Could do something with the caps also.
My OCD wanted to form a pattern with the colors of the bottles and caps...🤯
I was going to chide you for how much time it took to do it- but then i realized that’s the voice that stops me from trying imaginative things. Thank you for the lesson my Teacher 🙏🏼
This is quite profound.
Imagined u got stranded on an Island where you found a 1000 bottles of 2L Cokes and to your surprised theres also enough glues. 😊
And an air compressor with that little hypo neddle attachment.

Not as farfetched as you think.

If I'm ever stuck on a desert island I'm gonna build one of these. Awesome. 👍👽
Build it in more of a 3-D structure and cover it with the shrink wrap used to overwinter boats. Add a transom board in the back and you can put a motor on your new skiff.
Awesome idea. Yes even reg siran wrap wrap around will make it super strong with boards along all edges and strap a motor on. Sweet
Ad a gardener, my mind wandered to how this concept would make a nice cold frame/greenhouse. Provided I could plug up the open spaces. Great concept !
Square bottles, like Fiji Water, might block most of the air. You could also leave the lids off and put one small string light in each bottle to light up the walls.
You have lot of patience to achive any thing. Hatts off sir.
My oldest son made a canoe out of plastic bottles and it worked like any canoe out there . I'm very proud of my son . Thank you for sharing and you got yourself a new follower .👍👍
That is awesome!
This reminds me of the guy who built and lives on an island made from water bottles. Cool stuff
Nice. Years ago there was a guy who built his own island out of plastic bottles and fishing nets. He had a beach , trees, chickens...
Yes i just wrote the same
I seen him some years ago being interviewed
Great 4 recycling
@@rabbitrabbit1243 I hope that is sarcasm. If not, you are what I call a De-Cycler.
The whole point is that it's a CYCLE. All this guy did was take 1000 bottles out of the cycle, forcing 1000 bottles worth of new material to be produced, and twice the amount of (eventual) pollution.
Reuse is the second step. Recycle is the one that really makes the difference. If he recycled the bottles after making the raft, that's not De-Cycling, but it would have been difficult to get all the silicone out of them.
The people who cut them up to make string and clothes, or build houses out of plastic instead of stone are just ignorantly causing a lot of additional harm via oil drilling, refining, energy costs, and doubling the amount pollution for every bottle they use.
Again, the whole point is that it's a cycle. Imagine if I said I was a hero of the water cycle because I collected my run off and sent it into space where it couldn't collect pollution and transport it to the ocean.
That might sound good, but only if you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
The main difference between building a house out of bottles and throwing them in a landfill is, eventually we are likely to go mine the landfills for resources, but the house De-Cycles the materials indefinitely.
The point of recycling is to put the plastic back into a cycle, rather than constantly producing new bottles.
Taking material out of the cycle does the opposite, by insuring that those bottles will never again be used to create new ones, so the new ones come from.... Oil refineries.
Great job keeping BP in business, terrible job helping the environment.
@@rabbitrabbit1243 I'd expect more sense from a VW fan.
@@colmreynolds9869 do you really think all of the bottles actually get back to the factory and get reused?
@@colmreynolds9869 calm down hippy, everything I use goes straight in the trash. I undo any recycling you do, and have for 48 years. Suck it!
Thank God for this video. I'm stranded on a deserted island. Good thing I got all these 2 litter coke bottles. I can't wait to see my family again.
Hold tight! At some point tubes of silicone will wash up too!
I'm tempted to use this method to build DIY floating dock sections, covering the "rafts" with a pressure treated wood apron and deacking to fit snugly over.
Fill each btls with 1/4 water for stability..try it🤔
over time, tiny little micro plastic erodes from the bottles polluting the water finding it's way into wildlife: fish, birds, turtles, and humans that catch and eat the fish. (experiment: add lake/ocean water to 2 liter bottle and let it sit. over time you will see tiny plastic floating inside). if you fish or catch crab to eat, you might be concerned, if you don't care about the environment then you do you

@@ConorFenlon realized*
Very clever, and a fun video.
I liked your method of pressurizing the bottles. Using the goop as a valve/seal was brilliant.
I have pressurized bottles by putting them in a freezer before putting the cap on, and also by putting a bit of dry ice in each one. Your method was best because it inflated the flattened bottles.
As for propelling your raft, yes, a pole would be good - I have done many a day of canoe poling. If you scull with your paddle - swish it side-to-side and twist so it's flying each way - you could get better use out of it over the front. Me, I'd put an oar over the back and scull with it.
Thanks for posting. Enjoy.
He makes it in a simple way so others can share what they could've done...most of the comments are flooded with ideas....GREAT INITIATIVE ☺️
I didn’t expect the silicone to hold so well and be so secure. Very cool!
Fish tanks are held together with silicone, even the larger ones, 100 gallons, 800lbs of water lol
You must be the most patient person in the world to drill, silicone the holes, fill with air, then glue them to each other. I sit in awe ( at my computer.) Loved the camera taking a dive.... lovely sandy bottom...er ...the beach I mean. Thank you for doing these videos.
Wow this kind of content is the reason why I never lost hope of RUclips. I just remembered Thomas Grant tho.
Me as German :
“He can’t do that, it’s 70 € !”
Is that because of the deposit on the bottles?
Here in South Africa one would be hard pressed to collect that many bottles in a reasonable amount of time, because scavengers collect them for recycling.
So true, but I was too lazy to count the bottles and didn't read the description 😅
Here in the US you get no money for recycling plastic, that's why there's a plastic waste problem here.
@@denverdazzle5131 that’s untrue. I literally live in a state where they’ve been doing that for decades. The problem is that the majority of states don’t have a deposit on bottles, so while New York may not ever recycle and still uses garbage barges, over here in Oregon we are all HIGHLY encouraged to recycle.

👍👍👍 v e r y n i c e 👍👍👍
This deserves more views!! Clearly a lot of work went in to this.
I was a lot of bottles to glue!! Please share!!
Now we must build a city on huge platforms of recycled bottles like this raft
Probably a real possibility
Exactly
Actually not a bad idea! About 5-7layers thick and about a mile long and wide, that's a small village! Plus it wouldn't be hard to build onto. And we have more than enough waste plastic this could literally be an idea. Too bad it wont happen because literally only between 70-90% of waste plastic actually gets recycled which means the rest is probably incinerated. And I think bigger companies make money to do it so no way that's happening anytime soon lol
Or a house that floats.
Lol you clearly have some time on your hands. But at most I admire and envy your unbelievable and amazing amount of patience❗️
😊 thank you
Lol, love when you fell in the water, absolutely hilarious!
Zombie survival skills.
@@rowel_e You can probably make something quite similar from materials at a dumpster. The community centers bottles are just way more sanitized
Correct.
Did increasing the air pressure in the bottles really help that much? I would think the hole wouldn't be more of a liability.
You mean our current Prion Disease situation?
@@theesteady1 LOL what prion disease
That raft would cost around 140$ to make in Denmark :D
There’s a recycle price of 49 cents per bottle in Denmark :D
Video popped up randomly, glad I watched it!
Pretty neat.
Thanks for the info on quantities at the end.
You could raise up the bottles along the sides gradually to give it some walls. Give it a liner. You could even use bottles to build up some seating. Super cool. I want a bottle boat now
Other people have already done that.
Great!! When we were kids back in the sixties my cousins tied milk jugs all the way around a large piece of ply wood. They would jump off of it.😉🖒😁
Two thoughts -
First, if you still have this raft, try paddling it like an Irish coracle. Instead of alternating strokes on the left and right, paddle from the front, in the intended direction of travel. Use a side to side sweeping stroke with the blade nearly vertical.
Second, this brought to mind a race I helped with years ago. Each 'boat' was built using primarily plastic milk jugs. It was called the "milk carton regatta". There were everything from a giant mesh bag filled with milk cartons that 1 person tried to paddle, up to 8 person Viking dragon boats. They were all about as fast as this one, but many were not nearly this sturdy.
In case you're on a deserted island with several of cases of soda and some silicone.
This would be fun smaller scale in just a backyard swimming pool.
Ah finally you CAN do something good with all those soda bottles!! NEVER wouldve thought of that!! & being in south florida where there tons of water everywhere this could be useful!! 👌👍👍😀great idea l Love making stuff out of things instead of wasting them
RECYCLE THE BOTTLES.
BUILD YOUR RAFT OUT OF WOOD.
🤦🏼♂️
The idea is cool, but all this guy did was take 1000 bottles out of the recycling bin and put them in the ocean.
Literally....
It's not a cycle unless the plastic goes back to make new bottles. If it doesn't, new plastic must be produced instead.
sherry, a house could be made with this process as long as you could anchor the plastic to the floor and at least seal the outer part to keep bugs out.
👍 have had same thought for years, but never attempted! Now I will!
Thanks for the attempt. 🙂from🇨🇦
I was thinking of you the other day. I thought to myself:"I miss Chris! I hope he's OK." I always get excited to see what you're going to come up with next. And as usual, I am not disappointed. This is a crazy idea and I love it! You def made me laugh aloud today.
Y’all ever have that moment when you find that god tier channel and already know you’re binge watching all the videos in one sitting
I love long projects like this. The feeling at the end when it's all done is amazing. This must have been incredibly gratifying!
What do you suppose would have happened if you hadn't inflated the bottles? If they weren't crushed at all to begin with, and just had regular air pressure?
Now this is what RUclips is made for, Bravo Sir !
Wow, thanks!
I love the effort you put into making such a great craft! Its not like some DIYs that take's all day just to gather up your supplies. Also, the speed up time when you are peeling off the labels, and glueing all the bottles together looks neat! :-)
You will be popular in Cuba 🇨🇺

Not sure why this was in my recommended vids, but this is pretty cool.
Silicone is NASA single best contribution to the world of bottle rafting.
I just put mine in platic milk crates, then turned the crates upside-down and tied them together with zip ties.
That is actually a good way to hold it all together. Increases the weight but oh well.
Nailed it
couldnt you sacrifice one of the bottles and use the plastic to melt and weld the other bottles together, instead of using silicone? im just assuming that if you melt the plastic between 2 bottles, it would weld them together when it cools. ive seen a russian guy use strips of bottle plastic to wrap around other plastic pieces and heat shrink it to bond them together.
@@shadowsilverlight1651 Using the adhesive makes the alignment and assembly a breeze.
@@shadowsilverlight1651good thought, but : brittle. The PET bottle plastic is brittle once it has been melted. Silicone provides a flexible connection point you need that because for example the raft will deflect ( bown down in the centre) when weight is loaded on it
Even so the silicone gun is so practical to quickly apply lots of it in very regular amounts
Idk how this doesn’t have millions of views! These videos are amazing.. what the heck people!
Thanks for that!
Because it only seems like a good idea if you don't know anything about recycling or building rafts.
The raft isn't very good. The shape of the bottom might make it stable, but you'll spend 5 times the energy paddling to get practically nowhere.
It would be much easier to build a better raft out of wood.
And, so far as recycling, this is the exact opposite of recycling. Probably more harmful to the environment than putting the bottles in a landfill or just throwing them straight in the ocean without the silicone.
Because at least then, someone else might eventually collect them, and use them to make new bottles. This way, the new ones have to be produced by new plastic, which comes from oil refineries, which are filled by tanker ships, that come from off shore oil drilling platforms.
In short, the guy failed to understand the basics of raft building, and the basics of recycling.
Only fools would call this a great idea.
It's a silly novelty, that encourages the ignorant to build terrible and extremely ecologicaly impactful rafts that aren't even comfortable or nice to look at.

I just love this video without a music. Thanks for sharing
That's awesome!! I love your channel!! Thank you for all these ideas and tutorials!!!
Wow that's incredibly amazing! You could make a boat out of it. Well maybe use it as a reinforcement for a boat so it wouldn't tilt so much thus making it more stable even if you stand on it. I dont know how that would be or go about and i would to see one made! Great Job! this is one of those DIY innovations you can rely on.
This is a great example of how to make a happy moment. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it!
hard working old man keeping going 👍👍👍👍
...and just like that, the RUclips suggestion algorithm reads my mind...
I really respect the amount of work you put into this build AND I appreciate the video montages for our viewing pleasure ^^ Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh man this totally works. We did something like this with a crap ton of 2L bottles when we was moving big rocks in the back of my country house to help break up the waves hitting the back of the house. We used ropes to help hold everything together and we put a plywood on top to prevent the rocks from breaking the bottles.
Much stronger then I expected with all the glue!
That would make a great greenhouse wall. The R-factor would be huge
Except for all the big gaps between the bottles
@@johnjriggsarchery2457 really? have you ever used a knitted quilt. they have large holes tooo but still insulate
If I’m ever stranded out on a remote Atoll, the second thing that I’m going looking for are washed up soda pop bottles👊😎
Next you need a plane carrying inventory from Home Depot to crash and hopefully they have enough silicone adhesive on board as well as the appropriate hardware to use it with.
Lol! Exactly!!
Bickety Bam... 🤔 Nah, if a plane crashed in this scenario, I’d pivot - and collect all of that busted up aluminum, MacGyver the heck out of it - hack myself a sailing canoe... and sail all the home. Those pop bottles rounded up earlier would then be used to capture rain water to quench my thirst from all of that strenuous work😁
And a compressor.
At this age you are so enthusiastic 👍👍
The idea of silicone valve is very useful and really helpful also thanks very much for this idea and the proof it works so well
Never really try to test silicone either it's traditionnal usage
The silicone seal was a really good, simple idea.
The testing I did before hand showed it to be very strong. How it lasts in the sun and water over a long period is another thing.
@@chrisnotap I imagine you experimented with drilling the cap and sealing that. What made drilling the bottle neck necessary as opposed to the cap?
When COVID happens and you just want to leave the world... 🛶
Simple elegant and effective design. Nice work.
Apenas baja el nivel de flotación !!!!! Bravo excelente.
Now make 3 more sections, put them together, and add a sail out of some recycled bubble wrap. Go fishing, and if you get bored you can pop bubble wrap. Add a rudder and a lawn chair. Tada!
That reminds me of the movie Papillon when Steve McQueen made a raft out of coconuts to escape
from the so-called Devils Island.
Thank you for this brilliant idea. 😘
*4:42* I love that sand pattern!
GREAT edits and fantastic pacing! This work is a treat that stands out!!
Thanks for that great feedback!
It is terrible to learn that covid and quarantine has driven you to the breaking point but hey, at least your staying busy.......LOL
Good i like it. Very very good example to recycle plastics. Everyone should use this idea to improve earth
Hello Chris, and thank you for the video! It's obvious that a lot of trial and error and prep went into the different aspects of this project before coming together. I would like to ask if you're interested in doing a follow-up video, showing some or all of the below:
1) Longevity of the bond between the bottles
2) UV resistance. I know one limiting factor is the bottle, depending on the brand. But it'd be interesting to study the integrity of the silicone valves and bonding
3) Impact of the seasonal cycles of temperature
4) Optimum size of the raft to prevent overloading or overflexing the bond between bottles in a slightly wavy environment. Like for example the wake of a nearby boat.
5) Methods to tie several of these rafts together (as opposed to building a monolythic structure that overloads some bottles when subjected to small waves or wake of a passing boat)
6) Methods and ideas for laying a relatively lightweight top surface for better weight distribution (and safety/comfort).
I don't need to go to a community center. I have been collecting all types of plastic containers for ages, with the hope to build several floating projects. I eventually concluded that not all are fit for the purpose, as some deteriorate quickly from UV rays, even though they're supposed to resist the same when they're labeled the same. Oh well. So in short, I have selected the Costco Kirkland water bottle, which I now have thousands of, waiting to be upcycled. Some questions, if you would be so kind to answer:
1) These bottles are 12 inches high and cylindrical in shape, roughly 2.75 inch diameter, with thick and non crinkly straight walls for nearly 10 inches. It's labeled as PET. Would you recommend a bead of silicone rather than 3 distinct blobs for bonding adjacent bottles?
2) My first intent is a floating boardwalk onto a pond where water levels vary significantly with the seasons. Therefore the rafts would settle on hard surface for part of the year. Picture a boardwalk that is several hundred feet long, made up of small sections (rafts) that are tied together, optimally sized so when they are resting on ondulating dry terrain, they're not going to fall apart when a person steps on them. Perhaps I should have started with this description :) I think now you see why I asked for all the items above :) Do you have recommendations? I'll be experimenting and testing different sizes, but thought you may have insight to jumpstart my work and I thank you in advance
I'm sure you've already thought of the potential of your project, even though many see it as entertainment. I'm truly committed to exploiting this method for a real life sustainability solution and so I hope to hear back from you
ALSO....Let's get you to 5 million views really soon!!
All the best,
Tarek
All good questions.
1) Don't know but I do know silicone is for interior and exterior and in my experience holds up for years.
2) These bottles do degrade in sunlight but again can go for years.
3) Don't know but PET is very robust and should do fine through cold hot cycles.
4) Don't know but the size I had made was pretty stable. Another foot each way would have been nice.
5) That's a good question. I'm not sure how you could attach each separate unit together.
6) First thing that comes to mind is to use Coroplast. Coroplast is plastic cardboard. You'd need to test it to see if it can be adhered with silicone. Silicone will not stick to some plastics.
1)These bottles could work but you need to do some testing to see the max pressure they can take and then decide on a low pressure to go with then do some testing to see how much silicone is best.....a bead or blobs.
2) This one I definitely can't answer! You'd need to make one raft and then do a bunch of stress tests yourself on uneven terrain to see the max abuse they can take.
This all sounds like a great project to use your brain, hands and creativity. Even if each step fails , it's all about experimenting and trying different things to see what works. Good luck.
@@chrisnotap Thank you for the prompt response! I'll certainly be experimenting extensively. And as you said, the one successful try will be worth all the failed ones leading up to it. All the best to you!
The creative brains behind the video and the ideas are unbelievable. Impressed to the next level
wow, you really like pop bottles. first it was a portable compressor then it was a extension cord cover and now its a raft
Definitely better than them going to the landfill.
Don't forget all the mousetraps too!!

Amazing project
And for those who don’t live near a body of water that would also make a decent bed to sleep on, even as a box spring and a mattress over the top of it.
I think it would have no give and be very hard. However air spaces would make it ideal ventilated base for a mattress.
@@adrianjohnson7920 I agree, and if you think about it not that hard to collect that many bottles to make a bed
this is part one right...part two...double the area, add a wall and two seats
Excellent! I'll have to remember that when I find myself marooned on a desert Island.
Excelente hermano, gracias por tu tiempo. Saludos desde Argentina.
