If they ever remake Waterworld, this deserves to be in it.
i cant belive this boat is 8 years old already. I still remember watching you building this.
Yeah, when he said that I was thinking “No way it has been that long!” Then the realization of just how fast time flys by kicked in.
Same. The first video I ever watch of Jaimie was him creating a path through the forest to his dome.
Oh wow I'm just seeing this boat for the first time, honestly impressive
Using the resistive speed controller is not very energy efficient you should step up to a pulse width modulated speed controller because those ni-chromewires are just creating heat with the energy from the battery and a pulse width modulated system doesn't do that it basically switches the power on and off really fast to control the speed without wasting any power.
maybe have that as a backup in case he lost his controller
Or just get a motor speed controller 😊
Yea - pulling battery charge and wasting it as heat. I just set my trolling motor to wide open and used a control board to limit current. $20 controller in a plastic food container with speed knob hole sealed. I did like the adjustable pontoons though, that was a nice add.
That would matter if it wasnt free solar power.
Its free. You dont need to worry about efficiency. Simplicity and reliability are more important.
No circuits! No chips!
@@yougeoit's free but not infinite in supply. Cloudy days you might want that efficiency. And every mA of draw wears on the batteries too.
That thing just skims atop the water, has nice patina & electrics of a bygone era, happy zombie slaying!
Dude, you could probably patent that design. It's brilliant. I would buy a boat like that if there was one on the market.
Hobie tandem island 👍🤝
@@bugsy742nice, but expensive af! I could buy a real sailboat for that much. I'd rather just put two cheap kayaks together
@@mark7362 😂👍🤝
I believe your coil doesn't slow the electrons down, the resistance in the coil burns off excess energy you don't want.
I think you would find that it is more efficient to use a step down transformer..
The whole set up is like that. Nothing is efficient in a way like the nicro but in some weird way everything human designe is Taylor made for him.
Ingenious and somewhat easy. Bare minimum and indestructible. Sometime thats what you need in something.
I loved it.
Man, you need a gofundme page to turn this thing into a marketable little cruising and fishing canoe... very cool.
The panel placement alone is damn perfect! Perfect shade area, for once big panel are a plus in this application.
"I call it the zombie chopper because it would totally work in a zombie apocalypse"
"I got this motor for cheap because it makes this weird squeaking noise"
XD
pontoon boats are perfect for solar conversion. they sit out in the sun all day and always have sun shades that convert easily to solar panels.
Straight out of mad max beyond the land😂. Brilliant design
Reversing polarity with another switch would give you reverse... That squeaking may be the motor bearing.
Yep, you can wire to have a switch changes the polarity, (switches the wires) the motor runs backwards. Really just opposite forward.
its kinda Cajun janky AF, and tha's why its perfection!
Great boat all you need now is lights so you can travel at night
It's solar powered...
@@damnyiffers It has a Storage Battery… 🤣
@@damnyifferswhat is a battery?
@@damnyiffers😂 you ain’t that dense! C’mon
The zombies would be able to find him
The folding pontoons are genius.
Four seasons are my pleasure and my 24-volt marine lead acid battery can be maintained through winter storage. All solar powered of course.
Some lithium batteries have heaters internal to do the same.
I think this one and your original housebost have always been my favorites of all your projects. It first got me on to my solar powered stuff kick.
Might be my favorite solar boat ever! ❤ Make it the immortal zombie chopper. Don't cannibalize it for a catamaran. ❤ you have it dialed in well.
I remember seeing your channel when you were working it out 8 years ago ! Your moving that fast with a one hp motor?!!!! You should find you a tredmill and scavenge the typically high torque 2.5 hp motor out of one of those you'll be skeeting across the water !
I always look forward to your updates, thanks
It seems like the solar panels could be used like a sail at night or during cloudy weather with the right rigging.
Dude……AMAZING Craftsmanship and design!! I love it and thank you for sharing 👊👍😃🙏🙏
It's a zombie feast waiting to happen. Yes you may slice a few but the no chance of survival unless you have plenty of ammo. Zombies would simply grab the beams to the outriggers, then more, then more then zombie food delivery service ! I do like the design of the swinging pontoons it's a really good build.
This is awsome, especially the 3 speed switch.
Been watching since you started the wall around the first island. it does not feel like this boat is 8 years old. wow time flies.
Very cool, love this kinda bangup engineering!
That is a beautiful boat. Excited to see what it looks like in a couple more years
Caveman variable resistor nice !.. Thanks for the electrical lecture and boat breakdown.
Pretty awesome. I thought of something similar back in the day, I wanted to split in two jet ski inboard impellers two throttles forward and reverse capable. Bobcat meets jet ski makes canoe. Throttles look like and function as carry handles. You can spin on a dime with dual intake and exhaust. It look funny because you'd have pretty advanced controls but you would look like you're flying by the seat of you pants. Wrist twistings handles, arms resting by your sides. Lazy comfy capable
Very cool! I have a west wight potter 19 that I am converting into a little trawler by raising the cabin top about 20", adding windows and bringing steering and motor control's inside.... have some crazy idea of adding the pontoons with about 1200 watts of solar power on each side.
I’m just going out on a limb here, but in the bow of that boat, you could literally fit two one and a half horsepower motors that if barrel together and rotation set properly, you can create more energy than you use I would recommend Dayton motors, but they would continuously create all the power you would ever need, including charging the battery that you would have to set up an inverter to fire it up from the lithium battery, but once running, you would have infinite power without all those panels on top. Also install a flywheel for anytime I have a charge hits which probably won’t be a you running off the lithium battery which is constantly being charged
Neat build keep up the good work
Also, it does work engine the engine one and a half horsepower motors. People will tell you it doesn’t but it will. We have come along way in the last 20 years on electric motor efficiency.
After building so many boats from scratch, the design is getting really refined! Loving it
A reverse is easy to rig up with a 2-way 2-pole blade switch
What a brilliant build. Really clever DIY.👌👍👏
What a great design for the pontoons.
That is a phenomenal little project!
And no place to sleep. Lesson, good motor.
Pretty awesome. For zombies flexible panels are good. For longevity needs ro be glass panels. If you did an update some bifacial panels could improve the output. Though youd lose some of the sun protection.
The boat is great though. I like those articulating pontoons.
Make sure you have spare props and the tools to change it, if needed. Zombies may be soft and mushy, but they still have bones! 🤣😂Awesome build! 😃
all relying on the lone battery because anymore weight and that thing is on the bottom... botta bop bop bah, i'm lovin' it.
Love your work !!!! I owned Blue Planet Catamarans some years back. I love your boat!!! Cheers , Gene
Had that same motor on my gokart! Ran it on 54volts and 300amps. =)
Such fun watching the upgrades and additions of this classic! That's a good looking stern wake....there is hardly any stern wake!
Holy crap, nice build. This popped up randomly in the feed today; I drew something similar a few months back for a custom kayak/fiberglass build in the future, it's even got the shade, solar and docking pontoons. If your build has been working for 8 years, I feel validated now in my own design & can't wait to bring it to life in the future xD
Awesome build ,just fund this video there’s a lot of sun & water in Lakeport , Ca. & enough shade under your panels . Nice workmanship! No pun intended , Thank you for ideas & video.
You put a lot more thought into it than the rest of us who jimmy rig a trolling motor to our canoe.
Such a sweet ride! And so quick, just goes to show how efficient that thing is. Evolution of water transport in progress. Whatch out zombies, and watch out dinosaurs;)
Hey man... That's a really really good boat... I would not change it.. (obviously you can if you want hahaha) make another one! You are an amazing builder bro..
nice! put some foam padding inside the motor compartment to deaden the sound a bit maybe?
Its a wonderful craft, and has been my favorite of your fleet since you built it.
Thanks for sharing.
That's incredibly awesome 👌
Could almost have a small sail, but i guess it would need a keel.
It definitely looks like fun.
That boat is so awesome! I built a really crappy solar kayak before. It was slow but fun. I have a fiber glass three person kayak that I really want to set up like yours. I just need to find the time and money😅. I love the electronics on yours. They will last forever!
Absolutely genius. The next version needs complete silicone/plexy boxes around all electrical units and complete sheathing of all wires.
Genius devices however; my favorite is the pivoting pontoons. Amazing
totally dig it ---- lots of innovations ---
Super awesome. You have done something few could have.
Oy dude you are a freeking genius I absolutely love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great stuff man !! I have the same project but for an intex mariner 5 inflatable boat …☺️
There was a recent study that showed that panels angled up (like a sail) will allow for more heat to escape and thus for more electricity to be produced. Excessive Heat = energy loss. It's that fine line of finding the balance. kinda like sailing
Jamie would a PWM be more efficient motor control with infinite speed?
Jaimie hates electronics because they can break. PWM is much more efficient yes, but most of the time he's just traveling at max speed anyways, and nothing is more efficient than a mechanical switch. The speed control is just for docking, which is like 1/10,000th of his drive time. Not worth it.
looks like a modernized Philippine Banka Boat with modern solar electronics. Great idea!
you built an amazing boat...no kidding
Yeah, I'm gonna need one now
thanks for the tour! this thing sings along!
Great job!
The boat has a WWII navy, Mad Max look to it. Its friggen awsum!
Been watching You Bro😊 since You build the ZombieChopper...She is a timeless piece of transport😊
What boat would you compare this build to on the market? I feel like I’ve seen a military boat that looks like what you built. I’m not a boat guy but this caught my attention. Very cool.
very nice, how about another type of zombie chopper, trike with high lift hang glider kite with electric-pedal paramotor on the back with wide wing with solar at least 16m^2 or say 3.2kW. yep folding ultra-light flexible fabric/solar panel wing. yep kinda like flying water craft.
800 watts, that's more than I have powering my house right now. I'm guessing something like $3k to put together. Sick build, love the caveman style speed controller.
You could easily srt up a proper throttle and reverse. And youd enjoy it too ill bet
This made my morning
Like your KISS method.
this is the future for e-vehicles, cars and motorcycles electricity just isn't the right choice but boats are something different altogether, the lack of friction and weight used as momentum means batteries go further and speed isn't an issue, imagine a trimaran with a huge solar panel roof 6 - 8 times the size of this one,
th-cam.com/channels/uZqztojdZatslCPgYFgQPA.html
how about a pontoon tri hull, take a look at ( The Quiet Man) Solar Boat. 2 yrs in and still going smooth.
u could sell thousands of these or kit-form in Minnnesota
Regarding the fairness of a single source for a particular product depends mostly on supply & demand issues. If you're the only one producing a product that has little demand, nobody cares. On the other hand if you have a product that everybody wants and your're the only source - this becomes a controlled monopoly.
that is a great boat .
Thats cool also insanely exposed to potential shock and the elements.
Brilliant design elements.
Brilliant! Love the "caveman" rustic simplicity!
Great job
Add a solid state battery, they have consumer models available.
Works great even on a cloudy day.
this is amazing
Brilliant...1hp but you were really moving......must be very light
Pretty Cool Boat. But, as other have said, you need a PWM speed controller. Not a difficult or expensive part. That resistive coil thing is a No Go. Also, your cable gauge is too thin. For 24V at those wire lengths you should be using 10 gauge or 8 gauge.
Cool boat and surprisingly fast❤
I said “damn that’s sweet” 3 or 4 different times man. Wonderful creation you have
Very cool. Love your creativity!
Why waste the battery energy by a heater? Your switch can connect just 1 panel or something, for you to go slowly
Wow, looks cool. I would give it a nice paint job though maybe black.😊
brilliant well done great vid your genius is self-evident grats
Cool my man, cool.
Ya its quite brilliant should patent it .
You're like the coolest dude ever. First time I saw your videos is like 15 years ago when you used to wear a chainmail and shit and lived in that freaky dome house with the trampoline and stuff. Then I kinda forgot about you to be honest but recently I had this memory about this freaky cool dude who used to live in a dome with a trampoline. Took some time and searching to find you again but man am I glad I found ya again! I was around 15 years of age when I first saw you and now im in my 30s. Man time flies!
Jamie keep on rocking and doing you! You are AWESOME!
ps. What happent to the dome ??
🫡Very cool, man! Great job🤘👍💪✊
Too schweeet - love this boat - great job!
Shade tree engineering at it's best. What's next? Hydrofoils? Good job.
expect a visit from the Silent Yatch layers...😂🤣😂🤣😂
Talk about be guided by a star powered by it as well.
What a good design.
Where are the fishing pole holders? That's good trolling speed.
