In the previous video we built an electric hovercraft using super powerful brushless motors and lithium batteries. However, it wasn't quite enough to lift a person but in today's video we are modifying the hovercraft with 3D printed compression impellers that will be able to generate a higher pressure inside the skirt of the hovercraft.

Don't die dude, I've been watching your videos for years and I'd really like you to keep them coming. These latest projects of yours are sketchy AF, you got lucky in that crash.
Yeah, he really needs to buy a new controller
I was slightly thinking that during the video but thought your comment was a stretch until he started talking about the inspected gadget thing lol please don't do that
@alwayzsmarter a stretch?! He had the giant propeller going full bore spinning around him a foot off his right shoulder trying to stop it from coming forward into him... yeah seems like a stretch...
😂
@@ttonAb2 you're correct. I exaggerated my joke
Inspector gadget propellers: make sure the props are always further than an arms length away. You’ll probably want the props to be able to tilt and have a gravity driven counterweight or else when you jump, they will pull you in whatever direction you lean, not just straight up.
I think this idea in general is kinda suicidal if you ask me.
that's exactly what he is thinking i thought yeah, something like the LLTV they used to train moon landings just without the "RCS". man if he can pull this off it could mean bouncy castle 2.0 for adults? problems with danger and with battery life, still very interesting i would say.
I don't think a counterweight would work, would it? Yes when he's standing, but the moment he jumps it because the pendulum rocket fallacy, right?
@@clonkex Right. IMU driven would work, though. This is going to be a nightmare to tune the PID on.
@@Corbald IMU-driven with some control surface or third or fourth prop, yep that would work
This guy is becoming more and more like a mad scientist. He will reach legendary levels when he is 50.
If he reaches 50...
Swedish Colin Furze?
@@sixcolors4226 Its about time to equip a safety tie
I thing he needs a human test dummy. I think a fully reprinted Simon made out of TPU and filled with water balloons as ballast. Fill them with red food coloring to simulate the eventual result.

Youll never lear youll never learn,
Your past the point of no return.
I can't be the only one who loves living in a time where we have acces to the knowledge and technology necessary for these projects.
this guy literally just put some propellers on a piece of wood and powered them up. Does he look like he knows what hes doing??? lolz
@@davidanalyst671...and a book is just paper and ink? There's a lot more at play here than a board and some propellers...
omg
@@davidanalyst671 Show us your electric hovercraft David

Awesome video as usual, Simon. For the Inspector Gadget project .. please ensure you are 100% safe from those propellers. Enclose in a shroud similar to how powered para-gliders do this.
also not only him, but also his surroundings no lose their Head... :)
Simon can't build one death defying gadget without building another. Hey simon, do us all a favor and make sure you cant put your hands up inside the propellers of the gravity machine. Its pretty hard to hit the "print" button on a 3d printer if you have no hands. And where does simon find all these frozen lakes in sweden? lolz I love your humor, so I've been watching ever since..... you made hydroplaning wheels for the RC cars. You were still doing creepy videos giving kids candy lolz
We have thousands of lakes in Sweden that freeze in the winter so those are in stock for sure 😊
speaking of the antigravity idea, there's some relevant stuff from nasa way back when. when the astronaughts were wanting to practice lunar landings, they had to come up with a way to simulate lower gravity (same problem as you) but it wasnt just as simple as introducing enough thrust
this is beacuse as soon as you lean over, that thrust stops counteracting gravity and instead starts to move you side to side. their solution was to have a central jet engine that is computer stabalized so that it is always pointing straight up and never contributing to your movement, but is always fighting against gravity.
i think that would be way out of scope for the video so you prolly wont wanna do that. and tbh even if you get like 10-15% of the antigravity thrust as directional thrust instead - that'd just act as a jump boost and might be more fun anyway.
Directional thrust would be scary and not beneficial. The issue is that if you start to tip over it will immediately pull you even further over.
Just don get yourself killed with this inspector gadget thing. Love the works you do! xD
That's awesome! But might I suggest one of those big red emergency stop buttons 😅
Also for the Inspector Gadget backpack, look up the pendulum rocket fallacy. Stability seems like it will be... interesting heh.
Yes, to get the desired performance it needs to be a quadcopter with a flexible attachment to the pilot, set to keep itself level so it doesn't produce any lateral thrust.
good plan , deadman switch would be better still
The propeller gravity thing is actually a death wish it's pretty dangerous because you cannot stay upright with just two propellers as soon as you jump you will be tilted to a random Direction the thing will probably hit the ground yank the whole apparatus off of your back and then some propeller might hit you in the face or cut the limb so be careful with that you need at least four propellers controlled by a flight controller and I would go as far as suggest using the EDF propellers that you used in a very tough enclosure that will not break open and cause damage because you will fall with this thing once or twice so be prepared for it
We need to get this guy a couple million more subs so he can afford some good equipment like chargers and better remotes etc. Love the content. Thank you.
So awesome. Always rad seeing what you come up with.
IGAGD , sounds like a fascinating project. Amazed the skirt lasted so well.
another great Project Simon, thanks for sharing all that good content with the community!
Seriously man, you're one of my favorite youtubers of all time. You're basically me, but 30 years younger and 30 years into the future (from when I was 30 years younger, of course.) It's so much fun watching these videos of your projects (and even being a part of them in your streams!)
It's been an amazing journey. Really fun following it on stream
Please install a safety deadman switch on that next project!!!
Man that was AWESOME thanks for your efforts in keeping us entertained 👍
Wow that worked so well! Nice one Simon!
Great Work Simon, Keep it up brother.
With Love from London Ontario Canada.
omg hell yeah i want to follow up on your next build! that sounds epic. you may also start a trend, where other folks want to create that device as well. cool hover craft Simon.
I've always found what you're able to do to be INCREDIBLE! But now that I know a bit about editing videos.. the fact that you're able to make such an amazing machine, AND EDIT SPECTACULARLY WELL is just amazing. Hats off to you dude💪
I have not checked back in on your videos in a little while. This is amazing. Your skill set is growing and what I really like is you're learning from your mistakes. You are a true junior engineer. You show the journey that you take and how you make new paths based on the roadblocks you run into. All the younger people watching... Learn from how he's doing these tasks. It's amazing. You should reach out to Futaba or Spectrum and get them to send you new radio gear. That fail-safe issue was big. I think you should go big and build a jet pack system. Reach out to the manufacturers and see if they will sponsor it.
got such a massive grin watching you rip around on that lake, looks soooooo badass!!!
awesome work dude! Love the project.
Love it! can't wait for the inspector gadget thing.
Backyard tinkers are awesome! heck ya man this is a win, nice build!
Awesome video and so cool it worked.
You really need shrouds around your fans for both protection and to create better airflow due to venturi effect and others which also helps with keeping static pressure in.
I built a hovercraft when things weren't available but might have to try again
The inspector gadget thing scared me. Please don’t die, you bring such good stuff to the world.
Awesome effort mate fantastic machine!
Can't wait for that next one
Simon, keep being awesome my dude.
This looks like so much fun, both as RC vehicle and also with you riding it! I had hovercraft on my "to build" list for a while, thanks for the inspiration again, will do it smaller though.
Just make sure the failsafe works and add an emergency switch, holding the thing and disconnecting batteries quickly is ok for typical model size. These motors up to 10 kw are no joke. Make sure you don't cut your head off with the next creation ;)
That would be an awesome way to clear the leaves and snow off your f my driveway. Awesome work!
Started watching you some time ago and you gained mad respect bro. all the time and money spent to learn but also entertain us on youtube is passionate AF forsure !. hahah goodluck with the new upcoming projects and also the hover thing.
Thanks Simon for making theese videos!
it is a nice messy achievement. Congratulations RCLifeOn :)
You Sir, are one of my very favorite youtubers : ) LOVE what you do. PLEASE stay SAFE out there! Hello from the east coast of Newfoundland, eastern Canada!
That was awesome! Well done!
Awesome hovercraft Simon! Nice video!
Plus less worry about going through a thin section of ice! :D Crazy cool build man!!
Looks like a ton of fun. Have you tried using string to draw your circles? Just put a pin/nail/finger in the middle and tie the pen at the right length voila you have smooth circles
i am waitting for your next project so much
Brilliant footage done by a brilliant man well done you.☮️❤️
These vids are so awesome man.keep up the good work
Just go on building this stuff. Awesome !!
Amazing work Bro!!!! Keep it up 👍!!!
Mr Simon Gadget!
Kudos to you..
Love the video as always , Keep up the good work
You are just too cool! Love all of your projects and can't wait to see the anti-gravity suit.
Nice build!
Frikken awesome! Glad to see the “safety cell” came in useful! The start-up noise is epic. Can’t wait to see the IGGD creation on your Twitch stream. Great success!
Up next. How to build a human blender. That rear prop is terrifying, you need a full cage around that rear propeller.
💯
Nice project and great fun!😆
I think someone has been watching the FliteTest StarWars land speeder build. Awesome video, thanks!
Simon you are truly an amazing person….with your imagination and talent we should be living on mars !
I could watch this all day!!!
so cool. what an awesome build.
I really love your videos, thanks mate!!!
Excellent work.
Congrats on your new haircut and mustache, good choice and appearance.
That was amazing!!! I can't wait to see more! :D
Awesome project!!
Man, I'm flabbergasted. Awesome project.
For better distribution of the air into the skirt the bottom sheet needs smaller holes around the edges
Awesome dude, love it!
Minimizing chance of death is like at least 3rd on the list of important things to consider when you build stuff. That why your videos are great.
That main propeller looked and sounded terrifying during the first crash 😮😮
Cool project!
Blev lite chockad när jag såg vilken sjö du åkte på (kommer inte nämna vilken av uppenbara skäl), av hur nära vi bor varandra.
Kul att se någon lokalt komma upp i TH-cam världen. Keep up the good work!
Imagine being your neighbor seeing your garage door opens, and this hovercraft rolling out.
well done bro...cant wait to see the gravity video! Love & Respect from India, Mumbai
Love your projects bro❤❤
You fantastic lunatic you! Extra protection for the Inspector Gadget. Talk to some people with motocross gear, they may be willing to lend you some just watch what happens! Definitely one of my favorite channels! Lets go!
Cool project!!!
Regarding next project: the propellers of the anti gravity device need a control to ensure that they always will point upwards.... can't imagine how to build this. I can't wait to see your next viedos.
Love that video! Oh boy you must be scared after the crash without fail save😮
Coolest snow blower ever! Enjoy the science.
It looks like something out of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. What an awesome machine.
I love it when people don't do basic research and just try things out only to discover there's a better way to do things that someone else already discovered decades ago
You can get a more performance (higher dynamic pressure) out of the lift fans by adding a curved inlet duct and fan shroud, so the air does not go around a sharp corner and cant escape the fan sides.
You sir, are insane! Love you content. Kör hårt!
Want the nest project as soon as possible ❤
With a propper rubber band on the outside it might be even better to drive :D . Love it so far
This hovercraft is awesome! I hope, we'll see an upgraded version of it.
It also sounds just like the airboat from halflife 2
i didnt know you streamed on twitch, ill be there for the inspector gadget build!
Awesome work! suggestions, try adding guide vanes where the motor sits, after the rotor, this should improve the static pressure & efficiency !
Wait, you’re the axial compressor guy!
The red color is awesome and if the human operator lost is life chopped by the propellers, the painting will remain awesome! :)
That is epic!
As for the Inspector Gadget rig, it was nice knowing you, bruv! (joking, of course we want to see it!)
Helt klart bästa kanlen på tuben. Längtar till nästa film!
Incredible build! you should try to make it a solid skirt instead of the typical bag system. unless you have heavy duty rubber skirts these don't seem to hold up, but you have the build ability in my opinion to build a solid skirt system instead!
Haha bro I loved your Kim jokes😂 n those close ups of the awkward shots. Keep up the great work luv watching your content. Also please please have safety switch hard wired where you can flip or trip it. Got to say radio link is a beast still working after a hole in it. Don’t go back to spektrum junk 😂 Remember safety first as your next project is very crazy.
nice santa sled, santa is the goat, also a nice snow blower, no pushing tons of snow in front, other than the air. yep invert the power down logic, if no control turn all off. like a single remote power 0-max trigger. well if your lower part of the skirt plate is in the snow it will work like a snow boat. maybe make it more like a boat bottom, buster or so. well why not also a personal flying device, a prop pack.
This is fantastic 👏
For your next low gravity project, make sure you implement some kind of gyroscope so that if you fall forwards or backwards you don’t get pulled around. Keep up the great content!!!!
Oh, jeez. That was spectacular. Inspiring to see how you will totally rebuild something and change course to get stuff to work. But I'm joining the 'be careful chorus' on the next project where it looks like your center of gravity and momentum are NOT going to stay in sync with the direction of thrust. Don't split this thing or your self into two parts!
4:52 surprised at how pleasant of a noise that is
Where are you getting your electric motors from. You are inspiring. My son and I built our first hovering board when he was seven, he shared it with his class and they still talk about it 11 years later.😊
That's so super duper awesome! 😂👍
That hovercraft can be deployed as a thin ice lake rescue vehicle. In case the ice wasn't thick enough at certain area of an icy lake and someone crash into, having this vehicle on standby for this type of accident definitely helps.
You need a sheet of Teflon for the bottom. That’s what we use in Louisiana on the bottoms of airboats. Less friction and very durable.
the moment we were waiting for! HYPE!
The camera man never dies!
Just don't stop filming! 😂
