My mother in law was working with your wife at the bank in Cullman. I had her get your autograph on my issue of bass masters magazine at the time . Your our type of Hollywood star here in the real world,country style.Attah boy!
Gerald! You just turned what became a shit day into a great one! Thank you sir for putting a smile on my face. I wish you massive luck in the next derb. Peace.
M’s husband, float and fish down stream and when ready blow up stream. Being a plumber I do believe you’ll get better air flow eliminating the 90’s and going straight cherry bomb. Great idea!
All I can say is.....thank goodness the "summer break" is about over and you're about to get back to tourney fishing. HAHA. Love the "engineering" spirit, G. Never a dull moment with you.
LMAO. Going to share this with the high school team I boat captain with. They will love it. Everyone should be Gerald Swindle in there approach to life. Well done, both of you.
This would be viewed as a normal thing on lake Hartwell lol I was beating docks with a swim jig last week and saw a guy rig a echo weed eater into a outboard engine on his Jon boat
And another note.....Not sure what's better, your off the wall thoughts, or a good woman who is right by your side, making those thoughts come to fruition. Awesome stuff.
We are watching the beginning evolution of a new aircraft carrier😎 I love this video! The wifes commentary adds greatly to the almost british type comedy👍 with that said, few folks mentioned to reduce the end which will give more thrust, i would try reducing to 1/2 diameter 1st, and dont give up the video is a good one id love to see more
Hey Gerald just a thought...Can ya reduce the fittings down to like 2” with bushings? I bet it’ll fly then!My wife was gonna kill me cause I was gonna do the exact same thing with our blower lol!Good luck up north!Keep him straight MRS.Lulu I know it’s hard to do.We enjoy watching you 2.👍🏼👍🏼
I was thinking the same thing. Get a 3x2 fitting and maybe using two 45’s instead of the 90’s would also help reduce the air flow reduction. Increased pressure and decreased flow reduction
thats the key, focus the pressure, the water is too dense to move, but maybe, I would try to get it down to inch and a half or quarter, the smaller the better I would think
I took the internal blower, motor/pump out of a King size blow-up mattress, (110 volt) as it still works, but the mattress had too many leaks, so I ditched it and now I'm pondering whether or not I can rig that pump into the back of my kayak to make it go!
Did you try adapting down from 3" to 1". Like when you want better water pressure? Great ideal, I have a canoe and a 4 cycle leaf blower gonna give it a shot! Lol
Great video. I'm stealing your line: "My physics is off"." I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for a great start to my day!!! I agree with BassnBuckBilly, you should try reducing the outlet in gradients per a jet engine.
Gerald I’ll tell you what you gotta be the best guy on planet Earth I watch many videos of you doing things smart things talkative things I mean I watch this about any via TH-cam video you made and I’ll say one thing you’re a genuine guy if you were running for president I would definitely vote for you fix it and made sure that you would be president you’re entertaining you and Lulu are the most powerful couple I have ever come across on any entertainment or video platform or I can’t see in person because I’ve never met you guys yet but you guys seem awesome I wish you guys the best Gerald rip some lips please stay calm stay who you are because who you are is exactly what people want you to be and if you are that everything will come together Gerald if I had one wish and I was the day tomorrow it would be to shake your hand because you’re an inspiration to a lot of people and you just don’t know it…..!!!
This has me thinking… if i recall if neck the pipes down should have more pressure fine line between power and pressure though…. Keep this testing alive
try a T fitting with a long sweep. Think of like a power washer with the soap cup, the air will push by, suck water from the inlet and push it out the back. Might work
Alright I’m not a total physicist but the first time I’m pretty sure it didn’t work because the pressure below the water is greater than above thus no push. Second time you have it hitting two different spots before exiting. Let the air go straight pull of the PVC. I still think it can work IMO
Ever seen those airboats in FL Everglades? For each action there’s an equal reaction. The force of fan in airboat moves whole thing; doesn’t need to be aimed at water. This same idea, as applies to your rig is easy fix; just get rid of added PVC and let ‘er rip! I don’t want to scare the neighbors, but you mount two leaf-blowers side-by-side like that you’re flying.
That thing might have some kind of a back pressure blow off gate that won't allow it to move the water. My gas blower has one. you should see if you can stop it up
Just try reducing the 4 inch out let ro a granular maybe 1 inch and a half increasing the pressure there for giving you more trust from the smaller out let or marry to air blowers 4inxh pipe together and gradually reduce the xreat even more presser on trust mess with the out let size to find the most affected it be pretty simple I reckon you be flying it. I'd like to see that vid.
So. If you consider the weight of water and the usage of a leaf blower. They’re used to create enough wind to blow leaves, meaning that they’re designed in a way where all they do is push air with zero pressure regulation. Putting a tube on it and the putting it underwater is like corking the end of the tube with air leakage slipping out back past the fan blades. Because leaf blowers are designed for max volume as as apposed to pressure the leaf blower jet boat isn’t possible, which is why current jet style boats use thruster based systems comprised of spindle like turbines. Vs a plastic fan with angular blades.
Take all the 90s off it and it'll give 3 times the power every 90 takes so much air flow it'll blow your mind just like dryer vents every 90 reduces the length by 10 ft that you can run inorder for it to still be effective
Haha that was great. I could watch you two all day every day.
Sometimes a feller just needs to stick with what he's good at lol 😆
Bullshitn lol
@@fillup8177 Lol 🤣, Ole Gerald is a good one. I can listen to him for hours, would love to spend a day fishing with him.

the solution is here

I'm at home sick with an infection. I needed this today. That was very entertaining Gerald. Thank you so much for the video.
G Man, ya'll got great chemistry... you are a wealthy man when your Lady laughs at or with you! God Bless!
All I can say is.....thank goodness the "summer break" is about over and you're about to get back to tourney fishing. HAHA. Love the "engineering" spirit, G. Never a dull moment with you.
Just Had the idea to do this myself and looked it up to see if anyone had done it!!!! Awesome haha
We're like minded fellas 😅
LMAO. Going to share this with the high school team I boat captain with. They will love it. Everyone should be Gerald Swindle in there approach to life. Well done, both of you.
I have to say, if I ever need to smile and have a good laugh, I can always count on you G👍🏻👍🏻
Looked especially great on Fast Forward. Needed some humor after a long day. Thanks for sharing.
This would be viewed as a normal thing on lake Hartwell lol I was beating docks with a swim jig last week and saw a guy rig a echo weed eater into a outboard engine on his Jon boat
This is probably one of the greatest videos on the interwebs! 🤣😂🤣😂
Love this. Take the two elbows off run it straight you will probably have more power. You did make it move.
And another note.....Not sure what's better, your off the wall thoughts, or a good woman who is right by your side, making those thoughts come to fruition. Awesome stuff.
Meanwhile, the sales of fishing kayaks and leaf blowers have skyrocketed. Funniest stuff I've seen in a while...and I want one.

That was the best thing! I’ve laughed all the way to work. Just…. “It didn’t go nowhere 😂😂 keep up the great work!
I think Hobie gonna be knockin your door down for a patent on that 😂😬 Thank-you for the highlight of my day 👍🏻🎣

Exactly. Smaller outlet pushing off the water.

Hilarious GMan. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Another g man special be safe out there bud and stay blessed.
Man you are crazy!!!! Always a treat to watch your videos......
I love you and your wife! You guys are great!!
There is a invention called trolling motor!!!! 😂😂 this was a good un thanks G man!
Lol. That looks great when you spoke up the film. Great video. You hav a new leaf blower
Your my Favorite Gerald! There’s no pro as cool as you!
I took the internal blower, motor/pump out of a King size blow-up mattress, (110 volt) as it still works, but the mattress had too many leaks, so I ditched it and now I'm pondering whether or not I can rig that pump into the back of my kayak to make it go!

That's is an awesome piece of engineering GMAN. Keep o the great work and good luck the rest of the season.
Great video. I'm stealing your line: "My physics is off"." I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for a great start to my day!!! I agree with BassnBuckBilly, you should try reducing the outlet in gradients per a jet engine.
You have to make the second connection smaller diameter to force the air out quicker
I just want one full weekend with yall!!! LOL. It would be a blast.
I love this guy 😂 G-Man big pimpin’
Love it G!! 🤘🏽
Where did you get the lurelock life vest? I want one. Only boxes I use now.
Hells to the yeah! The community is grateful you set the speed governor to 120 instead of lettin her rip. Lol
Great job! It moved!!!
So we probably not going to see this at the Icast show this year🤣 Great video!!!!

Awesome wonder if ya put a fan or propeller in end of pipe have the air turn the blades?
Thanks for the early mornin' entertainment on converting a kayak to an air boat. Maybe two blowers would get you there. Version 2?
I'm ready to try one of those g2 rod and reels man
She flys gman good stuff
God I wish I was your neighbor.. it has to be a blast and hilarious!
This has me thinking… if i recall if neck the pipes down should have more pressure fine line between power and pressure though…. Keep this testing alive
I was entertained. It was that same idea as a fan boat
Love vid you all have a blast!!!!!
Rocket powered jet kayak!!!! You are the man G!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny as hell..."encase it get on top of the water and start China walkin". Lmao!!! Omg
Need to patent that ish! You the Man G!
Friggin love it bro....you da man!
😂😂 awesome stuff!
try a T fitting with a long sweep. Think of like a power washer with the soap cup, the air will push by, suck water from the inlet and push it out the back. Might work
The chine walk on that beast looks scary. You need bigger grab handles maybe an aquatic airbag for safety. Good video G.
G-man you a trip but I still love ya brotha!
Day Day Jones for the wizzin. this is pimpin' in the rawest form.
Excellent video really enjoyed it thanks 😊
Grass stuck in my prop. Pisses me off…. Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When will one of these be available for purchase sir! :)
😜
I’m wondering the same
Alright I’m not a total physicist but the first time I’m pretty sure it didn’t work because the pressure below the water is greater than above thus no push.
Second time you have it hitting two different spots before exiting. Let the air go straight pull of the PVC. I still think it can work IMO
You just scared all the bass away 🤣
thanks for the good laugh this morning I needed that today
hey @gman cut a hole in the last elbow so water can be syphine thru pipe. also might put some reducers on there for more torque😮
on jet skis you pump water thru a pump I think so the water is the thrust I'm guessing
G you need a sweeping t .that would draw water in from the front the blower would be forcing it out the back. Can't fail.....
Ever seen those airboats in FL Everglades? For each action there’s an equal reaction. The force of fan in airboat moves whole thing; doesn’t need to be aimed at water. This same idea, as applies to your rig is easy fix; just get rid of added PVC and let ‘er rip!
I don’t want to scare the neighbors, but you mount two leaf-blowers side-by-side like that you’re flying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was dying this whole video.
Ok, that was funny. And worth a shot.
I laughed way too hard. Thank you
You are the man 😎
Y’all are awesome buddy
Revisit this and take the 90s off just leaf blower out the back point at a little angle towards the water. I’d imagine it would be faster
"Throw the clutch to it", lol
You need two leaf blowers lol😂 However I have a weed eater engine on my kayak that I put a tiny prop on. It moves like a Strapped ape!
a quiet day of fishing in the yak Lol , it was interesting experiment . i think you need one of those gas backpack left blowers as a upgrade.
You better Trademark your Swindle Kayak Propulsion System, before all the manufacturers steal it. Great video, great couple.
Amazing videos the best shows❤
That thing might have some kind of a back pressure blow off gate that won't allow it to move the water. My gas blower has one. you should see if you can stop it up
G...make the outlet pipe smaller. That way you get more force out of the blower.
I would try reducing the outlet to a 1 1/2” opening. This should give it more thrust. Only cost you 1 3”x1 1/2” adapter. JMO
Hey, Great idea. Keep refining it and do another video
I could be mistaken but try reducing the airflow at the tip like a jet engine nozzle
Just try reducing the 4 inch out let ro a granular maybe 1 inch and a half increasing the pressure there for giving you more trust from the smaller out let or marry to air blowers 4inxh pipe together and gradually reduce the xreat even more presser on trust mess with the out let size to find the most affected it be pretty simple I reckon you be flying it. I'd like to see that vid.
Good stuff G! 🤣
Just maybe, 2 blowers.... And wheelie Bars for the Kayak of course....lol great video
Old G sure does get bored when there ain't no Tournaments!

It needs one of those flapper valves for ducting to keep water from back-flowing into the blower 🤣🤣😎👌
Gman- ya gotta neck it down,son! Go from blower to 1 1/2" pipe....now yer talkin'!!!
Hilarious! Reminds me of the Red Green Show.
You’ve got yourself a good womern!! Fun video my man!
This was hilarious. Funny content.
I love it! 😂😂😂
Nice day here in Perth Western Australia...even better when I am laughing my arse off watching you bro. Made my morning Peace Man
Pardon my English,I'm fuckin' cryin'...y'all crack me up! PMA!
It's absolutely awesome when you speed it up about 25 times.
The ol turtle always beats the hare G man!
Take all the 90s off it and it'll give 3 times the power every 90 takes so much air flow it'll blow your mind just like dryer vents every 90 reduces the length by 10 ft that you can run inorder for it to still be effective
Try a 3x2 pvc bell reducer on your outlet. That will reduce pipe size which will increase pressure. From your # 1 plumber lol
