a quick idea in between, tommorrow it will give an update for the scraper.

a simple vibration unit for an road compactor. totate it left it will give an high amplitude, rotate right it will have an low amplitude

[efferman]

No, there is something secret in pipeline.

[efferman]

Nice! I really like the way you made the bow with panels.

[Zerobricks]

Wow...is that your first boat Effe?

[efferman]

No, for the to sail the technic sea contest i had made an harbour tug, and just for fun a paddlewheel tripod

[Edwin Korstanje]

I hope you put a lot off weight at the back .

[efferman]

I have three watertight boxes in the bow, and the lipos, motors and receivers above the big hulls. But i really want a bigger or modular hull for boats.

[Edwin Korstanje]

That's what we did not see at the photo's, only the two ships hulls.

It's looking very promising and can't wait for a vidio from it.

Mine ships are always to havey at the bow and wil never float.

[efferman]

When you look on the last picture with the propellers, you can see the boxes from the creator micro sets.

Maybe your ships dont swim, but they looks much better than mine

[Edwin Korstanje]

Maybe whe must work sometime together and make a good working and looking vessel .

[efferman]

How heavy was your last ship?

[Edwin Korstanje]

Between 35 and 40 KG.

2/3 off it at the bow and cabine/wheel house.

[efferman]

For this we would need a full boat hull. Not possible with pure lego, and printing a hull would cost 300+euro.

[Edwin Korstanje]

I now, that's the reason i never try it to make it float.

[vmln8r]

Very nice shaping on the hull. Curious to see how it performs.

Nice ... now, the structure under the boat, is that for support or are those special propellers? I do not recall the name but my recollection is the blades are vertical and they undergo some epicycloidal (complicated) motion ...

I believe those are Voith Schneider propellers.
