It's so cool to see one of these engines ACTUALLY being used. Every video on youtube of these small engines is just reving it on a desk.
-
You should make a Thailand Longtail boat! That motor is perfect for a longtail. You would have full power no complex gears and be able to easily control and steer the boat with a standard motorcycle throttle.

"I have not seen a single lady but there's five dudes lined up on that dock" Lolz
-
"What a beautiful aerospace-grade waste of time" Cracked me up

Today you learned what many a car guy has learned. We all hope the cool V8 will get the ladies, but it ends up just being a bunch of dudes. Lol. Awesome build bro. Keep up the awesome work.

8:59 FYI, you can buy electromagnetic clutches that would fit the size of that motor. They're belt pulley motor clutches meant to disconnect a belt from its intended purpose. If you machine away the pulley part, you can then mount it with a bracket like you'd mount a car clutch and drive it with 12v.

Try just going straight from the engine to the prop, one link like they do in those Asian V8 river boats they put the engine on a pivot point and just steer the engine instead of having any gears that get in the way So you can utilize all the power.

Yeah i'm not going to lie, that is definitely an incredible intro Daniel haha. This was a really well shot video - all of it was smooth, including War Thunder. The sheer amount of effort going into this project is insane.
-
Please do more videos with this engine. As many have said, nobody uses these engines to do anything cool. I'd love to see it tuned and running well. Thunderhead289 has great carb tuning videos.

When you spend to much time alone on a solar boat....
-
I'm actually surprised this engine can run under load for this long without a major failure. Also I think more reduction with big prop is going to be the way to go.
-
It's great that you got the toroidal propeller to work, since it's so much quieter than traditional propellers. Definitely makes a difference in this build... Totally...
-
I think you need to make like a 1/5 scale cigarette boat with these engines. It would be one of the funniest things on the water
-
A liquid-filled torque converter would be a really cool project.
-
Words cannot describe the emotional distress I am feeling hearing you engage that clutch
-
1:05 thats the best thing ive heard all day "pugs are more related to a football" im dead 💀
-
that anti freeze bit at 5:05 actually kinda worried me lol
-
The water pumps on those tiny engines are typically well undersized for the cooling needs of the engine. I think a reasonably powerful little electric pump would be the way to go to make sure the engine isn't getting too hot. Also if you swapped the starter motor for a DC motor you could use it as a little generator and maybe keep the batteries charged.

This is such a cool project. I'd love to see more done with miniature engines!
