Die Oberfläche wurde nicht "um 1/10 verkleinert. Sie wurde auf 1/10 verkleinert.

evo selacov - 7 years ago

richtig. der auftrieb ist auch falsch erklärt. es ist nicht deer benouilli effekt sondern nur newton 2

Kraut English please

impressive!

DOCWHOK9 - 10 years ago

Way too much effort needed in this demonstration.
Try a lifting airfoil, not symmetrical, or raise the pitch.

Marcus - 7 years ago

DOCWHOK9 you would take a lifting foil for early take off like you need on SUP or Shortboards (see GoFoil).
Here your goal is speed and therefore low drag. You want a foil with less drag at a relatively high speed (for a kayak) here.
A Hu ugh drag, high lift profile or higher AoA will only slow you down.

I am sorry but you have to eat a lot of soup before becaming faster than me.

you mean bratwurst...

@kojisitikurac 8 rowers could possible do it if the could some how have a staggered sequence, each rower delayed a little, not enough to collide, but enough spread out the power pulse. Nobody has asked how many watts does this guy put out? Did he collapse in purple faced gasping fit immediately after the video shut off? Better yet, put a hotrodded 49cc weed eater motor on it and make it practical!

I should be called a "flyak"!

lol better than the one we had at our club, i think the foils were further apart, it bent the boat in half when Olympic standard people whent in it xD

Martin Kaufmann - 13 years ago

Das ist wohl die dümmste Erklärung welche ich je gehört habe, warum die Hydrofoils Auftrieb generieren. Es ist doch nicht der Bernouli Effekt (Sog) sondern die leicht abwärts gerichtete Beschleunigung des Wassers, welche als Reaktion Auftrieb macht.. Der bernouli-Effekt hat nur einen verschwindend kleinen Anteil am Auftrieb von Flügeln..

OMG D: я в шоке,в скором времени лодки вообще наверное будут на магнитной какой нибудь подушки , будем грести в воздухе :О Video is cool!!!Wow!

english please

Better than i could do but I noticed the bottom suface if the foil was curved. Following air water dynamics it should be flatter like an airplanes wing. The only difference between air abd water dynamics is density. I make airplane props essencially the same dynamics as a wing, or foil. Great design lots of fun.

spankmygimp - 15 years ago

ok so i understand that when the boat lifts from the water that the drag is reduced and the energy needed to keep it there is less. but from what i see it still takes alot of effort to keep it there. maybe add more fins so id comes out the water sooner and comes into effect with less work ? i dono

Holy........... here's something to do: MORE WINGS = MORE LIFT = MORE SPEED

Jules Vangeel - 7 years ago

you clearly don't get it smartass

DaRealDaveShape - 15 years ago

oberfläche UM ein zehntel verkleinert?!? übersetzungsfehler: wohl eher AUF ein zehntel verkleinert!

Luther Driggers - 15 years ago

just think how fast it would be with hydrofoils

hmm the paddle shaft would be much longer than usual wouldnt it?

Kojisi Tikurac - 15 years ago

wow! Imagine an olympic 8 rowing boat equiped with this! Holy crap!

Willem Hekman - 15 years ago

Well, when you are over the bump of getting out of the water, the resistance drops a lot. And then you can just paddle without so much force.

thejetdrvr - 15 years ago

He sure is exerting alot of energy to get this up to hydro planning speed. How long can a human last at that exertion level....don't see the point in this. Sure it's possible...don't mean it's practical.

zechariah balasingam - 15 years ago

wow this guy seems like he is trying to prove something to himself

shockwave40 - 16 years ago

Brilliant idea

sam vanden auweele - 16 years ago

damn you need to go really fast !!!

robertek76 - 16 years ago

das ist sehr gut ja!!!!

antipike - 16 years ago

The hydrofoil is the way to go then ? is it

Angus McIntyre - 16 years ago

If the foils are wider than the hull, you will actually be more stable. For example, the Internation Foiling Moth.

one in my canoe club tries to build one by himself i think he ordered the "wings" from nelo i tried it today but i dont gets fast i was just very high above the water
