      if he had of had a smaller motor he would not have had as much weight in the back which would have raised his level in the water keeping the water out during his turn and yes your thoughts on this matter are also correct

      @Muck006 Před 3 lety +6

      Actually ... Jeremy's concept is the best one, BUT the insistence on "getting the biggest motor possible" is what makes it terrible. He could have gotten two motors with more power combined OR should have gone for the "water pump -> Jetski" propulsion system ... which would have made the concept MID-ENGINED.
      Now imagine replacing the car-engine with electric motors and the "generator" being behind the driver on the open area ... and then using the same generator to power electric pumps sucking in water and ejecting it again ... and possibly some "retractable" hydrofoils/fins at the front ... and you have a decent concept for such a car.
